[PATCH 5/9] kvm tools, qcow: Delayed L1 table writeout

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

 



This patch moves L1 table writeout to qcow_disk_flush(). The rationale here is
that while writes to clusters that don't have L2 table allocated on-disk are
volatile until VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH is issued, we never corrupt the disk image.
