Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/17] block: Convert .bdrv_read/write to .bdrv_preadv/pwritev
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 11:52:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461750767-23273-1-git-send-email-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)

This series introduces a new BlockDriver interface, which will hopefully be the
final one, or at least good enough for another few years: .bdrv_preadv/pwritev.
It is based on coroutines, vectored, has flags and uses a byte granularity.
This is now the preferred interface for new drivers.

All drivers still using the legacy interface .bdrv_read/write are converted to
the new interface and the emulation code we had for the old interface is
removed. Most of the drivers become zero-copy with these patches as they are
vectored now; only vvfat continues to allocate a bounce buffer.

The less obscure formats (vmdk, vdi, vpc) also natively support byte-aligned
requests now. The block layer is still enforcing a minimal alignment of 512, so
this isn't actually used yet, but in a next step, we can lift this restriction
for drivers that implement .bdrv_preadv/pwritev.
