The current implementation of alloc_refcount_block and grow_refcount_table has
fundamental problems regarding error handling. There are some places where an
I/O error means that the image is going to be corrupted. I have found that the
only way to fix this is to completely rewrite the thing.
Just sending as an RFC to the list hasn't generated a lot of comments (to be
precise, not a single one). This is a critical part of qcow2 and needs reviews.
So let's try it another way: People in CC, please give it a review. Sooner or
later some of you will need to do so anyway.
Kevin Wolf (3):
qcow2: Factor next_refcount_table_size out
qcow2: Rewrite alloc_refcount_block/grow_refcount_table
qcow2: More check for qemu-img check
