[Qemu-block] [PATCH v6 0/4] Clean unused entries in the qcow2 L2/refcoun


From: Alberto Garcia
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH v6 0/4] Clean unused entries in the qcow2 L2/refcount cache
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2015 18:27:20 +0200

v6:
- Update documentation to clarify what "unused entries" mean.

v5: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg00573.html
- Fix build in mingw.
- Use getpagesize() instead of sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE).
- Clarify that 0 is the default value for 'cache-clean-interval', and that
  it disables the feature.
- Add the patch that documents how to configure the cache to this
  series, expanded with the explanation of 'cache-clean-interval'.
  (previous version: 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg02253.html)

v4: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg06120.html
- Revert the 'cache-clean-interval' change. This should probably go
  into a new BlockDeviceInfoSpecific struct (along with other
  settings), but is out of the scope for this series.

v3: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg05473.html
- Add 'cache-clean-interval' field to ImageInfoSpecificQCow2.

v2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg05316.html
- Clarify that the block-commit mentioned in the first patch refers to
  the HMP commit command.
- Check the value of cache_clean_interval and cast it accordingly to
  prevent it from overflowing.

v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg03510.html

Regards,

Berto
