[PATCHv2] Add unsafe cache mode support for disk driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.

  * Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
    as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't known if unsafe
    is supported.

  * qemuhelptest prints test case name on failure.

 Updated patch based on Osier Yang's comments and rebased it to 3abadf82
