6ab4b5ab8f block: Decouple block device "commit all" from DriveInfo
do_commit() and mux_proc_byte() iterate over the list of drives
defined with drive_init().  This misses host block devices defined by
other means.  Such means don't exist now, but will be introduced later
in this series.

Change them to use new bdrv_commit_all(), which iterates over all host
block devices.

feeee5aca7 savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshots
Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized.

First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing
and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten?
bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there
is snapshots or not.

Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or
not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image.

So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global
BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots().

static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void)
{
    BlockDriverState *bs;
    DriveInfo *dinfo;

    if (bs_snapshots)
        return bs_snapshots;
    QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
        bs = dinfo->bdrv;
        if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs))
            goto ok;
    }
    return NULL;
 ok:
    bs_snapshots = bs;
    return bs;
}

bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support
snapshots and do_savevm() goes on.

Later on in do_savevm(), we find:

    QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
        bs1 = dinfo->bdrv;
        if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) {
            /* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */
            sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0);
            ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn);
            if (ret < 0) {
                monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n",
                               bdrv_get_device_name(bs1));
            }
        }
    }

bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has
snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is
actually checked for snapshot support.

So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not,
the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good
behavior. It should be an all or nothing process.

This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do
what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of
do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot()
where appropriate.

bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me.

The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at
least all writable devices must support snapshots too.

7cdb1f6d30 block: call the snapshot handlers of the protocol drivers
When snapshot handlers are not defined in the format driver, it is
better to call the ones of the protocol driver.  This enables us to
implement snapshot support in the protocol driver.

We need to call bdrv_close() and bdrv_open() handlers of the format
driver before and after bdrv_snapshot_goto() call of the protocol.  It is
because the contents of the block driver state may need to be changed
after loading vmstate.

So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache

as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.

294cc35f3d block: Add wr_highest_sector blockstat
This adds the wr_highest_sector blockstat which implements what is generally
known as the high watermark. It is the highest offset of a sector written to
the respective BlockDriverState since it has been opened.

The query-blockstat QMP command is extended to add this value to the result,
and also to add the statistics of the underlying protocol in a new "parent"
field. Note that to get the "high watermark" of a qcow2 image, you need to look
into the wr_highest_sector field of the parent (which can be a file, a
host_device, ...). The wr_highest_sector of the qcow2 BlockDriverState itself
is the highest offset on the _virtual_ disk that the guest has written to.

51762288b4 block: Cache total_sectors to reduce bdrv_getlength calls
The BlockDriver bdrv_getlength function is called from the I/O code path
when checking that the request falls within the device.  Unfortunately
this involves an lseek system call in the raw protocol; every read or
write request will incur this lseek cost.

Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> identified this issue and its
latency overhead.  This patch caches device length in the existing
total_sectors variable so lseek calls can be avoided for fixed size
devices.

Growable devices fall back to the full bdrv_getlength code path because
I have not added logic to detect extending the size of the device in a
write.

84a12e6648 block: separate raw images from the file protocol
We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.

This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.

The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.

For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.

The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation.  Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img.  I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.

There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.

Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.

Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin
and me, which should all be in his block queue.

use bdrv_file_open to open snapshots and this behaviour doesn't make sense

It's not needed to check the return of qobject_from_jsonf()
anymore, as an assert() has been added there.

15dc2697a5 block: saner flags filtering in bdrv_open2
Clean up the current mess about figuring out which flags to pass to the
driver.  BDRV_O_FILE, BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT and BDRV_O_NO_BACKING are flags
only used by the block layer internally so filter them out directly.
Previously BDRV_O_NO_BACKING could accidentally be passed to the drivers,
but wasn't ever used.

2582bfedd2 block: BLOCK_IO_ERROR QMP event
This commit introduces the bdrv_mon_event() function, which
should be called by block subsystems (eg. IDE) when a I/O
error occurs, so that an QMP event is emitted.

The following information is currently provided in the event:

- device name
- operation (ie. "read" or "write")
- action taken (eg. "stop")

Event example:

{ "event": "BLOCK_IO_ERROR",
    "data": { "device": "ide0-hd1",
              "operation": "write",
              "action": "stop" },
    "timestamp": { "seconds": 1265044230, "microseconds": 450486 } }

e2a305fb13 block: avoid creating too large iovecs in multiwrite_merge
If we go over the maximum number of iovecs support by syscall we get
back EINVAL from the kernel which translate to I/O errors for the guest.

Add a MAX_IOV defintion for platforms that don't have it.  For now we use
the same 1024 define that's used on Linux and various other platforms,
but until the windows block backend implements some kind of vectored I/O
it doesn't matter.
