Commit dd577a26ff ("block/file-posix:
implement bdrv_co_invalidate_cache() on Linux") introduced page cache
invalidation so that cache.direct=off live migration is safe on Linux.
The invalidation takes a significant amount of time when the file is
large and present in the page cache. Normally this is not the case for
cross-host live migration but it can happen when migrating between QEMU
processes on the same host.
On same-host migration we don't need to invalidate pages for correctness
anyway, so an option to skip page cache invalidation is useful. I
investigated optimizing invalidation and detecting same-host migration,
but both are hard to achieve so a user-visible option will suffice.
As a bonus this option means that the cache invalidation feature will
now be detectable by libvirt via QMP schema introspection.

This command allows reopening an arbitrary BlockDriverState with a
new set of options. Some options (e.g node-name) cannot be changed
and some block drivers don't allow reopening, but otherwise this
command is modelled after 'blockdev-add' and the state of the reopened
BlockDriverState should generally be the same as if it had just been
added by 'blockdev-add' with the same set of options.
One notable exception is the 'backing' option: 'x-blockdev-reopen'
requires that it is always present unless the BlockDriverState in
question doesn't have a current or default backing file.
This command allows reconfiguring the graph by using the appropriate
options to change the children of a node. At the moment it's possible
to change a backing file by setting the 'backing' option to the name
of the new node, but it should also be possible to add a similar
functionality to other block drivers (e.g. Quorum, blkverify).
Although the API is unlikely to change, this command is marked
experimental for the time being so there's room to see if the
semantics need changes.

The current API allows us to report a single status, which we've defined as:
Frozen: has a successor, treated as qmp_locked, may or may not be enabled.
Locked: no successor, qmp_locked. may or may not be enabled.
Disabled: Not frozen or locked, disabled.
Active: Not frozen, locked, or disabled.
The problem is that both "Frozen" and "Locked" mean nearly the same thing,
and that both of them do not intuit whether they are recording guest writes
or not.
This patch deprecates that status field and introduces two orthogonal
properties instead to replace it.

If a management application builds the block graph node by node, the
protocol layer doesn't inherit its read-only option from the format
layer any more, so it must be set explicitly.
Backing files should work on read-only storage, but at the same time, a
block job like commit should be able to reopen them read-write if they
are on read-write storage. However, without option inheritance, reopen
only changes the read-only option for the root node (typically the
format layer), but not the protocol layer, so reopening fails (the
format layer wants to get write permissions, but the protocol layer is
still read-only).
A simple workaround for the problem in the management tool would be to
open the protocol layer always read-write and to make only the format
layer read-only for backing files. However, sometimes the file is
actually stored on read-only storage and we don't know whether the image
can be opened read-write (for example, for NBD it depends on the server
we're trying to connect to). This adds an option that makes QEMU try to
open the image read-write, but allows it to degrade to a read-only mode
without returning an error.
The documentation for this option is consciously phrased in a way that
allows QEMU to switch to a better model eventually: Instead of trying
when the image is first opened, making the read-only flag dynamic and
changing it automatically whenever the first BLK_PERM_WRITE user is
attached or the last one is detached would be much more useful
behaviour.
Unfortunately, this more useful behaviour is also a lot harder to
implement, and libvirt needs a solution now before it can switch to
-blockdev, so let's start with this easier approach for now.
Instead of adding a new auto-read-only option, turning the existing
read-only into an enum (with a bool alternate for compatibility) was
considered, but it complicated the implementation to the point that it
didn't seem to be worth it.

The block-commit QMP command required specifying the top and base nodes

in simple cases (local files with absolute paths), the file names
generated for more complicated setups can be hard to predict.
The block-commit command has more problems than just this, so we want to
replace it altogether in the long run, but libvirt needs a reliable way
to address nodes now. So we don't want to wait for a new, cleaner
command, but just add the minimal thing needed right now.

Implements a block device write logging system, similar to Linux kernel
device mapper dm-log-writes. The write operations that are performed
on a block device are logged to a file or another block device. The
write log format is identical to the dm-log-writes format. Currently,
log markers are not supported.
This functionality can be used for crash consistency and fs consistency
testing. By implementing it in qemu, tests utilizing write logs can be
be used to test non-Linux drivers and older kernels.
The driver accepts an optional parameter to set the sector size used
for logging. This makes the driver require all requests to be aligned
to this sector size and also makes offsets and sizes of writes in the
log metadata to be expressed in terms of this value (the log format has
a granularity of one sector for offsets and sizes). This allows
accurate logging of writes to guest block devices that have unusual
sector sizes.
The implementation is based on the blkverify and blkdebug block
drivers.

In order to test that the NBD server is properly advertising
dirty bitmaps, we need a bare minimum client that can request
and read the context. Since feature freeze for 3.0 is imminent,
this is the smallest workable patch, which replaces the qemu
block status report with the results of the NBD server's dirty
bitmap (making it very easy to use 'qemu-img map --output=json'
to learn where the dirty portions are). Note that the NBD
protocol defines a dirty section with the same bit but opposite
sense that normal "base:allocation" uses to report an allocated
section; so in qemu-img map output, "data":true corresponds to
clean, "data":false corresponds to dirty.
A more complete solution that allows dirty bitmaps to be queried
at the same time as normal block status will be required before
this addition can lose the x- prefix. Until then, the fact that
this replaces normal status with dirty status means actions
like 'qemu-img convert' will likely misbehave due to treating
dirty regions of the file as if they are unallocated.
The next patch adds an iotest to exercise this new code.

Flat unions may now have uncovered branches, so it is possible to get rid
of empty types defined for that purpose only.
