blockdev_create_run() directly uses .bdrv_co_create()'s return value as
the job's return value. Jobs must return 0 on success, not just any
nonnegative value. Therefore, using blockdev-create for VPC images may
currently fail as the vpc driver may return a positive integer.
Because there is no point in returning a positive integer anywhere in
the block layer (all non-negative integers are generally treated as
complete success), we probably do not want to add more such cases.
Therefore, fix this problem by making the vpc driver always return 0 in
case of success.

This patch removes xfs_write_zeroes() and xfs_discard(). Both functions
have been added just before the same feature was present through
fallocate():
- fallocate() has supported PUNCH_HOLE for XFS since Linux 2.6.38 (March
2011); xfs_discard() was added in December 2010.
- fallocate() has supported ZERO_RANGE for XFS since Linux 3.15 (June
2014); xfs_write_zeroes() was added in November 2013.
Nowadays, all systems that qemu runs on should support both fallocate()
features (RHEL 7's kernel does).
xfsctl() is still useful for getting the request alignment for O_DIRECT,
so this patch does not remove our dependency on it completely.
Note that xfs_write_zeroes() had a bug: It calls ftruncate() when the
file is shorter than the specified range (because ZERO_RANGE does not
increase the file length). ftruncate() may yield and then discard data
that parallel write requests have written past the EOF in the meantime.
Dropping the function altogether fixes the bug.

The size of the qcow2 L2 cache defaults to 32 MB, which can be easily
larger than the maximum amount of L2 metadata that the image can have.
For example: with 64 KB clusters the user would need a qcow2 image
with a virtual size of 256 GB in order to have 32 MB of L2 metadata.
Because of that, since commit b749562d98
we forbid the L2 cache to become larger than the maximum amount of L2
metadata for the image, calculated using this formula:
uint64_t max_l2_cache = virtual_disk_size / (s->cluster_size / 8);
The problem with this formula is that the result should be rounded up
to the cluster size because an L2 table on disk always takes one full
cluster.
For example, a 1280 MB qcow2 image with 64 KB clusters needs exactly
160 KB of L2 metadata, but we need 192 KB on disk (3 clusters) even if
the last 32 KB of those are not going to be used.
However QEMU rounds the numbers down and only creates 2 cache tables
(128 KB), which is not enough for the image.
A quick test doing 4KB random writes on a 1280 MB image gives me
around 500 IOPS, while with the correct cache size I get 16K IOPS.

Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to
avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later
be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero
request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize
for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that
will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new
protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as
well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while
upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when
present, and the server to advertise support for it.
The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for
all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to
avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not
requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to
other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get
an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as
EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were
equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than
recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in
practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.
