From 3e4c705212abfe8c9882a00beb2d1466a8a53cec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2017 14:55:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] qcow2: allocate cluster_cache/cluster_data on demand Most qcow2 files are uncompressed so it is wasteful to allocate (32 + 1) * cluster_size + 512 bytes upfront. Allocate s->cluster_cache and s->cluster_data when the first read operation is performance on a compressed cluster. The buffers are freed in .bdrv_close(). .bdrv_open() no longer has any code paths that can allocate these buffers, so remove the free functions in the error code path. This patch can result in significant memory savings when many qcow2 disks are attached or backing file chains are long: Before 12.81% (1,023,193,088B) After 5.36% (393,893,888B) Reported-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy Tested-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy Reviewed-by: Eric Blake Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi Message-id: 20170821135530.32344-1-stefanha@redhat.com Cc: Kevin Wolf Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi --- block/qcow2-cluster.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ block/qcow2.c | 12 ------------ 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/block/qcow2-cluster.c b/block/qcow2-cluster.c index f06c08f64c..8538533102 100644 --- a/block/qcow2-cluster.c +++ b/block/qcow2-cluster.c @@ -1516,6 +1516,23 @@ int qcow2_decompress_cluster(BlockDriverState *bs, uint64_t cluster_offset) nb_csectors = ((cluster_offset >> s->csize_shift) & s->csize_mask) + 1; sector_offset = coffset & 511; csize = nb_csectors * 512 - sector_offset; + + /* Allocate buffers on first decompress operation, most images are + * uncompressed and the memory overhead can be avoided.
