[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] sheepdog: implement direct write semantics

[Liu Yuan]

From: Liu Yuan <address@hidden>

Sheepdog supports both writeback/writethrough write but has not yet supported
DIRECTIO semantics which bypass the cache completely even if Sheepdog daemon is
set up with cache enabled.

Suppose cache is enabled on Sheepdog daemon size, the new cache control is

cache=writeback # enable the writeback semantics for write
cache=writethrough # enable the emulated writethrough semantics for write
cache=directsync # disable cache competely

Guest WCE toggling on the run time to toggle writeback/writethrough is also
supported.
