Hi
In upstream qemu.git:
commit 0aa217e46124e873f75501f7187657e063f5903b

qcow2: Make cache=writethrough default
The performance of qcow2 has improved meanwhile, so we don't need to
special-case it any more. Switch the default to write-through caching
like all other block drivers.

You can pass cache=writeback to get the old behavior, but it's a bit
unsafe: even if the guest believes some I/O have hit the disk, they
might still be in caches on the host.
