Subject: qcow2: Avoid COW during metadata preallocation
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f29fbf7c6b1c9a84f6931c1c222716fbe073e6e4;p=qmiga%2Fqemu.git

qcow2: Avoid COW during metadata preallocation

Limiting the allocation to INT_MAX bytes isn't particularly clever
because it means that the final cluster will be a partial cluster which
will be completed through a COW operation. This results in unnecessary
data read and write requests which lead to an unwanted non-sparse
filesystem block for metadata preallocation.

Align the maximum allocation size down to the cluster size to avoid this
situation.
