This series implements full image preallocation to create a non-sparse image
file at creation time, both for raw and qcow2 format. The purpose is to avoid
performance deterioration of the guest cause by sparse image.
v4: - remove bdrv_preallocate and make preallocation a bdrv_create_file option
- prealloc_mode -> PreallocMode and add it to QAPI
- fix return value in raw_preallocate2
Hu Tao (4):
qapi: introduce PreallocMode
raw,qcow2: don't convert file size to sector size
raw-posix: Add full image preallocation option
qcow2: Add full image preallocation option
