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.

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.

The plan is to add new accounting metrics (latency, invalid requests, failed

Moreover the long term plan is to have statistics in each of the BDS of the graph

So we need to decouple the statistic code from BlockDriverState.

Some block devices may not have a filename in their BDS; and for some,

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

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.

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().

flag so that it is inherited in the protocol layer and the raw-posix and
raw-win32 drivers can unlink the file.

This patch keep the recursive way of doing things but simplify it by giving
two responsabilities to all block filters implementors.
They will need to do two things:
-Set the is_filter field of their block driver to true.
-Implement the bdrv_recurse_is_first_non_filter method of their block driver like
it is done on the Quorum block driver. (block/quorum.c)
[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> pointed out that this patch changes
the semantics of blkverify, which now recurses down both bs->file and
s->test_file.

We can only have a single wait_serialising_requests() call per request
because otherwise we can run into deadlocks where requests are waiting
for each other. The same is true when wait_serialising_requests() is not
at the very beginning of a request, so that other requests can be issued
between the start of the tracking and wait_serialising_requests().
Fix this by changing wait_serialising_requests() to ignore requests that
are already (directly or indirectly) waiting for the calling request.

Copy on Read wants to serialise with all requests touching the same
cluster, so wait_serialising_requests() rounded to cluster boundaries.
Other users like alignment RMW will have different requirements, though
(requests touching the same sector), so make it dynamic.

Change the API so that specific requests can be marked serialising. Only
these requests are checked for overlaps then.
This means that during a Copy on Read operation, not all requests
overlapping other requests are serialised any more, but only those that
actually overlap with the specific COR request.
Also remove COR from function and variable names because this
functionality can be useful in other contexts.

Add a bs->request_alignment field that contains the required
offset/length alignment for I/O requests and fill it in the raw block
drivers. Use ioctls if possible, else see what alignment it takes for
O_DIRECT to succeed.
While at it, also expose the memory alignment requirements, which may be
(and in practice are) different from the disk alignment requirements.

The alignment field is now set to the value that is promised to the
guest, rather than required by the host. The next patches will make
QEMU aware of the host-provided values, so make this clear.
The alignment is also not about memory buffers, but about the sectors on
the disk, change the documentation of the field.
At this point, the field is set by the device emulation, but completely
ignored by the block layer.

bs->buffer_alignment is set by the device emulation and contains the
logical block size of the guest device. This isn't something that the
block layer should know, and even less something to use for determining
the right alignment of buffers to be used for the host.
The new BlockLimits field opt_mem_alignment tells the qemu block layer
the optimal alignment to be used so that no bounce buffer must be used
in the driver.
This patch may change the buffer alignment from 4k to 512 for all
callers that used qemu_blockalign() with the top-level image format
BlockDriverState. The value was never propagated to other levels in the
tree, so in particular raw-posix never required anything else than 512.
While on disks with 4k sectors direct I/O requires a 4k alignment,
memory may still be okay when aligned to 512 byte boundaries. This is
what must have happened in practice, because otherwise this would
already have failed earlier. Therefore I don't expect regressions even
with this intermediate state. Later, raw-posix can implement the hook
and expose a different memory alignment requirement.
