[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] qcow2: Batch flushes for COW


From: Kevin Wolf
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] qcow2: Batch flushes for COW
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:50:22 +0100

qcow2 calls bdrv_flush() after performing COW in order to ensure that the
L2 table change is never written before the copy is safe on disk. Now that the
L2 table is cached, we can wait with flushing until we write out the next L2
table.
