[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 00/26] qcow2: Support refcount orders != 4

[Max Reitz]

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 23 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.


v5:
- Patch 5: Use absolute value for addend instead of the two's complement
  for negative values [Stefan]
- Patch 6:
  - Conflicts due to the changes in patch 5
  - Dropped the "if (ret >= 0)" -> "if (ret == 0)" hunk; since the
    update_refcount() return value was never touched in this series
    there is no point in modifying the callers' checks for their return
    value [Eric]
- Patch 9: Use DIV_ROUND_UP() [Eric]
- Patch 16: Rebase conflicts due to Fam's patch removing trailing
  whitespace in all qemu-iotests/*.out files
  (7486458c33cd3e5714368f181a5fea39c54444ca); I kept the R-bs because
  these are only trailing whitespace conflicts in *.out files which are
  really trivial.
  There are two not-so-trivial conflicts: Two hunks are missing from v5
  which were part of v4 which did nothing but remove trailing
  whitespace. Obviously those are no longer necessary, so removing these
  hunks was actually trivial after all.
