Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive
use of thin-provisioned disk images.
To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets
a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation
of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold
is reached or exceeded.
In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but
aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command.
This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale:
deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare.
To fix this, this patch adds:
* A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for
a given block device.
* A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device
usage exceeds the threshold.
* A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure,
to report the configured threshold.
This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more
efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.
[Updated qemu-iotests 067 output to add the new 'write_threshold'
property. --Stefan]

Add new query vnc qmp command, for the lack of better ideas just name it
"query-vnc-servers". Changes over query-vnc:
* It returns a list of vnc servers, so multiple vnc server instances
are covered.
* Each vnc server returns a list of server sockets. Followup patch
will use that to also report websockets. In case we add support for
multiple server sockets server sockets (to better support ipv4+ipv6
dualstack) we can add them to the list too.

The 'QemuConsole' is the input source for handler, we share some
input handlers to process the input events from different QemuConsole.
Normally we only have one set of keyboard, mouse, usbtablet, etc.
The devices have different mask, it's fine to just checking mask to
insure that the handler has the ability to process the event.
I saw we try to bind console to handler in usb/dev-hid.c, but display
always isn't available at that time.
If we have multiseat setup (as Gerd said), we only have 'problem' in
this case. Actually event from different devices have the same effect
for system, it's fine to always use the first available handler
without caring about the console.
For send-key command, we just pass a NULL for console parameter in
calling qemu_input_event_send_key(NULL, ..), but 'input-send-event'
needs to care more devices.
Conclusion:
Generally assigning the special console is meanless, and we can't
directly remove the QMP parameter for compatibility.
So we can make the parameter optional. The parameter might be useful
for some special condition: we have multiple devices without binding
console and they all have the ability(mask) to process events, and
we don't want to use the first one.

This patch removes support for the cow file format.
Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there
is no impact and it is the most logical option. Extraordinary claims
require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block
driver is the right thing to do.
The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way
of running a Linux system in userspace. The performance of UML was
never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before
hardware virtualization support became mainstream.
QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format.
Unfortunately the file format was underspecified:
1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing
filename field. The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux
switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal.
2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel
and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures. In
particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment
differences. Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not.
Therefore:
1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format.
2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures.
This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports
from users actually hitting these issues.
Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be
affected.

This introduces an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) interface with
a single nmi_monitor_handler() method. A machine or a device can
implement it. This searches for an QOM object with this interface
and if it is implemented, calls it. The callback implements an action
required to cause debug crash dump on in-kernel debugger invocation.
The callback returns Error**.
This adds a nmi_monitor_handle() helper which walks through
all objects to find the interface. The interface method is called
for all found instances.
This adds support for it in qmp_inject_nmi(). Since no architecture
supports it at the moment, there is no change in behaviour.
This changes inject-nmi command description for HMP and QMP.

On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block job.
For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.
In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.
With this extension to the block-stream api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the active layer as part of the block-stream
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the active image metadata fails, then the block-stream
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

This allows a user to make a live change to the backing file recorded in
an open image.
The image file to modify can be specified 2 ways:
1) image filename
2) image node-name
Note: this does not cause the backing file itself to be reopened; it
merely changes the backing filename in the image file structure, and
in internal BDS structures.
It is the responsibility of the user to pass a filename string that
can be resolved when the image chain is reopened, and the filename
string is not validated.
A good analogy for this command is that it is a live version of
'qemu-img rebase -u', with respect to changing the backing file string.
[Jeff is offline so I respun this patch in his absence. Dropped image
filename since using node-name is preferred and this is a new command.

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.

Add two commands that are the monitor counterparts of -object. The commands
have the same Visitor-based implementation, but use different kinds of
visitors so that the HMP command has a DWIM string-based syntax, while
the QMP variant accepts a stricter JSON-based properties dictionary.

This interface use id and name as optional parameters, to handle the
case that one image contain multiple snapshots with same name which
may be '', but with different id.
Adding parameter id is for historical compatiability reason, and
that case is not possible in qemu's new interface for internal
snapshot at block device level, but still possible in qemu-img.

Unlike savevm, the qmp_transaction interface will not generate
snapshot name automatically, saving trouble to return information
of the new created snapshot.
Although qcow2 support storing multiple snapshots with same name
but different ID, here it will fail when an snapshot with that name
already exist before the operation. Format such as rbd do not support
ID at all, and in most case, it means trouble to user when he faces
multiple snapshots with same name, so ban that case. Request with
empty name will be rejected.
Snapshot ID can't be specified in this interface.
