Kevin Wolf 8bfea15dda block: Unlink temporary files in raw-posix/win32
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.

Kevin Wolf 98522f63f4 block: Add errp to bdrv_new()
This patch adds an errp parameter to bdrv_new() and updates all its
callers. The next patches will make use of this in order to check for
duplicate IDs. Most of the callers know that their ID is fine, so they
can simply assert that there is no error.

Behaviour doesn't change with this patch yet as bdrv_new() doesn't
actually assign errors to errp.

Kevin Wolf b998875dcf block: Fix snapshot=on for protocol parsed from filename
Since commit 9fd3171a, BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT uses an option QDict to specify
the originally requested image as the backing file of the newly created
temporary snapshot. This means that the filename is stored in
"file.filename", which is an option that is not parsed for protocol
names. Therefore things like -drive file=nbd:localhost:10809 were
broken because it looked for a local file with the literal name
'nbd:localhost:10809'.

This patch changes the way BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT works once again. We now open
the originally requested image as normal, and then do a similar
operation as for live snapshots to put the temporary snapshot on top.
This way, both driver specific options and parsed filenames work.

As a nice side effect, this results in code movement to factor
bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() out. This is a good preparation for moving
its call to drive_init() and friends eventually.

Benoît Canet b5042a3622 block: Rewrite the snapshot authorization mechanism for block filters.
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.

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.

Kevin Wolf 339064d506 block: Don't use guest sector size for qemu_blockalign()
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.

Benoît Canet 12d3ba821d qmp: Allow to change password on named block driver states.
Signed-off-by: Benoit Canet <benoit@irqsave.net>
Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:

1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
                                      '*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}

2)

{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
                                      '*device-is-node': 'bool',
                                      'password': 'str'} }

Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.

Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.

Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.

Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.

Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.

Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.

A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

Previously a BlockDriverState has only one dirty bitmap, so only one

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

Kevin Wolf 98289620e0 block: Don't parse protocol from file.filename
One of the major reasons for doing something new for -blockdev and
blockdev-add was that the old block layer code parses filenames instead
of just taking them literally. So we should really leave it untouched
when it's passing using the new interfaces (like -drive
file.filename=...).

This allows opening relative file names that contain a colon.

Peter Lieven 3ac216270a block: change default of .has_zero_init to 0
.has_zero_init defaults to 1 for all formats and protocols.

this is a dangerous default since this means that all
new added drivers need to manually overwrite it to 0 if
they do not ensure that a device is zero initialized
after bdrv_create().

if a driver needs to explicitly set this value to
1 its easier to verify the correctness in the review process.

during review of the existing drivers it turned out
that ssh and gluster had a wrong default of 1.
both protocols support host_devices as backend
which are not by default zero initialized. this
wrong assumption will lead to possible corruption
if qemu-img convert is used to write to such a backend.

vpc and vmdk also defaulted to 1 altough they support
fixed respectively flat extends. this has to be addresses
in separate patches. both formats as well as the mentioned
ssh and gluster are turned to the default of 0 with this
patch for safety.

a similar problem with the wrong default existed for
iscsi most likely because the driver developer did
oversee the default value of 1.
