  • Add host_device support to qemu-img. (Nolan Leake) ...
    93c65b47 
    This patch allows the use a host_device as the destination for "qemu-img
convert".

I added a ->bdrv_create function host_device.  It merely verifies that
the device exists and is large enough.

A check is needed in the qemu-img convert loop to ensure that we write
out all 0 sectors to the host_device.  Otherwise they end up with stale
garbage where all zero sectors were expected.

I also made the check against bdrv_is_allocated enabled for everything
_except_ host devices, since there is no point in making the block
backend write a bunch of zeros just so that we can memcmp them
immediately afterwards.  Host devices can't benefit from this because
there is no way to differentiate between a sector being unallocated
because it was never written, or because it was written with all zeros
and then made a trip through qemu-img convert.

Finally, there is an unrelated fix for a typo in the error message
printed if the destination device does not support ->bdrv_create.

  • Fix (at least one cause of) qcow2 corruption. (Nolan Leake) ...
    f8de1660 
    qcow2's get_cluster_offset() scans forward in the l2 table to find other
clusters that have the same allocation status as the first cluster.
This is used by (among others) qcow_is_allocated().

Unfortunately, it was not checking to be sure that it didn't fall off
the end of the l2 table.  This patch adds that check.

The symptom that motivated me to look into this was that
bdrv_is_allocated() was returning false when there was in fact data
there.  This is one of many ways this bug could lead to data corruption.

I checked the other place that scans for consecutive unallocated blocks
(alloc_cluster_offset()) and it appears to be OK:
    nb_clusters = MIN(nb_clusters, s->l2_size - l2_index);
appears to prevent the same problem from occurring.

  • Document QEMU coding style (v2) (Avi Kivity) ...
    e68b98dc 
    With the help of some Limoncino I noted several aspects of the QEMU coding
style, particularly where it differs from the Linux coding style as many
contributors work on both projects.

  • Fix oops on 2.6.25 guest (Rusty Russell) ...
    8eca6b1b 
    I believe this is behind the following:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/331128

virtio_pci in 2.6.25 didn't do feature negotiation correctly: it acked every
bit.  Fortunately, we can detect this.
