[libvirt] [PATCH v4] Add new attribute wrpolicy to <driver> element
Deepak C Shetty
deepakcs at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Jan 17 12:44:18 UTC 2012
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

v2:
- added writeout as a qemu cap
- cosmetic changes in comments
- moved to using VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED
- corrected doc
v3:
- changed attr name from writeout to wrpolicy
- moved attr to be part of driver xml element
v4:
- implemented review comments given by eric blake against v3
- added wrpolicy testcase
