Right now we create a thread pool and main thread hands over the request
to thread in thread pool to process. Number of threads in thread pool
can be managed by option --thread-pool-size.
In tests we have noted that many of the workloads are getting better
performance if we don't use a thread pool at all and process all
the requests in the context of a thread receiving the request.
Hence give user an option to be able to run virtiofsd without using
a thread pool.
To implement this, I have used existing option --thread-pool-size. This
option defines how many maximum threads can be in the thread pool.
Thread pool size zero freezes thead pool. I can't see why will one
start virtiofsd with a frozen thread pool (hence frozen file system).
So I am redefining --thread-pool-size=0 to mean, don't use a thread pool.
Instead process the request in the context of thread receiving request
from the queue.

dgilbert: Split long line
glib offers thread pools and it seems to support "exclusive" and "shared"
thread pools.
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Thread-Pools.html#g-thread-pool-new
Currently we use "exlusive" thread pools but its performance seems to be
poor. I tried using "shared" thread pools and performance seems much
better. I posted performance results here.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virtio-fs/2020-September/msg00080.html
So lets switch to shared thread pools. We can think of making it optional
once somebody can show in what cases exclusive thread pools offer better
results. For now, my simple performance tests across the board see
better results with shared thread pools.

Unfortunately Docker/Moby does not include unshare in the seccomp.json

Current virtiofsd has problems about xattr operations and
they does not work properly for directory/symlink/special file.
The fundamental cause is that virtiofsd uses openat() + f...xattr()
systemcalls for xattr operation but we should not open symlink/special
file in the daemon. Therefore the function is restricted.
Fix this problem by:
1. during setup of each thread, call unshare(CLONE_FS)
2. in xattr operations (i.e. lo_getxattr), if inode is not a regular
file or directory, use fchdir(proc_loot_fd) + ...xattr() +
fchdir(root.fd) instead of openat() + f...xattr()
(Note: for a regular file/directory openat() + f...xattr()
is still used for performance reason)
With this patch, xfstests generic/062 passes on virtiofs.
This fix is suggested by Miklos Szeredi and Stefan Hajnoczi.

On guest graceful shutdown, virtiofsd receives VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE
request from VMM and shuts down virtqueues by calling fv_set_started(),
which joins fv_queue_thread() threads. So when virtio_loop() returns,
there should be no thread is still accessing data in fuse session and/or
virtio dev.
But on abnormal exit, e.g. guest got killed for whatever reason,
vhost-user socket is closed and virtio_loop() breaks out the main loop
and returns to main(). But it's possible fv_queue_worker()s are still
working and accessing fuse session and virtio dev, which results in
crash or use-after-free.
Fix it by stopping fv_queue_thread()s before virtio_loop() returns,
to make sure there's no-one could access fuse session and virtio dev.

Introduce a thread pool so that fv_queue_thread() just pops
VuVirtqElements and hands them to the thread pool. For the time being
only one worker thread is allowed since passthrough_ll.c is not
thread-safe yet. Future patches will lift this restriction so that
multiple FUSE requests can be processed in parallel.
The main new concept is struct FVRequest, which contains both
VuVirtqElement and struct fuse_chan. We now have fv_VuDev for a device,
fv_QueueInfo for a virtqueue, and FVRequest for a request. Some of
fv_QueueInfo's fields are moved into FVRequest because they are
per-request. The name FVRequest conforms to QEMU coding style and I
expect the struct fv_* types will be renamed in a future refactoring.
This patch series is not optimal. fbuf reuse is dropped so each request
does malloc(se->bufsize), but there is no clean and cheap way to keep
this with a thread pool. The vq_lock mutex is held for longer than
necessary, especially during the eventfd_write() syscall. Performance
can be improved in the future.
prctl(2) had to be added to the seccomp whitelist because glib invokes
it.

We call into libvhost-user from the virtqueue handler thread and the
vhost-user message processing thread without a lock. There is nothing
protecting the virtqueue handler thread if the vhost-user message
processing thread changes the virtqueue or memory table while it is
running.
This patch introduces a read-write lock. Virtqueue handler threads are
readers. The vhost-user message processing thread is a writer. This
will allow concurrency for multiqueue in the future while protecting
against fv_queue_thread() vs virtio_loop() races.
Note that the critical sections could be made smaller but it would be
more invasive and require libvhost-user changes. Let's start simple and
improve performance later, if necessary. Another option would be an
RCU-style approach with lighter-weight primitives.

The user will get confused about the situation and maybe the cause of the
unexpected problem. So it's better to prevent the multiple running.
Create a regular file under localstatedir directory to exclude the
vhost_user_socket. To create and lock the file, use qemu_write_pidfile()
because the API has some sanity checks and file lock.
