[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/19] write/create for Parallels images with reasonable performance

[Denis V. Lunev]

This patchset provides an ability to create of/write to Parallels
images and some testing of the new code. Writes are not optimized
now at all, we just modify catalog_bitmap and write those changes
to the image itself at once. This will be improved in next steps.

This patchset consists of not problematic part of the previous
patchset aka
   [PATCH v4 0/16] parallels format support improvements
and new write/create code but it does not contradict questionable code
with XML handling there.

Kevin, I would appreciate if you will quick look into proof-of-concept
patch aka
   [RFC PATCH 1/1] block/parallels: new concept for DiskDescriptor.xml
to validate that approach for DiskDescriptor.xml problem.

Changes from v1:
- patches 13-19 added, which boosts performance from 800 KiB/sec to
  near native performance

P.S. Should I add myself to MAINTAINERS of this driver?
