The final bdrv_set_backing_hd() could be working on already freed nodes
because the commit job drops its references (through BlockBackends) to
both overlay_bs and top already a bit earlier.
One way to trigger the bug is hot unplugging a disk for which
blockdev_mark_auto_del() cancels the block job.
Fix this by taking BDS-level references while we're still using the

In order to provide the 'consistent read' permission to the parents of
the 'top' node of the commit job, a new filter block driver is inserted
above 'top' which doesn't require 'consistent read' on its backing

The 'block-commit' command has a 'top' parameter to specify the
topmost node from which the data is going to be copied.
[E] <- [D] <- [C] <- [B] <- [A]
In this case if [C] is the top node then this is the result:
[E] <- [B] <- [A]
[B] must be modified so its backing image string points to [E] instead
of [C]. commit_start() takes care of reopening [B] in read-write
mode, and commit_complete() puts it back in read-only mode once the
operation has finished.
In order to find [B] (the overlay node) we look for the node that has
[C] (the top node) as its backing image. However in commit_complete()
we're doing it after [C] has been removed from the chain, so [B] is
never found and remains in read-write mode.
This patch gets the overlay node before the backing chain is
manipulated.

ratelimit_calculate_delay() previously reset the accounting every time
slice, no matter how much data had been processed before. This had (at
least) two consequences:
1. The minimum speed is rather large, e.g. 5 MiB/s for commit and stream.
Not sure if there are real-world use cases where this would be a
problem. Mirroring and backup over a slow link (e.g. DSL) would
come to mind, though.
2. Tests for block job operations (e.g. cancel) were rather racy
All block jobs currently use a time slice of 100ms. That's a
reasonable value to get smooth output during regular
operation. However this also meant that the state of block jobs
changed every 100ms, no matter how low the configured limit was. On
busy hosts, qemu often transferred additional chunks until the test
case had a chance to cancel the job.
Fix the block job rate limit code to delay for more than one time
slice to address the above issues. To make it easier to handle
oversized chunks we switch the semantics from returning a delay
_before_ the current request to a delay _after_ the current
request. If necessary, this delay consists of multiple time slice
units.
Since the mirror job sends multiple chunks in one go even if the rate
limit was exceeded in between, we need to keep track of the start of
the current time slice so we can correctly re-compute the delay for
the updated amount of data.
The minimum bandwidth now is 1 data unit per time slice. The block
jobs are currently passing the amount of data transferred in sectors
and using 100ms time slices, so this translates to 5120
bytes/second. With chunk sizes usually being O(512KiB), tests have
plenty of time (O(100s)) to operate on block jobs. The chance of a
race condition now is fairly remote, except possibly on insanely
loaded systems.

This patch also verifies that the ID is always unique and well-formed.
This causes problems in a couple of places where no ID is being set,
because the BDS does not have a device name.
In the case of test_block_job_start() (from test-blockjob-txn.c) we
can simply use this new 'job_id' parameter to set the missing ID.
In the case of img_commit() (from qemu-img.c) we still don't have the

'block-commit' needs write access to two different nodes of the chain:
- 'base', because that's where the data is written to.
- the overlay of 'top', because it needs to update the backing file
string to point to 'base' after the operation.
Both images have to be opened in read-write mode, and commit_start()
takes care of reopening them if necessary.
With the current implementation, however, when overlay_bs is reopened
in read-write mode it has the side effect of making 'base' read-only
again, eventually making 'block-commit' fail.
This needs to be fixed in bdrv_reopen(), but until we get to that it
can be worked around simply by swapping the order of base and
overlay_bs in the reopen queue.
In order to reproduce this bug, overlay_bs needs to be initially in
read-only mode. That is: the 'top' parameter of 'block-commit' cannot
be the active layer nor its immediate backing chain.

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 commit.
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-commit api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing
file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image
to modify in that case).
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.
