Subject: [PATCH 0/6] vmdk: Fix zero cluster handling
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 15:30:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200430133007.170335-1-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)

What I was really investigating is why 055 was so slow. I couldn't solve
that, but instead I found out that our VMDK code for zero clusters and
write_zeroes was completely broken. Apart from segfaults when zero
clusters were actually enabled, this caused a compressed backup target
to result in a bigger file than uncompressed with VMDK.

This series tries to fix it (with one bonus performance patch).

Kevin Wolf (6):
  vmdk: Rename VmdkMetaData.valid to new_allocation
  vmdk: Fix zero cluster allocation
  vmdk: Fix partial overwrite of zero cluster
  vmdk: Don't update L2 table for zero write on zero cluster
  vmdk: Flush only once in vmdk_L2update()
  iotests: vmdk: Enable zeroed_grained=on by default
