The networking subsystem may wish to use defer_call(), so move the code
to util/ where it can be reused.
As a reminder of what defer_call() does:
This API defers a function call within a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end()
section, allowing multiple calls to batch up. This is a performance
optimization that is used in the block layer to submit several I/O requests
at once instead of individually:
defer_call_begin(); <-- start of section
...
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
...
defer_call_end(); <-- end of section, my_func(my_obj) is called once

Introduce a new API for thread-local blk_io_plug() that does not
traverse the block graph. The goal is to make blk_io_plug() multi-queue
friendly.
Instead of having block drivers track whether or not we're in a plugged
section, provide an API that allows them to defer a function call until
we're unplugged: blk_io_plug_call(fn, opaque). If blk_io_plug_call() is
called multiple times with the same fn/opaque pair, then fn() is only
called once at the end of the function - resulting in batching.
This patch introduces the API and changes blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug().
blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug() no longer require a BlockBackend argument
because the plug state is now thread-local.
Later patches convert block drivers to blk_io_plug_call() and then we
can finally remove .bdrv_co_io_plug() once all block drivers have been
converted.

Detach event channels during drained sections to stop I/O submission
from the ring. xen-block is no longer reliant on aio_disable_external()
after this patch. This will allow us to remove the
aio_disable_external() API once all other code that relies on it is
converted.
Extend xen_device_set_event_channel_context() to allow ctx=NULL. The
event channel still exists but the event loop does not monitor the file
descriptor. Event channel processing can resume by calling
xen_device_set_event_channel_context() with a non-NULL ctx.
Factor out xen_device_set_event_channel_context() calls in
hw/block/dataplane/xen-block.c into attach/detach helper functions.
Incidentally, these don't require the AioContext lock because
aio_set_fd_handler() is thread-safe.
It's safer to register BlockDevOps after the dataplane instance has been
created. The BlockDevOps .drained_begin/end() callbacks depend on the
dataplane instance, so move the blk_set_dev_ops() call after
xen_block_dataplane_create().

This *changes* the arguments to the ->unmap() operation to include the
original ref# that was mapped. Under real Xen it isn't necessary; all we
need to do from QEMU is munmap(), then the kernel will release the grant,
and Xen does the tracking/refcounting for the guest.
When we have emulated grant tables though, we need to do all that for
ourselves. So let's have the back ends keep track of what they mapped
and pass it in to the ->unmap() method for us.

Currently, blk_is_read_only() tells whether a given BlockBackend can
only be used in read-only mode because its root node is read-only. Some
callers actually try to answer a slightly different question: Is the
BlockBackend configured to be writable, by taking write permissions on
the root node?
This can differ, for example, for CD-ROM devices which don't take write
permissions, but may be backed by a writable image file. scsi-cd allows
write requests to the drive if blk_is_read_only() returns false.
However, the write request will immediately run into an assertion
failure because the write permission is missing.
This patch introduces separate functions for both questions.
blk_supports_write_perm() answers the question whether the block
node/image file can support writable devices, whereas blk_is_writable()
tells whether the BlockBackend is currently configured to be writable.
All calls of blk_is_read_only() are converted to one of the two new
functions.

If we want to check error after errp-function call, we need to
introduce local_err and then propagate it to errp. Instead, use
the ERRP_GUARD() macro, benefits are:
1. No need of explicit error_propagate call
2. No need of explicit local_err variable: use errp directly
3. ERRP_GUARD() leaves errp as is if it's not NULL or
&error_fatal, this means that we don't break error_abort
(we'll abort on error_set, not on error_propagate)
If we want to add some info to errp (by error_prepend() or
error_append_hint()), we must use the ERRP_GUARD() macro.
Otherwise, this info will not be added when errp == &error_fatal
(the program will exit prior to the error_append_hint() or
error_prepend() call). No such cases are being fixed here.

Commit a31ca6801c ("qemu/queue.h: clear linked list pointers on
remove") revealed that a request was removed twice from a list, once
in xen_block_finish_request() and a second time in
xen_block_release_request() when both function are called from
xen_block_complete_aio(). But also, the `requests_inflight' counter is
decreased twice, and thus became negative.
This is a bug that was introduced in bfd0d63660 ("xen-block: improve
response latency"), where a `finished' list was removed.
That commit also introduced a leak of request in xen_block_do_aio().
That function calls xen_block_finish_request() but the request is
never released after that.
To fix both issue, we do two changes:
- we squash finish_request() and release_request() together as we want
to remove a request from 'inflight' list to add it to 'freelist'.
- before releasing a request, we need to let the other end know the
result, thus we should call xen_block_send_response() before
releasing a request.
The first change fixes the double QLIST_REMOVE() as we remove the extra
call. The second change makes the leak go away because if we want to
call finish_request(), we need to call a function that does all of
finish, send response, and release.

This patch adds a new xen_device_set_event_channel_context() function
to explicitly assign the channel AioContext, and modifies
xen_device_bind_event_channel() to initially assign the channel's poller

then modified to assign the channel to IOThread context during
xen_block_dataplane_start() and de-assign it during in
xen_block_dataplane_stop(), such that the channel is always assigned
back to main thread context before it is closed. aio_set_fd_handler()
already deals with all the necessary synchronization when moving an fd
between AioContext-s so no extra code is needed to manage this.

This patch introduces a poll callback for event channel fd-s and uses
this to invoke the channel callback function.
To properly support polling, it is necessary for the event channel callback
function to return a boolean saying whether it has done any useful work or
not. Thus xen_block_dataplane_event() is modified to directly invoke
xen_block_handle_requests() and the latter only returns true if it actually
processes any requests. This also means that the call to qemu_bh_schedule()
is moved into xen_block_complete_aio(), which is more intuitive since the
only reason for doing a deferred poll of the shared ring should be because
there were previously insufficient resources to fully complete a previous
poll.

A recent Xen commit [1] clarified the semantics of sector based quantities
used in the blkif protocol such that it is now safe to create a xen-block
device with a logical_block_size != 512, as long as the device only
connects to a frontend advertizing 'feature-large-block-size'.
This patch modifies xen-block accordingly. It also uses a stack variable
for the BlockBackend in xen_block_realize() to avoid repeated dereferencing
of the BlockConf pointer, and changes the parameters of
xen_block_dataplane_create() so that the BlockBackend pointer and sector
size are passed expicitly rather than implicitly via the BlockConf.
These modifications have been tested against a recent Windows PV XENVBD
driver [2] using a xen-disk device with a 4kB logical block size.

The Xen blkif protocol requires that sector based quantities should be
interpreted strictly as multiples of 512 bytes. Specifically:
"first_sect and last_sect in blkif_request_segment, as well as
sector_number in blkif_request, are always expressed in 512-byte units."
Commit fcab2b464e "xen: add header and build dataplane/xen-block.c"
incorrectly modified behaviour to use the block device logical_block_size
property as the scale, instead of correctly shifting values by the
hardcoded BDRV_SECTOR_BITS (and hence scaling them to 512 byte units).
This patch undoes that change and restores compliance with the spec.
Furthermore, this patch also restores the original xen_disk behaviour
of advertizing a hardcoded 'sector-size' value of 512 in xenstore and
scaling 'sectors' accordingly. The realize() method is also modified to
fail if logical_block_size is set to anything other than 512.

The xen-block dataplane currently allocates memory to hold the data for
each request as that request is used, and frees it afterwards. Because
it requires page-aligned blocks, this interacts poorly with non-page-
aligned allocations and balloons the heap.
Instead, allocate the maximum possible buffer size required for the
protocol, which is BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (currently 11) pages
when the request structure is created, and keep that buffer until it is
destroyed. Since the requests are re-used via a free list, this should
actually improve memory usage.
