When we for example have a sparse qcow2 image and discard: unmap is enabled,
there can be a lot of fragmentation in the image after some time. Especially on VM's
that do a lot of writes/deletes.
This causes the qcow2 image to grow even over 110% of its virtual size,
because the free gaps in the image get too small to allocate new
continuous clusters. So it allocates new space at the end of the image.
Disabling discard is not an option, as discard is needed to keep the
incremental backup size as low as possible. Without discard, the
incremental backups would become large, as qemu thinks it's just dirty
blocks but it doesn't know the blocks are unneeded.
So we need to avoid fragmentation but also 'empty' the unneeded blocks in
the image to have a small incremental backup.
In addition, we also want to send the discards further down the stack, so
the underlying blocks are still discarded.
Therefor we introduce a new qcow2 option "discard-no-unref".
When setting this option to true, discards will no longer have the qcow2
driver relinquish cluster allocations. Other than that, the request is
handled as normal: All clusters in range are marked as zero, and, if
pass-discard-request is true, it is passed further down the stack.
The only difference is that the now-zero clusters are preallocated
instead of being unallocated.
This will avoid fragmentation on the qcow2 image.

The virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver in libblkio 1.3.0 supports the fd
passing through the new 'fd' property.
Since now we are using qemu_open() on '@path' if the virtio-blk driver
supports the fd passing, let's announce it.
In this way, the management layer can pass the file descriptor of an
already opened vhost-vdpa character device. This is useful especially
when the device can only be accessed with certain privileges.
Add the '@fdset' feature only when the virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver
in libblkio supports it.

For every node in the backing chain, collect its BlockGraphInfo struct
using bdrv_query_block_graph_info(). Print all nodes' information,
indenting child nodes and labelling them with a path constructed from
the child names leading to the node from the root (e.g. /file/file).
Note that we open each image with BDRV_O_NO_BACKING, so its backing
child is omitted from this graph, and thus presented in the previous
manner: By simply concatenating all images' information, separated with
blank lines.
This affects two iotests:
- 065: Here we try to get the format node's format specific information.
The pre-patch code does so by taking all lines from "Format specific
information:" until an empty line. This format specific information
is no longer followed by an empty line, though, but by child node
information, so limit the range by "Child node '/file':".
- 302: Calls qemu_img() for qemu-img info directly, which does not

qemu-img info never uses ImageInfo's backing-image field, because it
opens the backing chain one by one with BDRV_O_NO_BACKING, and prints
all backing chain nodes' information consecutively. Use BlockNodeInfo
to make it clear that we only print information about a single node, and
that we are not using the backing-image field.
Notably, bdrv_image_info_dump() does not evaluate the backing-image
field, so we can easily make it take a BlockNodeInfo pointer (and
consequentially rename it to bdrv_node_info_dump()). It makes more
sense this way, because again, the interface now makes it syntactically
clear that backing-image is ignored by this function.

ImageInfo sometimes contains flat information, and sometimes it does
not. Split off a BlockNodeInfo struct, which only contains information
about a single node and has no link to the backing image.
We do this so we can extend BlockNodeInfo to a BlockGraphInfo struct,
which has links to all child nodes, not just the backing node. It would
be strange to base BlockGraphInfo on ImageInfo, because then this
extended struct would have two links to the backing node (one in
BlockGraphInfo as one of all the child links, and one in ImageInfo).
Furthermore, it is quite common to ignore the backing-image field
altogether: bdrv_query_image_info() does not set it, and
bdrv_image_info_dump() does not evaluate it. That signals that we
should have different structs for describing a single node and one that
has a link to the backing image.
Still, bdrv_query_image_info() and bdrv_image_info_dump() are not
changed too much in this patch. Follow-up patches will handle them.

VMDK's implementation of .bdrv_get_specific_info() returns information
about its extent files, ostensibly in the form of ImageInfo objects.
However, it does not get this information through
bdrv_query_image_info(), but fills only a select few fields with custom
information that does not always match the fields' purposes.
For example, @format, which is supposed to be a block driver name, is
filled with the extent type, e.g. SPARSE or FLAT.
In ImageInfo, @compressed shows whether the data that can be seen in the
image is stored in compressed form or not. For example, a compressed
qcow2 image will store compressed data in its data file, but when
accessing the qcow2 node, you will see normal data. This is not how
VMDK uses the @compressed field for its extent files: Instead, it
signifies whether accessing the extent file will yield compressed data
(which the VMDK driver then (de-)compresses).
Create a new structure to represent the extent information. This allows
us to clarify the fields' meanings, and it clearly shows that these are
not complete ImageInfo objects. (That is, if a user wants an extent
file's ImageInfo object, they will need to query it separately, and will
not get it from ImageInfoSpecificVmdk.extents.)
Note that this removes the last use of ['ImageInfo'] (i.e. an array of
ImageInfo objects), so the QAPI generator will no longer generate
ImageInfoList by default. However, we use it in qemu-img.c, so we need
to create a dummy object to force the generate to create that type,
similarly to DummyForceArrays in machine.json (introduced in commit
9f08c8ec73 ("qapi: Lazy creation of array
types")).

libblkio (https://gitlab.com/libblkio/libblkio/) is a library for
high-performance disk I/O. It currently supports io_uring,
virtio-blk-vhost-user, and virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa with additional drivers
under development.
One of the reasons for developing libblkio is that other applications
besides QEMU can use it. This will be particularly useful for
virtio-blk-vhost-user which applications may wish to use for connecting
to qemu-storage-daemon.
libblkio also gives us an opportunity to develop in Rust behind a C API
that is easy to consume from QEMU.
This commit adds io_uring, nvme-io_uring, virtio-blk-vhost-user, and
virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa BlockDrivers to QEMU using libblkio. It will be
easy to add other libblkio drivers since they will share the majority of
code.
For now I/O buffers are copied through bounce buffers if the libblkio
driver requires it. Later commits add an optimization for
pre-registering guest RAM to avoid bounce buffers.
The syntax is:
--blockdev io_uring,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on|off
--blockdev nvme-io_uring,node-name=drive0,filename=/dev/ng0n1,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on

Most useful would be to use the new option together with

much.
Note the tricky point of realization: we keep additional point in

The realisation is simple: on copy-before-write failure we set

When connecting to an NBD server with TLS and x509 credentials,
the client must validate the hostname it uses for the connection,
against that published in the server's certificate. If the client
is tunnelling its connection over some other channel, however, the
hostname it uses may not match the info reported in the server's
certificate. In such a case, the user needs to explicitly set an
override for the hostname to use for certificate validation.
This is achieved by adding a 'tls-hostname' property to the NBD
block driver.

The new block driver simply utilizes snapshot-access API of underlying
block node.
In further patches we want to use it like this:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[copy-before-write]<------[snapshot-access]
| |
| file | target
v v
[active-disk] [temp.img]
This way, NBD client will be able to read snapshotted state of active
disk, when active disk is continued to be written by guest. This is
known as "fleecing", and currently uses another scheme based on qcow2
temporary image which backing file is active-disk. New scheme comes
with benefits - see next commit.
The other possible application is exporting internal snapshots of
qcow2, like this:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[qcow2]<---------[snapshot-access]
For this, we'll need to implement snapshot-access API handlers in
qcow2 driver, and improve snapshot-access block driver (and API) to
make it possible to select snapshot by name. Another thing to improve
is size of snapshot. Now for simplicity we just use size of bs->file,
which is OK for backup, but for qcow2 snapshots export we'll need to
imporve snapshot-access API to get size of snapshot.

First, this permission never protected a node from being changed, as
generic child-replacing functions don't check it.
Second, it's a strange thing: it presents a permission of parent node
to change its child. But generally, children are replaced by different
mechanisms, like jobs or qmp commands, not by nodes.
Graph-mod permission is hard to understand. All other permissions
describe operations which done by parent node on its child: read,
write, resize. Graph modification operations are something completely
different.
The only place where BLK_PERM_GRAPH_MOD is used as "perm" (not shared
perm) is mirror_start_job, for s->target. Still modern code should use
bdrv_freeze_backing_chain() to protect from graph modification, if we
don't do it somewhere it may be considered as a bug. So, it's a bit
risky to drop GRAPH_MOD, and analyzing of possible loss of protection
is hard. But one day we should do it, let's do it now.
One more bit of information is that locking the corresponding byte in
file-posix doesn't make sense at all.

Modern way is using blockdev-add + blockdev-backup, which provides a
lot more control on how target is opened.
As example of drive-backup problems consider the following:
User of drive-backup expects that target will be opened in the same
cache and aio mode as source. Corresponding logic is in
drive_backup_prepare(), where we take bs->open_flags of source.
It works rather bad if source was added by blockdev-add. Assume source
is qcow2 image. On blockdev-add we should specify aio and cache options
for file child of qcow2 node. What happens next:
drive_backup_prepare() looks at bs->open_flags of qcow2 source node.
But there no BDRV_O_NOCAHE neither BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO: BDRV_O_NOCAHE is
places in bs->file->bs->open_flags, and BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO is nowhere,
as file-posix parse options and simply set s->use_linux_aio.
The documentation is updated in a minimal way, so that drive-backup is
noted only as a deprecated command, and blockdev-backup used in most of
places.

The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

Commit d7ddd0a161 ("linux-aio: limit the batch size using
`aio-max-batch` parameter") added a way to limit the batch size
of Linux AIO backend for the entire AIO context.
The same AIO context can be shared by multiple devices, so
latency-sensitive devices may want to limit the batch size even
more to avoid increasing latency.
For this reason we add the `aio-max-batch` option to the file
backend, which will be used by the next commits to limit the size of
batches including requests generated by this device.

VMDK files support an attribute that represents the version of the guest
tools that are installed on the disk.
This attribute is used by vSphere before a machine has been started to
determine if the VM has the guest tools installed.
This is important when configuring "Operating system customizations" in
vSphere, as it checks for the presence of the guest tools before
allowing those customizations.
Thus when the VM has not yet booted normally it would be impossible to
customize it, therefore preventing a customized first-boot.
The attribute should not hurt on disks that do not have the guest tools
installed and indeed the VMware tools also unconditionally add this
attribute.
(Defaulting to the value "2147483647", as is done in this patch)
