Currently, the block layer assumes that any block node can have only one
parent, and if it has a parent, that it inherits some options/flags from
this parent.
This is not true any more: With references used in block device
creation, a single node can be used by multiple parents, or it can be
created separately and not inherit flags from any parent.
To handle reopens correctly, a node must know from which parent it
inherited options. This patch adds the information to BlockDriverState.

This allows iterating over all children of a given BDS, not only
including bs->file and bs->backing_hd, but also driver-specific
ones like VMDK extents or Quorum children.
For bdrv_swap(), the list of children of the swapped BDS stays at that
BDS (because that's where the pointers stay as well). The list head
moves and pointers to it must be fixed up therefore.
The list of children in the parent of the swapped BDS is not affected by
the swap. The contents of the BDS objects is swapped, so the existing
pointer in the parent automatically points to the newly swapped in BDS.

The throttle group support use a cooperative round robin scheduling
algorithm.
The principles of the algorithm are simple:
- Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way.
- The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right
timer.
- If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token
will become the next active BDS.

The patch introduces new concept: minimal memory alignment for bounce
buffers. Original so called "optimal" value is actually minimal required
value for aligment. It should be used for validation that the IOVec
is properly aligned and bounce buffer is not required.
Though, from the performance point of view, it would be better if
bounce buffer or IOVec allocated by QEMU will be aligned stricter.
The patch does not change any alignment value yet.

Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive
use of thin-provisioned disk images.
To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets
a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation
of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold
is reached or exceeded.
In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but
aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command.
This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale:
deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare.
To fix this, this patch adds:
* A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for
a given block device.
* A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device
usage exceeds the threshold.
* A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure,
to report the configured threshold.
This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more
efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.

property. --Stefan]

The string field entries 'filename', 'backing_file', and
'exact_filename' in the BlockDriverState struct are defined as 1024
bytes.
However, many places that use these values accept a maximum of PATH_MAX
bytes, so we have a mixture of 1024 byte and PATH_MAX byte allocations.
This patch makes the BlockDriverStruct field string sizes match usage.
This patch also does a few fixes related to the size that needs to
happen now:
* the block qapi driver is updated to use PATH_MAX bytes
* the qcow and qcow2 drivers have an additional safety check
* the block vvfat driver is updated to use PATH_MAX bytes
for the size of backing_file, for systems where PATH_MAX is < 1024
bytes.
* qemu-img uses PATH_MAX rather than 1024. These instances were not
changed to be dynamically allocated, however, as the extra
temporary 3K in stack usage for qemu-img does not seem worrisome.

If the user neglects to specify the image format, QEMU probes the
image to guess it automatically, for convenience.
Relying on format probing is insecure for raw images (CVE-2008-2004).
If the guest writes a suitable header to the device, the next probe
will recognize a format chosen by the guest. A malicious guest can
abuse this to gain access to host files, e.g. by crafting a QCOW2
header with backing file /etc/shadow.
Commit 1e72d3b (April 2008) provided -drive parameter format to let
users disable probing. Commit f965509 (March 2009) extended QCOW2 to
optionally store the backing file format, to let users disable backing
file probing. QED has had a flag to suppress probing since the
beginning (2010), set whenever a raw backing file is assigned.
All of these additions that allow to avoid format probing have to be
specified explicitly. The default still allows the attack.
In order to fix this, commit 79368c8 (July 2010) put probed raw images
in a restricted mode, in which they wouldn't be able to overwrite the
first few bytes of the image so that they would identify as a different
image. If a write to the first sector would write one of the signatures
of another driver, qemu would instead zero out the first four bytes.
This patch was later reverted in commit 8b33d9e (September 2010) because
it didn't get the handling of unaligned qiov members right.
Today's block layer that is based on coroutines and has qiov utility
functions makes it much easier to get this functionality right, so this
patch implements it.
The other differences of this patch to the old one are that it doesn't
silently write something different than the guest requested by zeroing
out some bytes (it fails the request instead) and that it doesn't
maintain a list of signatures in the raw driver (it calls the usual
probe function instead).
Note that this change doesn't introduce new breakage for false positive
cases where the guest legitimately writes data into the first sector
that matches the signatures of an image format (e.g. for nested virt):
These cases were broken before, only the failure mode changes from
corruption after the next restart (when the wrong format is probed) to
failing the problematic write request.
Also note that like in the original patch, the restrictions only apply
if the image format has been guessed by probing. Explicitly specifying a
format allows guests to write anything they like.

Depending on the changed options and the image format,
bdrv_amend_options() may take a significant amount of time. In these
cases, a way to be informed about the operation's status is desirable.
Since the operation is rather complex and may fundamentally change the
image, implementing it as AIO or a coroutine does not seem feasible. On
the other hand, implementing it as a block job would be significantly
more difficult than a simple callback and would not add benefits other
than progress report to the amending operation, because it should not
actually be run as a block job at all.
A callback may not be very pretty, but it's very easy to implement and
perfectly fits its purpose here.

Some block devices may not have a filename in their BDS; and for some,
there may not even be a normal filename at all. To work around this, add
a function which tries to construct a valid filename for the
BDS.filename field.
If a filename exists or a block driver is able to reconstruct a valid
filename (which is placed in BDS.exact_filename), this can directly be
used.
If no filename can be constructed, we can still construct an options
QDict which is then converted to a JSON object and prefixed with the
"json:" pseudo protocol prefix. The QDict is placed in
BDS.full_open_options.
For most block drivers, this process can be done automatically; those
that need special handling may define a .bdrv_refresh_filename() method
to fill BDS.exact_filename and BDS.full_open_options themselves.

On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block commit.
For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.
In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.
With this extension to the block-commit api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing
file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image
to modify in that case).
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to
newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance.
Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad
performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW
per file.
For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.
But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.

Since we parse backing.* options to add a backing file from the command
line when the driver didn't assign one, it has been possible to have a
backing file for e.g. raw images (it just was never accessed).
This is obvious nonsense and should be rejected.

Change block layer to support both QemuOpts and QEMUOptionParameter.
After this patch, it will change backend drivers one by one. At the end,
QEMUOptionParameter will be removed and only QemuOpts is kept.

block_int.h is for block layer and block drivers, other code shouldn't
include it. But similar to bdrv_set_aio_context, bdrv_get_aio_context
should also be accessible from outside of block layer.
Move it.

Up until now all BlockDriverState instances have used the QEMU main loop
for fd handlers, timers, and BHs. This is not scalable on SMP guests
and hosts so we need to move to a model with multiple event loops on
different host CPUs.
bdrv_set_aio_context() assigns the AioContext event loop to use for a
particular BlockDriverState. It first detaches the entire
BlockDriverState graph from the current AioContext and then attaches to
the new AioContext.
This function will be used by virtio-blk data-plane to assign a
BlockDriverState to its IOThread AioContext. Make
bdrv_aio_set_context() public since data-plane should not include
block_int.h.

This makes use of op_blocker and blocks all the operations except for
commit target, on each BlockDriverState->backing_hd.
The asserts for op_blocker in bdrv_swap are removed because with this
change, the target of block commit has at least the backing blocker of
its child, so the assertion is not true. Callers should do their check.

This drops BlockDriverState.in_use with op_blockers:
- Call bdrv_op_block_all in place of bdrv_set_in_use(bs, 1).
- Call bdrv_op_unblock_all in place of bdrv_set_in_use(bs, 0).
- Check bdrv_op_is_blocked() in place of bdrv_in_use(bs).
The specific types are used, e.g. in place of starting block backup,
bdrv_op_is_blocked(bs, BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP, ...).
There is one exception in block_job_create, where
bdrv_op_blocker_is_empty() is used, because we don't know the operation
type here. This doesn't matter because in a few commits away we will drop
the check and move it to callers that _do_ know the type.
- Check bdrv_op_blocker_is_empty() in place of assert(!bs->in_use).
Note: there is only bdrv_op_block_all and bdrv_op_unblock_all callers at
this moment. So although the checks are specific to op types, this
changes can still be seen as identical logic with previously with
in_use. The difference is error message are improved because of blocker
error info.

BlockDriverState.op_blockers is an array of lists with BLOCK_OP_TYPE_MAX
elements. Each list is a list of blockers of an operation type
(BlockOpType), that marks this BDS as currently blocked for a certain
type of operation with reason errors stored in the list. The rule of
usage is:
* BDS user who wants to take an operation should check if there's any
blocker of the type with bdrv_op_is_blocked().
* BDS user who wants to block certain types of operation, should call
bdrv_op_block (or bdrv_op_block_all to block all types of operations,
which is similar to the existing bdrv_set_in_use()).
* A blocker is only referenced by op_blockers, so the lifecycle is
managed by caller, and shouldn't be lost until unblock, so typically
a caller does these:
- Allocate a blocker with error_setg or similar, call bdrv_op_block()
to block some operations.
- Hold the blocker, do his job.
- Unblock operations that it blocked, with the same reason pointer
passed to bdrv_op_unblock().
- Release the blocker with error_free().

this patch tries to optimize zero write requests
by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is
supported by the format.
This significantly speeds up file system initialization and
should speed zero write test used to test backend storage
performance.
I ran the following 2 tests on my internal SSD with a
50G QCOW2 container and on an attached iSCSI storage.
a) mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdX

* The storage was connected via an 1Gbit interface.
It seems to internally handle writing zeroes
via WRITESAME16 very fast.

Instead of having unlink() calls in the generic block layer, where we
aren't even guarateed to have a file name, move them to those block
drivers that are actually used and that always have a filename. Gets us
rid of some #ifdefs as well.
The patch also converts bs->is_temporary to a new BDRV_O_TEMPORARY open
flag so that it is inherited in the protocol layer and the raw-posix and
raw-win32 drivers can unlink the file.
