BlockDriver->bdrv_create() has been called from coroutine context since
commit 5b7e1542cf ("block: make
bdrv_create adopt coroutine").
Make this explicit by renaming to .bdrv_co_create_opts() and add the
coroutine_fn annotation. This makes it obvious to block driver authors
that they may yield, use CoMutex, or other coroutine_fn APIs.
bdrv_co_create is reserved for the QAPI-based version that Kevin is
working on.

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Update the file protocol driver accordingly.
In want_zero mode, we continue to report fine-grained hole
information (the caller wants as much mapping detail as possible);
but when not in that mode, the caller prefers larger *pnum and
merely cares about what offsets are allocated at this layer, rather
than where the holes live. Since holes still read as zeroes at
this layer (rather than deferring to a backing layer), we can take
the shortcut of skipping lseek(), and merely state that all bytes
are allocated.
We can also drop redundant bounds checks that are already
guaranteed by the block layer.

We don't need the can_write_zeroes_with_unmap field in
BlockDriverInfo, because it is redundant information with
supported_zero_flags & BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP. Note that
BlockDriverInfo and supported_zero_flags are both per-device
settings, rather than global state about the driver as a
whole, which means one or both of these bits of information
can already be conditional. Let's audit how they were set:
crypto: always setting can_write_ to false is pointless (the
struct starts life zero-initialized), no use of supported_
nbd: just recently fixed to set can_write_ if supported_
includes MAY_UNMAP (thus this commit effectively reverts
bca80059e and solves the problem mentioned there in a more
global way)
file-posix, iscsi, qcow2: can_write_ is conditional, while
supported_ was unconditional; but passing MAY_UNMAP would
fail with ENOTSUP if the condition wasn't met
qed: can_write_ is unconditional, but pwrite_zeroes lacks
support for MAY_UNMAP and supported_ is not set. Perhaps
support can be added later (since it would be similar to
qcow2), but for now claiming false is no real loss
all other drivers: can_write_ is not set, and supported_ is
either unset or a passthrough
Simplify the code by moving the conditional into
supported_zero_flags for all drivers, then dropping the
now-unused BDI field. For callers that relied on
bdrv_can_write_zeroes_with_unmap(), we return the same
per-device settings for drivers that had conditions (no
observable change in behavior there); and can now return
true (instead of false) for drivers that support passthrough
(for example, the commit driver) which gives those drivers
the same fix as nbd just got in bca80059e. For callers that
relied on supported_zero_flags, we now have a few more places
that can avoid a wasted call to pwrite_zeroes() that will
just fail with ENOTSUP.

It is a common requirement for virtual machine to send persistent
reservations, but this currently requires either running QEMU with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO, or using out-of-tree patches that let an unprivileged
QEMU bypass Linux's filter on SG_IO commands.
As an alternative mechanism, the next patches will introduce a
privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands without
expanding QEMU's attack surface unnecessarily.
The helper is invoked through a "pr-manager" QOM object, to which
file-posix.c passes SG_IO requests for PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT and
PERSISTENT RESERVE IN commands. For example:
$ qemu-system-x86_64
-device virtio-scsi \
-object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock
-drive if=none,id=hd,driver=raw,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0
-device scsi-block,drive=hd
or:
$ qemu-system-x86_64
-device virtio-scsi \
-object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock
-blockdev node-name=hd,driver=raw,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0
-device scsi-block,drive=hd
Multiple pr-manager implementations are conceivable and possible, though
only one is implemented right now. For example, a pr-manager could:
- talk directly to the multipath daemon from a privileged QEMU
(i.e. QEMU links to libmpathpersist); this makes reservation work
properly with multipath, but still requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO
- use the Linux IOC_PR_* ioctls (they require CAP_SYS_ADMIN though)
- more interestingly, implement reservations directly in QEMU
through file system locks or a shared database (e.g. sqlite)

The file drivers' *_parse_filename() implementations just strip the
optional protocol prefix off the filename. However, for e.g.
"file:foo:bar", this would lead to "foo:bar" being stored as the BDS's
filename which looks like it should be managed using the "foo" protocol.
This is especially troublesome if you then try to resolve a backing
filename based on "foo:bar".
This issue can only occur if the stripped part is a relative filename
("file:/foo:bar" will be shortened to "/foo:bar" and having a slash
before the first colon means that "/foo" is not recognized as a protocol
part). Therefore, we can easily fix it by prepending "./" to such
filenames.

-blockdev and blockdev_add convert their arguments via QObject to
BlockdevOptions for qmp_blockdev_add(), which converts them back to
QObject, then to a flattened QDict. The QDict's members are typed
according to the QAPI schema.
-drive converts its argument via QemuOpts to a (flat) QDict. This
QDict's members are all QString.
Thus, the QType of a flat QDict member depends on whether it comes
from -drive or -blockdev/blockdev_add, except when the QAPI type maps
to QString, which is the case for 'str' and enumeration types.
The block layer core extracts generic configuration from the flat
QDict, and the block driver extracts driver-specific configuration.
Both commonly do so by converting (parts of) the flat QDict to
QemuOpts, which turns all values into strings. Not exactly elegant,
but correct.
However, A few places access the flat QDict directly:
* Most of them access members that are always QString. Correct.
* bdrv_open_inherit() accesses a boolean, carefully. Correct.
* nfs_config() uses a QObject input visitor. Correct only because the
visited type contains nothing but QStrings.
* nbd_config() and ssh_config() use a QObject input visitor, and the
visited types contain non-QStrings: InetSocketAddress members
@numeric, @to, @ipv4, @ipv6. -drive works as long as you don't try

-drive driver=nbd,server.type=inet,server.data.host=h,server.data.port=22,server.data.ipv4
both fail with "Invalid parameter type for 'data.ipv4', expected: boolean"

BlockLimits.max_transfer can be too high without this fix, guest will
encounter I/O error or even get paused with werror=stop or rerror=stop. The
cause is explained below.
Linux has a separate limit, /sys/block/.../queue/max_segments, which in
the worst case can be more restrictive than the BLKSECTGET which we
already consider (note that they are two different things). So, the
failure scenario before this patch is:
1) host device has max_sectors_kb = 4096 and max_segments = 64;
2) guest learns max_sectors_kb limit from QEMU, but doesn't know
max_segments;
3) guest issues e.g. a 512KB request thinking it's okay, but actually
it's not, because it will be passed through to host device as an
SG_IO req that has niov > 64;
4) host kernel doesn't like the segmenting of the request, and returns
-EINVAL;
This patch checks the max_segments sysfs entry for the host device and
calculates a "conservative" bytes limit using the page size, which is
then merged into the existing max_transfer limit. Guest will discover
this from the usual virtual block device interfaces. (In the case of
scsi-generic, it will be done in the INQUIRY reply interception in
device model.)
The other possibility is to actually propagate it as a separate limit,
but it's not better. On the one hand, there is a big complication: the
limit is per-LUN in QEMU PoV (because we can attach LUNs from different
host HBAs to the same virtio-scsi bus), but the channel to communicate
it in a per-LUN manner is missing down the stack; on the other hand,
two limits versus one doesn't change much about the valid size of I/O
(because guest has no control over host segmenting).
Also, the idea to fall back to bounce buffering in QEMU, upon -EINVAL,
was explored. Unfortunately there is no neat way to ensure the bounce
buffer is less segmented (in terms of DMA addr) than the guest buffer.
Practically, this bug is not very common. It is only reported on a
Emulex (lpfc), so it's okay to get it fixed in the easier way.

Running with strace we can see that without this change we do one
pread() and one pwrite() for each block. With this change, we do only
one pwrite() per block.
$ strace ./qemu-img-master create -f raw -o preallocation=falloc mnt/test 8192
...
pread64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pread64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
$ strace ./qemu-img-fix create -f raw -o preallocation=falloc mnt/test 8192
...
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
This happens because posix_fallocate is checking if each block is
allocated before writing a byte to the block, and when truncating the
file before preallocation, all blocks are unallocated.

We can get the maximum number of bytes for a single I/O transfer
from the BLKSECTGET ioctl, but we only perform this for block
devices. scsi-generic devices are represented as character devices,
and so do not issue this today. Update this, so that virtio-scsi
devices using the scsi-generic interface can return the same data.

Commit 6f6071745b ("raw-posix: Fetch max sectors for host block device")
introduced a routine to call the kernel BLKSECTGET ioctl, which stores the
result back to user space. However, the size of the data returned depends
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.

These files deal with the file protocol, not the raw format (the
file protocol is often used with other formats, and the raw
format is not forced to use the file protocol). Rename things
to make it a bit easier to follow.
