Whether a write cache is used or not is a decision that concerns the
user (e.g. the guest device) rather than the backend. It was already
logically part of the BB level as bdrv_move_feature_fields() always kept
it on top of the BDS tree; with this patch, the core of it (the actual
flag and the additional flushes) is also implemented there.
Direct callers of bdrv_open() must pass BDRV_O_CACHE_WB now if bs
doesn't have a BlockBackend attached.

When opening an image it is useful to know whether the caller
intends to perform I/O on the image or not. In the case of
encrypted images this will allow the block driver to avoid
having to prompt for decryption keys when we merely want to
query header metadata about the image. eg qemu-img info
This flag is enforced at the top level only, since even if
we don't want todo I/O on the 'qcow2' file payload, the
underlying 'file' driver will still need todo I/O to read
the qcow2 header, for example.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

Drivers can have internal request sources that generate IO, like the
need_check_timer in QED. Since we want quiesced periods that contain
nested event loops in block layer, we need to have a way to disable such
event sources.
Block drivers must implement the "bdrv_drain" callback if it has any
internal sources that can generate I/O activity, like a timer or a
worker thread (even in a library) that can schedule QEMUBH in an
asynchronous callback.
Update the comments of bdrv_drain and bdrv_drained_begin accordingly.
Like bdrv_requests_pending(), we should consider all the children of bs.
Before, the while loop just works, as bdrv_requests_pending() already
tracks its children; now we mustn't miss the callback, so recurse down

BlockAcctStats contains statistics about the data transferred from and
to the device; wr_highest_sector does not fit in with the rest.
Furthermore, those statistics are supposed to be specific for a certain
device and not necessarily for a BDS (see the comment above
bdrv_get_stats()); on the other hand, wr_highest_sector may be a rather
important information to know for each BDS. When BlockAcctStats is
finally removed from the BDS, we will want to keep wr_highest_sector in
the BDS.
Finally, wr_highest_sector is renamed to wr_highest_offset and given the
appropriate meaning. Externally, it is represented as an offset so there
is no point in doing something different internally. Its definition is
changed to match that in qapi/block-core.json which is "the offset after
the greatest byte written to". Doing so should not cause any harm since
if external programs tried to calculate the volume usage by
(wr_highest_offset + 512) / volume_size, after this patch they will just
assume the volume to be full slightly earlier than before.

During migration, QEMU uses fsync()/fdatasync() on the open file
descriptor for read-write block devices to flush data just before
stopping the VM.
However, fsync() on a scsi-generic device returns -EINVAL which
causes the migration to fail. This patch skips flushing data in case
of an SG device, since submitting SCSI commands directly via an SG
character device (e.g. /dev/sg0) bypasses the page cache completely,
anyway.
Note that fsync() not only flushes the page cache but also the disk
cache. The scsi-generic device never sends flushes, and for
migration it assumes that the same SCSI device is used by the
destination host, so it does not issue any SCSI SYNCHRONIZE CACHE
(10) command.
Finally, remove the bdrv_is_sg() test from iscsi_co_flush() since
this is now redundant (we flush the underlying protocol at the end
of bdrv_co_flush() which, with this patch, we never reach).

The principles of the algorithm are simple:
- Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way.

- If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token

for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
write(fd, buf, 4096);

The difference is quite reliable.
On the other hand we do not want at the moment to enforce bounce

The patch changes default bounce buffer optimal alignment to
MAX(page size, 4k). 4k is chosen as maximal known sector size on real

The justification of the performance improve is quite interesting.
From the kernel point of view each request to the disk was split

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.

This is the behavior in the operating system, for example Linux's
blkdev_write_iter has the following:
if (bdev_read_only(I_BDEV(bd_inode)))
return -EPERM;
This does not apply to opening a device for read/write, when the
device only supports read-only operation. In this case any of
EACCES, EPERM or EROFS is acceptable depending on why writing is
not possible.
