5b7e1542cf block: make bdrv_create adopt coroutine
The current qemu.git introduces failure with preallocation and some
sizes:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 new.img 976563K -o preallocation=metadata
qemu-img: qemu-coroutine-lock.c:111: qemu_co_mutex_unlock: Assertion
`mutex->locked == 1' failed.

And lock needs to work in coroutine context. So to fix this issue, we
need to make bdrv_create adopt coroutine at first.

c83c66c3b5 block: add 'speed' optional parameter to block-stream
Allow streaming operations to be started with an initial speed limit.
This eliminates the window of time between starting streaming and
issuing block-job-set-speed.  Users should use the new optional 'speed'
parameter instead so that speed limits are in effect immediately when
the job starts.

9e6636c72d block: use Error mechanism instead of -errno for block_job_set_speed()
There are at least two different errors that can occur in

Use the Error mechanism to report the error where it occurs.

fd7f8c6537 block: use Error mechanism instead of -errno for block_job_create()
The block job API uses -errno return values internally and we convert
these to Error in the QMP functions.  This is ugly because the Error
should be created at the point where we still have all the relevant
information.  More importantly, it is hard to add new error cases to
this case since we quickly run out of -errno values without losing
information.

Go ahead and use Error directly and don't convert later.

80ccf93b88 qemu-img: let 'qemu-img convert' flush data
The 'qemu-img convert -h' advertise that the default cache mode is
'writeback', while in fact it is 'unsafe'.

This patch 1) fix the help manual and 2) let bdrv_close() call bdrv_flush()

2) is needed because some backend storage doesn't have a self-flush
mechanism(for e.g., sheepdog), so we need to call bdrv_flush() to make
sure the image is really writen to the storage instead of hanging around
writeback cache forever.

f6801b83d0 block: bdrv_append() fixes
A few fixups for bdrv_append():

The new bs (bs_new) passed into bdrv_append() should be anonymous.  Rather
than call bdrv_make_anon() to enforce this, use an assert to catch when a caller
is passing in a bs_new that is not anonymous.

Also, the new top layer should have its backing_format reflect the original
top's format.

And last, after the swap of bs contents, the device_name will have been copied
down. This needs to be cleared to reflect the anonymity of the bs that was
pushed down.

3e914655f2 block: fix streaming/closing race
Streaming can issue I/O while qcow2_close is running.  This causes the
L2 caches to become very confused or, alternatively, could cause a
segfault when the streaming coroutine is reentered after closing its
block device.  The fix is to cancel streaming jobs when closing their
underlying device.

The cancellation must be synchronous, on the other hand qemu_aio_wait
will not restart a coroutine that is sleeping in co_sleep.  So add
a flag saying whether streaming has in-flight I/O.  If the busy flag
is false, the coroutine is quiescent and, when cancelled, will not
issue any new I/O.

This protects streaming against closing, but not against deleting.
We have a reference count protecting us against concurrent deletion,
but I still added an assertion to ensure nothing bad happens.

e88774971c block: handle -EBUSY in bdrv_commit_all()
Monitor operations that manipulate image files must not execute while a
background job (like image streaming) is in progress.  This prevents
corruptions from happening when two pieces of code are manipulating the
image file without knowledge of each other.

The monitor "commit" command raises QERR_DEVICE_IN_USE when
bdrv_commit() returns -EBUSY but "commit all" has no error handling.
This is easy to fix, although note that we do not deliver a detailed
error about which device was busy in the "commit all" case.

8802d1fdd4 qapi: Introduce blockdev-group-snapshot-sync command
This is a QAPI/QMP only command to take a snapshot of a group of
devices. This is similar to the blockdev-snapshot-sync command, except
blockdev-group-snapshot-sync accepts a list devices, filenames, and
formats.

It is attempted to keep the snapshot of the group atomic; if the
creation or open of any of the new snapshots fails, then all of
the new snapshots are abandoned, and the name of the snapshot image
that failed is returned.  The failure case should not interrupt
any operations.

Rather than use bdrv_close() along with a subsequent bdrv_open() to
perform the pivot, the original image is never closed and the new
image is placed 'in front' of the original image via manipulation
of the BlockDriverState fields.  Thus, once the new snapshot image
has been successfully created, there are no more failure points
before pivoting to the new snapshot.

This allows the group of disks to remain consistent with each other,
even across snapshot failures.

f08f2ddae0 block: add .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface
The ability to zero regions of an image file is a useful primitive for
higher-level features such as image streaming or zero write detection.

Image formats may support an optimized metadata representation instead
of writing zeroes into the image file.  This allows zero writes to be
potentially faster than regular write operations and also preserve
sparseness of the image file.

The .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface should be implemented by block
drivers that wish to provide efficient zeroing.

Note that this operation is different from the discard operation, which
may leave the contents of the region indeterminate.  That means
discarded blocks are not guaranteed to contain zeroes and may contain
junk data instead.

470c05047a block: make copy-on-read a per-request flag
Previously copy-on-read could only be enabled for all requests to a
block device.  This means requests coming from the guest as well as
QEMU's internal requests would perform copy-on-read when enabled.

For image streaming we want to support finer-grained behavior than just
populating the image file from its backing image.  Image streaming
supports partial streaming where a common backing image is preserved.
In this case guest requests should not perform copy-on-read because they
would indiscriminately copy data which should be left in a backing image
from the backing chain.

Introduce a per-request flag for copy-on-read so that a block device can
process both regular and copy-on-read requests.  Overlapping reads and
writes still need to be serialized for correctness when copy-on-read is
happening, so add an in-flight reference count to track this.

0f15423c32 block: allow migration to work with image files (v3)
Image files have two types of data: immutable data that describes things like
image size, backing files, etc. and mutable data that includes offset and
reference count tables.

Today, image formats aggressively cache mutable data to improve performance.  In
some cases, this happens before a guest even starts.  When dealing with live
migration, since a file is open on two machines, the caching of meta data can
lead to data corruption.

This patch addresses this by introducing a mechanism to invalidate any cached
mutable data a block driver may have which is then used by the live migration
code.

NB, this still requires coherent shared storage.  Addressing migration without
coherent shared storage (i.e. NFS) requires additional work.

cache=unsafe completely ignored bdrv_flush, because flushing the host disk
costs a lot of performance. However, this means that qcow2 images (and
potentially any other format) can lose data even after the guest has issued a
flush if the qemu process crashes/is killed. In case of a host crash, data loss
is certainly expected with cache=unsafe, but if just the qemu process dies this
is a bit too unsafe.

Now that we have two separate flush functions, we can choose to flush
everythign to the OS, but don't enforce that it's physically written to the
disk.

eb489bb1ec block: Introduce bdrv_co_flush_to_os
qcow2 has a writeback metadata cache, so flushing a qcow2 image actually
consists of writing back that cache to the protocol and only then flushes the
protocol in order to get everything stable on disk.

This introduces a separate bdrv_co_flush_to_os to reflect the split.

c68b89acd6 block: Rename bdrv_co_flush to bdrv_co_flush_to_disk
There are two different types of flush that you can do: Flushing one level up
to the OS (i.e. writing data to the host page cache) or flushing it all the way
down to the disk. The existing functions flush to the disk, reflect this in the
function name.

025ccaa7f9 block: add eject request callback
Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel
can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on
discs that aren't mounted.  Add support for these events in the ATAPI
and SCSI cd drive device models.

To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also
be added for "tray opened/closed".  This way, after issuing an "eject"
command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the
command.  They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been
opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout.  However,
with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models,
at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.
