This patchset provides an ability to create of/write to Parallels
images and some testing of the new code. Readings and writings are
optimized out and I expect the same or slightly better performance
as qcow2.
Changes from v4:
- parallels format driver marked as bdrv_has_zero_init_1
- added missed unlocks to parallels_co_readv/writev on error path, locking
is shortened and simplified
- changed test number for created images
- added check for bdrv_has_zero_init() and availability of bdrv_truncate()
in parallels_open() and proper error handling in alloc_cluster
- some patch comments are improved
Changes from v3:
- fixed checkpatch warnings even in just moved code. I am tired of them
- fixed contingency check in patch 18
Changes from v2:
- read performance is almost doubled (up to 360 Mb/sec), write performance
is improved by 15-20%
- bat caching approach changed completely. bat_bitmap now contains the data
in on-disk format, which allows to use this data for metadata cache
- incorrect close detection code is added (inuse field in the header)
- very basic check consistency code added
Changes from v1:
- patches 13-19 added, which boosts performance from 800 KiB/sec to
near native performance
