[Qemu-devel] [RFC 1/1] qcow2: add ZSTD compression feature

2017-03-23 Thread Denis V. Lunev
ZSDT compression algorithm consumes 3-5 times less CPU power with a comparable comression ratio with zlib. It would be wise to use it for data compression f.e. for backups. The patch adds incompatible ZSDT feature into QCOW2 header that indicates that compressed clusters must be decoded using ZSTD
