[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for 2.6 0/3] Bitmap clean-up patches for 2.6

2015-11-20 Thread Fam Zheng
This makes a cleaner base for more dirty bitmap work. "granularity" appearing
with different representations have always been mind twisting, remove it from
HBitmap to make the interface and implementation simpler. Upon this, it is
a bit easier to add persistent dirty bitmap functionalities.

Block dirty bitmap is not unit-tested, so the removal of HBitmap test code
looks like a loss, but the overall test coverage is barely affected as we also
have various mirror, commit and backup iotest cases, and they do catch various
bugs when I wrote the patches.

Please review!

Hi Fam!

Thanks for it, I really like the idea about dropping granularity from 
hbitmap. I've waste lots of time understanding the code about bitmaps. 
Keeping in mind what units are in what granularity and what granularity 
is in what units is more than inconvenient)
