2008-12-04Use writeback caching by default with qcow2aliguori1-0/+6
qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use writeback caching by default with qcow2 files. It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort out the issues in qcow2.

Virtio-blk is a paravirtual block device based on VirtIO. It can be used by specifying the if=virtio parameter to the -drive parameter. When using -enable-kvm, it can achieve very good performance compared to IDE or SCSI.

2008-10-14Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by defaultaliguori1-1/+16
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity it not at all an issue. cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

2008-04-28add format= to drive options (CVE-2008-2004)aurel321-0/+4
It is possible for a guest with a raw formatted disk image to write a header to that disk image describing another format (such as qcow2). Stopping and subsequent restart of the guest will cause qemu to detect that format, and could allow the guest to read any host file if qemu is sufficiently privileged (typical in virt environments). The patch defaults to existing behaviour (probing based on file contents), so it still requires the mgmt app (e.g. libvirt xml) to pass a new "format=raw" parameter for raw disk images. Originally noted by Avi Kivity, patch from Chris Wright. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@4277 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
