Sheepdog support two kinds of redundancy, full replication and erasure coding.

# create a fully replicated vdi with x copies
 -o redundancy=x (1 <= x <= SD_MAX_COPIES)

# create a erasure coded vdi with x data strips and y parity strips
 -o redundancy=x:y (x must be one of {2,4,8,16} and 1 <= y < SD_EC_MAX_STRIP)

E.g, to convert a vdi into sheepdog vdi 'test' with 8:3 erasure coding scheme

Fam Zheng e4654d2d94 block: per caller dirty bitmap
Previously a BlockDriverState has only one dirty bitmap, so only one
caller (e.g. a block job) can keep track of writing. This changes the
dirty bitmap to a list and creates a BdrvDirtyBitmap for each caller, the
lifecycle is managed with these new functions:

    bdrv_create_dirty_bitmap
    bdrv_release_dirty_bitmap

Where BdrvDirtyBitmap is a linked list wrapper structure of HBitmap.

In place of bdrv_set_dirty_tracking, a BdrvDirtyBitmap pointer argument
is added to these functions, since each caller has its own dirty bitmap:

    bdrv_get_dirty
    bdrv_dirty_iter_init
    bdrv_get_dirty_count

bdrv_set_dirty and bdrv_reset_dirty prototypes are unchanged but will
internally walk the list of all dirty bitmaps and set them one by one.

Peter Lieven d75cbb5e68 block: introduce bdrv_make_zero
this patch adds a call to completely zero out a block device.
the operation is sped up by checking the block status and
only writing zeroes to the device if they currently do not
return zeroes. optionally the zero writing can be sped up
by setting the flag BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP to emulate the zero
write by unmapping if the driver supports it.

Kevin Wolf b94a261057 block: Avoid unecessary drv->bdrv_getlength() calls
The block layer generally keeps the size of an image cached in
bs->total_sectors so that it doesn't have to perform expensive
operations to get the size whenever it needs it.

This doesn't work however when using a backend that can change its size
without qemu being aware of it, i.e. passthrough of removable media like
CD-ROMs or floppy disks. For this reason, the caching is disabled when a
removable device is used.

It is obvious that checking whether the _guest_ device has removable
media isn't the right thing to do when we want to know whether the size
of the host backend can change. To make things worse, non-top-level
BlockDriverStates never have any device attached, which makes qemu
assume they are removable, so drv->bdrv_getlength() is always called on
the protocol layer. In the case of raw-posix, this causes unnecessary
lseek() system calls, which turned out to be rather expensive.

This patch completely changes the logic and disables bs->total_sectors
caching only for certain block driver types, for which a size change is
expected: host_cdrom and host_floppy on POSIX, host_device on win32; also
the raw format in case it sits on top of one of these protocols, but in
the common case the nested bdrv_getlength() call on the protocol driver
will use the cache again and avoid an expensive drv->bdrv_getlength()
call.

Wenchao Xia a89d89d3e6 snapshot: distinguish id and name in snapshot delete
Snapshot creation actually already distinguish id and name since it take
a structured parameter *sn, but delete can't. Later an accurate delete
is needed in qmp_transaction abort and blockdev-snapshot-delete-sync,
so change its prototype. Also *errp is added to tip error, but return
value is kepted to let caller check what kind of error happens. Existing
caller for it are savevm, delvm and qemu-img, they are not impacted by
introducing a new function bdrv_snapshot_delete_by_id_or_name(), which
check the return value and do the operation again.

Before this patch:
  For qcow2, it search id first then name to find the one to delete.
  For rbd, it search name.
  For sheepdog, it does nothing.

After this patch:
  For qcow2, logic is the same by call it twice in caller.
  For rbd, it always fails in delete with id, but still search for name
in second try, no change to user.

Some code for *errp is based on Pavel's patch.

TOP copies changes to the topmost drive image and preserves the
point-in-time using CoW.

For sync mode TOP are creating a new target image using the same backing
file as the original disk image.  Then any new data that has been laid
on top of it since creation is copied in the main backup_run() loop.
There is an extra check in the 'TOP' case so that we don't bother to copy
all the data of the backing file as it already exists in the target.
This is where the bdrv_co_is_allocated() is used to determine if the
data exists in the topmost layer or below.

Also any new data being written is intercepted via the write_notifier
hook which ends up calling backup_do_cow() to copy old data out before
it gets overwritten.

For mode 'NONE' we create the new target image and only copy in the
original data from the disk image starting from the time the call was
made.  This preserves the point in time data by only copying the parts
that are *going to change* to the target image.  This way we can
reconstruct the final image by checking to see if the given block exists
in the new target image first, and if it does not, you can get it from
the original image.  This is basically an optimization allowing you to
do point-in-time snapshots with low overhead vs the 'FULL' version.

Since there is no old data to copy out the loop in backup_run() for the
NONE case just calls qemu_coroutine_yield() which only wakes up after
an event (usually cancel in this case).  The rest is handled by the
before_write notifier which again calls backup_do_cow() to write out
the old data so it can be preserved.
