2013-12-03raw-posix: add support for write_zeroes on XFS and block devicesPaolo Bonzini1-1/+2
The code is similar to the implementation of discard and write_zeroes with UNMAP. However, failure must be propagated up to block.c. The stale page cache problem can be reproduced as follows: # modprobe scsi-debug lbpws=1 lbprz=1 # ./qemu-io /dev/sdXX qemu-io> write -P 0xcc 0 2M qemu-io> write -z 0 1M qemu-io> read -P 0x00 0 512 Pattern verification failed at offset 0, 512 bytes qemu-io> read -v 0 512 00000000: cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc ................ ... # ./qemu-io --cache=none /dev/sdXX qemu-io> write -P 0xcc 0 2M qemu-io> write -z 0 1M qemu-io> read -P 0x00 0 512 qemu-io> read -v 0 512 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ ... And similarly with discard instead of "write -z". Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-01-15block: make discard asynchronousPaolo Bonzini1-1/+4
This is easy with the thread pool, because we can use s->is_xfs and s->has_discard from the worker function. QEMU has a widespread assumption that each I/O operation writes less than 2^32 bytes. This patch doesn't fix it throughout of course, but it starts correcting struct RawPosixAIOData so that there is no regression with respect to the synchronous discard implementation.

2012-10-31raw-win32: implement native asynchronous I/OPaolo Bonzini1-0/+10
With the new support for EventNotifiers in the AIO event loop, we can hook a completion port to every opened file and use asynchronous I/O on them. Wine's support is extremely inefficient, also because it really does the I/O synchronously on regular files. (!) But it works, and it is good to keep the Win32 and POSIX ports as similar as possible.
