[Libguestfs] [PATCH v3 0/4] file: Zero for block devices and older file systems
This version addresses some of the comments on v2. Changes since v2: - file_zero: Add missing space in function call - is_aligned: Assert that align is indeed a power of 2 - Spelling in commit message Not changed: - Eric commented that spacing was off: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-August/msg00113.html but I could not find anything wrong. - Eric asked if ioctl.h will cause grief on BSD compilation: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-August/msg00116.html I tested with FreeBSD 11.0 and 10.3 and there is no issue. I also look at NetBSD and OpenBSD source, and in alll ioctl() is defined in ioctl.h. v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-August/msg00041.html Nir Soffer (4): file: Avoid unsupported fallocate() calls file: Support zero without ZERO_RANGE common: Add isaligned helper module file: Zero for block devices on old kernels common/include/isaligned.h | 51 +++++++++++ plugins/file/Makefile.am | 3 +- plugins/file/file.c | 182 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 3 files changed, 197 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) create mode 100644 common/include/isaligned.h -- 2.17.1

[Libguestfs] [PATCH v3 1/4] file: Avoid unsupported fallocate() calls
When using file systems not supporting ZERO_RANGE (e.g. NFS 4.2) or block device on kernel < 4.9, we used to call fallocate() for every zero, fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and fallback to manual zeroing. When trimming, we used to try unsupported fallocate() on every call. Change file handle to remember if punching holes or zeroing range are supported, and avoid unsupported calls. - zero changed to: 1. If we can punch hole and may trim, try PUNCH_HOLE 2. If we can zero range, try ZERO_RANGE 3. Fall back to manual writing - trim changed to: 1. If we can punch hole, try PUNCH_HOLE 2.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH v3 2/4] file: Support zero without ZERO_RANGE
File systems not supporting FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE yet fall back to manual zeroing. We can avoid this by combining two fallocate calls: fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) fallocate(0) Based on my tests this is much more efficient compared to manual zeroing. The idea came from this qemu patch: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/1cdc3239f1bb Here is an example run with NFS 4.2 without this change, converting fedora 27 image created with virt-builder: $ export SOCK=/tmp/nbd.sock $ export FILE=/nfs-mount/fedora-27.img $ src/nbdkit plugins/file/.libs/nbdkit-file-plugin.so file=$FILE -U $SOCK $ time qemu-img convert -n -f raw -O raw /var/tmp/fedora-27.img nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd.sock real 0m17.481s user 0m0.199s sys 0m0.691s $ time qemu-img convert -n -f raw -O raw -W /var/tmp/fedora-27.img nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd.sock real 0m17.072s user 0m0.191s sys 0m0.738s With this change: $ time qemu-img convert -n -f raw -O raw /var/tmp/fedora-27.img nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd.sock real 0m6.285s user 0m0.217s sys 0m0.829s $ time qemu-img convert -n -f raw -O raw -W /var/tmp/fedora-27.img nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd.sock real 0m3.967s user 0m0.193s sys 0m0.702s Note: the image is sparse, but nbdkit creates a fully allocated image.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH v3 4/4] file: Zero for block devices on old kernels
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE) is supported for block devices with modern kernel, but when it is not, we fall back to manual zeroing.

I think we should return 0 or return -1 as appropriate. It seems clearer to me and has less risk of going wrong in future if we rearrange the code.
