Subject: [PATCH] cache, cow: Add blk_read_multiple function
Currently the cache and cow filters break up large requests into many
single block-sized requests to the underlying plugin. For some
plugins (eg. curl) this is very inefficient and causes huge
slow-downs.
For example I tested nbdkit + curl vs nbdkit + cache + curl against a
slow, remote VMware server. A simple run of virt-inspector was at
least 6-7 times slower with the cache filter. (It was so slow that I
didn't actually let it run to completion - I am estimating the
slowdown multiple using interim debug messages).
Implement a new blk_read_multiple function in the cache filter. It
does not break up "runs" of blocks which all have the same cache
state. The cache .pread method uses the new function to read the
block-aligned part of the request.
(cherry picked from commit ab661ccef5b3369fa22c33d0289baddc251b73bf)
