The main loop uses aio_disable_external()/aio_enable_external() to
temporarily disable processing of external AioContext clients like
device emulation.
This allows monitor commands to quiesce I/O and prevent the guest from
submitting new requests while a monitor command is in progress.
The aio_enable_external() API is currently broken when an IOThread is in
aio_poll() waiting for fd activity when the main loop re-enables
external clients. Incrementing ctx->external_disable_cnt does not wake
the IOThread from ppoll(2) so fd processing remains suspended and leads
to unresponsive emulated devices.
This patch adds an aio_notify() call to aio_enable_external() so the
IOThread is kicked out of ppoll(2) and will re-arm the file descriptors.
The bug can be reproduced as follows:
$ qemu -M accel=kvm -m 1024 \
-object iothread,id=iothread0 \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,iothread=iothread0,id=virtio-scsi-pci0 \
-drive if=none,id=drive0,aio=native,cache=none,format=raw,file=test.img \
-device scsi-hd,id=scsi-hd0,drive=drive0 \
-qmp tcp::5555,server,nowait
$ scripts/qmp/qmp-shell localhost:5555
(qemu) blockdev-snapshot-sync device=drive0 snapshot-file=sn1.qcow2
mode=absolute-paths format=qcow2
After blockdev-snapshot-sync completes the SCSI disk will be
unresponsive. This leads to request timeouts inside the guest.

We had some conflicting documentation: a nice 8-way table that
described all possible combinations of DATA, ZERO, and
OFFSET_VALID, contrasted with text that implied that OFFSET_VALID
always meant raw data could be read directly. Furthermore, the
text refers a lot to bs->file, even though the interface was
updated back in 67a0fd2a to let the driver pass back a specific
BDS (not necessarily bs->file). As the 8-way table is the
intended semantics, simplify the rest of the text to get rid of
the confusion.
ALLOCATED is always set by the block layer for convenience (drivers
do not have to worry about it). RAW is used only internally, but

A few block drivers will set the BDS read_only flag from their
.bdrv_open() function. This means the bs->read_only flag could
be set after we enable copy_on_read, as the BDRV_O_COPY_ON_READ
flag check occurs prior to the call to bdrv->bdrv_open().
This adds an error return to bdrv_set_read_only(), and an error will be
return if we try to set the BDS to read_only while copy_on_read is
enabled.
This patch also changes the behavior of vvfat. Before, vvfat could
override the drive 'readonly' flag with its own, internal 'rw' flag.
For instance, this -drive parameter would result in a writable image:
"-drive format=vvfat,dir=/tmp/vvfat,rw,if=virtio,readonly=on"
This is not correct. Now, attempting to use the above -drive parameter
will result in an error (i.e., 'rw' is incompatible with 'readonly=on').

During block job completion, nothing is preventing
block_job_defer_to_main_loop_bh from being called in a nested
aio_poll(), which is a trouble, such as in this code path:
qmp_block_commit
commit_active_start
bdrv_reopen
bdrv_reopen_multiple
bdrv_reopen_prepare
bdrv_flush
aio_poll
aio_bh_poll
aio_bh_call
block_job_defer_to_main_loop_bh
stream_complete
bdrv_reopen
block_job_defer_to_main_loop_bh is the last step of the stream job,
which should have been "paused" by the bdrv_drained_begin/end in
bdrv_reopen_multiple, but it is not done because it's in the form of a
main loop BH.
Similar to why block jobs should be paused between drained_begin and
drained_end, BHs they schedule must be excluded as well. To achieve
this, this patch forces draining the BH in BDRV_POLL_WHILE.
As a side effect this fixes a hang in block_job_detach_aio_context
during system_reset when a block job is ready:

The rationale is that the loop in block_job_detach_aio_context cannot
make any progress in pausing/completing the job, because bs->in_flight

BH. With this patch, it does.

Usually guest devices don't like other writers to the same image, so
they use blk_set_perm() to prevent this from happening. In the migration
phase before the VM is actually running, though, they don't have a
problem with writes to the image. On the other hand, storage migration
needs to be able to write to the image in this phase, so the restrictive
blk_set_perm() call of qdev devices breaks it.
This patch flags all BlockBackends with a qdev device as
blk->disable_perm during incoming migration, which means that the
requested permissions are stored in the BlockBackend, but not actually
applied to its root node yet.
Once migration has finished and the VM should be resumed, the
permissions are applied. If they cannot be applied (e.g. because the NBD
server used for block migration hasn't been shut down), resuming the VM
fails.

to get the resize permission.
We can't just always request it because that means that no block jobs

aio_co_wake provides the infrastructure to start a coroutine on a "home"
AioContext. It will be used by CoMutex and CoQueue, so that coroutines
don't jump from one context to another when they go to sleep on a
mutex or waitqueue. However, it can also be used as a more efficient
alternative to one-shot bottom halves, and saves the effort of tracking
which AioContext a coroutine is running on.
aio_co_schedule is the part of aio_co_wake that starts a coroutine
on a remove AioContext, but it is also useful to implement e.g.
bdrv_set_aio_context callbacks.
The implementation of aio_co_schedule is based on a lock-free
multiple-producer, single-consumer queue. The multiple producers use
cmpxchg to add to a LIFO stack. The consumer (a per-AioContext bottom
half) grabs all items added so far, inverts the list to make it FIFO,
and goes through it one item at a time until it's empty. The data
structure was inspired by OSv, which uses it in the very code we'll
"port" to QEMU for the thread-safe CoMutex.

introduced a routine to call the kernel BLKSECTGET ioctl, which stores the

on the routine handling the ioctl. The (compat_)blkdev_ioctl returns a
short, while sg_ioctl returns an int. Thus, on big-endian systems, we can
find ourselves accidentally shifting the result to a much larger value.
(On s390x, a short is 16 bits while an int is 32 bits.)
Also, the two ioctl handlers return values in different scales (block
returns sectors, while sg returns bytes), so some tweaking of the outputs
is required such that hdev_get_max_transfer_length returns a value in a
consistent set of units.
