[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/21] qcow2: Support refcount orders != 4

[Max Reitz]

This should not need much of a cover letter, but here goes anyway:

As of version 3, the qcow2 file format supports different widths for
refcount entries, ranging from 1 to 64 bit (only powers of two).
Currently, qemu only supports 16 bit, which is the only width supported
by version 2 (compat=0.10) images.

This series adds support to qemu for all other valid refcount orders.
This is mainly done by adding two function pointers into the
BDRVQcowState structure for reading and writing refcount values
independently of the current refcount entry width; all in-memory
refcount arrays (mostly cached refcount blocks) now are void pointers
and are accessed through these functions alone.

Thanks to previous work of making the qemu code agnostic of e.g. the
number of refcount entries per refcount block, the rest is fairly
trivial. The most complex patch in this series is patch 18 which
implements changing the refcount order through qemu-img amend.

To test different refcount widths, simply invoke the qemu-iotests check
program with -o refcount_width=${your_desired_width}. The final test in
this series adds some tests for operations which do not work with
certain refcount orders and for refcount order amendment.
