[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-img: let qemu-img behave as the manual advertise |

From: Liu Yuan <address@hidden>
The 'qemu-img convert -h' advertise that the default cache mode is
'writeback', while in fact it is 'unsafe'.
This patch 1) changes the cache mode as 'writeback' and 2) explicitly
calls bdrv_flush() to flush the dirty bits.
2) is needed because some backend storage doesn't have a self-flush
mechanism(for e.g., sheepdog), so we need to call bdrv_flush() to make
sure the image is really writen to the storage instead of hanging around
writeback cache forever.
