v24:
   01: add "compression_type" to the tests output [Max]
       hopefully, I've found them all.

v23:
   Undecided: whether to add zstd(zlib) compression
              details to the qcow2 spec
   03: tighten assertion on zstd decompression [Eric]

   04:
       * don't erase user's options [Max]
       * use _rm_test_img [Max]
       * add unsupported qcow2 options [Max]

v20:
   04: fix a number of flaws [Vladimir]
       * don't use $RAND_FILE passing to qemu-io,
         so check $TEST_DIR is redundant
       * re-arrage $RAND_FILE writing
       * fix a typo

v19:
   04: fix a number of flaws [Eric]
       * remove rudundant test case descriptions
       * fix stdout redirect
       * don't use (())
       * use peek_file_be instead of od
       * check $TEST_DIR for spaces and other before using
       * use $RAND_FILE safer

v18:
   * 04: add quotes to all file name variables [Vladimir] 
   * 04: add Vladimir's comment according to "qemu-io write -s"
         option issue.

v17:
   * 03: remove incorrect comment in zstd decompress [Vladimir]
   * 03: remove "paraniod" and rewrite the comment on decompress [Vladimir]
   * 03: fix dead assignment [Vladimir]
   * 04: add and remove quotes [Vladimir]
   * 04: replace long offset form with the short one [Vladimir]

v16:
   * 03: ssize_t for ret, size_t for zstd_ret [Vladimir]
   * 04: small fixes according to the comments [Vladimir] 

v15:
   * 01: aiming qemu 5.1 [Eric]
   * 03: change zstd_res definition place [Vladimir]

         1. test adjacent cluster compression with zstd
         2. test incompressible cluster processing
   * 03, 04: many rewording and gramma fixing [Eric]

v14:
   * fix bug on compression - looping until compress == 0 [Me]
   * apply reworked Vladimir's suggestions:
      1. not mixing ssize_t with size_t
      2. safe check for ENOMEM in compression part - avoid overflow
      3. tolerate sanity check allow zstd to make progress only
         on one of the buffers
v13:
   * 03: add progress sanity check to decompression loop [Vladimir]

         No need to state a special cluster layout for zstd
         compressed clusters.
v7:
   * use qapi_enum_parse instead of the open-coding [Eric]
   * fix wording, typos and spelling [Eric]

v6:
   * "block/qcow2-threads: fix qcow2_decompress" is removed from the series
      since it has been accepted by Max already
   * add compile time checking for Qcow2Header to be a multiple of 8 [Max, Alberto]

   * 01 is just a no-change resend to avoid extra dependencies. Still, it may be merged in separate

v3:
   * remove redundant max compression type value check [Vladimir, Eric]
     (the switch below checks everything)

v1:
   the initial series


Denis Plotnikov (4):
  qcow2: introduce compression type feature

  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: kwolf, vsementsov, berto, qemu-block, armbru, mreitz, den

The patch adds some preparation parts for incompatible compression type
feature to qcow2 allowing the use different compression methods for
image clusters (de)compressing.

It is implied that the compression type is set on the image creation and
can be changed only later by image conversion, thus compression type
defines the only compression algorithm used for the image, and thus,
for all image clusters.

The goal of the feature is to add support of other compression methods
to qcow2. For example, ZSTD which is more effective on compression than ZLIB.

The default compression is ZLIB. Images created with ZLIB compression type
are backward compatible with older qemu versions.

Adding of the compression type breaks a number of tests because now the
compression type is reported on image creation and there are some changes
in the qcow2 header in size and offsets.

The tests are fixed in the following ways:
    * filter out compression_type for many tests
    * fix header size, feature table size and backing file offset
      affected tests: 031, 036, 061, 080
      header_size +=8: 1 byte compression type
                       7 bytes padding
      feature_table += 48: incompatible feature compression type
      backing_file_offset += 56 (8 + 48 -> header_change + feature_table_change)
    * add "compression type" for test output matching when it isn't filtered
      affected tests: 049, 060, 061, 065, 082, 085, 144, 182, 185, 198, 206,
                      242, 255, 274, 280

From: Denis Plotnikov @ 2020-05-07  8:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: kwolf, vsementsov, berto, qemu-block, armbru, mreitz, den

The patch enables processing the image compression type defined
for the image and chooses an appropriate method for image clusters
(de)compression.

zstd significantly reduces cluster compression time.
It provides better compression performance maintaining
the same level of the compression ratio in comparison with
zlib, which, at the moment, is the only compression
method available.

The performance test results:
Test compresses and decompresses qemu qcow2 image with just
installed rhel-7.6 guest.
Image cluster size: 64K. Image on disk size: 2.2G

The test was conducted with brd disk to reduce the influence
of disk subsystem to the test results.
The results is given in seconds.

compress cmd:
  time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c -o compression_type=[zlib|zstd]
                  src.img [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img
decompress cmd
  time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2
                  [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img uncompressed.img

           compression               decompression
         zlib       zstd           zlib         zstd
------------------------------------------------------------
real     65.5       16.3 (-75 %)    1.9          1.6 (-16 %)
user     65.0       15.8            5.3          2.5
sys       3.3        0.2            2.0          2.0

Both ZLIB and ZSTD gave the same compression ratio: 1.57
compressed image size in both cases: 1.4G
