From b3cf1c7cf8714af96def49668a267fa4075242ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alberto Garcia Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 16:40:06 +0300 Subject: qcow2: Allow reading both COW regions with only one request Reading both COW regions requires two separate requests, but it's perfectly possible to merge them and perform only one. This generally improves performance, particularly on rotating disk drives. The downside is that the data in the middle region is read but discarded. This patch takes a conservative approach and only merges reads when the size of the middle region is <= 16KB.
