Subject: Create raw storage files with O_DSYNC
X-Git-Tag: v0.7.7~212
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a82a87f26b0a6bacb53f3c7cd200a86a026ab6df;p=thirdparty%2Flibvirt.git

Create raw storage files with O_DSYNC

When creating preallocated large raw files opening them with O_DSYNC
prevents long delays in reading because cache pages can be immediately
reused without writing them on a disk first.
