Subject: qemu-img: conditionally zero out target on convert
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a37b60a61c4c334e3b194758871f41494317d42;p=qemu.git

qemu-img: conditionally zero out target on convert

If the target has_zero_init = 0, but supports efficiently
writing zeroes by unmapping we call bdrv_make_zero to
avoid fully allocating the target. This currently works
only for iscsi.  It can be extended to raw with
BLKDISCARDZEROES for example.
