[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv4] block: optimize zero writes with bdrv_write_zeroes

2014-05-08 Thread Peter Lieven
this patch tries to optimize zero write requests by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is supported by the format. This significantly speeds up file system initialization and should speed zero write test used to test backend storage performance. I ran the following 2 tests on my internal
