b952b5589a mirror: add support for on-source-error/on-target-error
Error management is important for mirroring; otherwise, an error on the
target (even something as "innocent" as ENOSPC) requires to start again
with a full copy.  Similar to on_read_error/on_write_error, two separate
knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes).
The default is 'report' for both.

The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be
retried later.  Thus, it will not cause corruption.

893f7ebafe mirror: introduce mirror job
This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to
a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image.
The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the
source to the target in the background.  This can be used for several
purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and
observation of the guest I/O in an external program.  It is also a
first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is
part of QEMU.

The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into
two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target
first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and
ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy
of the source data.

The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs"
reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file.
When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the
job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report
successful completion of the job.

In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target
may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the
BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with
a past state of the source.  (Note that it could already happen
that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion
event instead of cancellation).

It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target
disk.  The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the
basic idea introduced here.  These include improved error management,
some tunable knobs and performance optimizations.

32c81a4a6e block: introduce block job error
The following behaviors are possible:

'report': The behavior is the same as in 1.1.  An I/O error,
respectively during a read or a write, will complete the job immediately
with an error code.

'ignore': An I/O error, respectively during a read or a write, will be
ignored.  For streaming, the job will complete with an error and the
backing file will be left in place.  For mirroring, the sector will be
marked again as dirty and re-examined later.

'stop': The job will be paused and the job iostatus will be set to
failed or nospace, while the VM will keep running.  This can only be
specified if the block device has rerror=stop and werror=stop or enospc.

'enospc': Behaves as 'stop' for ENOSPC errors, 'report' for others.

In all cases, even for 'report', the I/O error is reported as a QMP
event BLOCK_JOB_ERROR, with the same arguments as BLOCK_IO_ERROR.

It is possible that while stopping the VM a BLOCK_IO_ERROR event will be
reported and will clobber the event from BLOCK_JOB_ERROR, or vice versa.
This is not really avoidable since stopping the VM completes all pending
I/O requests.  In fact, it is already possible now that a series of
BLOCK_IO_ERROR events are reported with rerror=stop, because vm_stop
calls bdrv_drain_all and this can generate further errors.

This adds the live commit coroutine.  This iteration focuses on the
commit only below the active layer, and not the active layer itself.

The behaviour is similar to block streaming; the sectors are walked
through, and anything that exists above 'base' is committed back down
into base.  At the end, intermediate images are deleted, and the
chain stitched together.  Images are restored to their original open
flags upon completion.

e971aa1273 block: Framework for reopening files safely
This is based on Supriya Kannery's bdrv_reopen() patch series.

This provides a transactional method to reopen multiple
images files safely.

Image files are queue for reopen via bdrv_reopen_queue(), and the
reopen occurs when bdrv_reopen_multiple() is called.  Changes are
staged in bdrv_reopen_prepare() and in the equivalent driver level
functions.  If any of the staged images fails a prepare, then all
of the images left untouched, and the staged changes for each image
abandoned.

Block drivers are passed a reopen state structure, that contains:
    * BDS to reopen
    * flags for the reopen
    * opaque pointer for any driver-specific data that needs to be
      persistent from _prepare to _commit/_abort
    * reopen queue pointer, if the driver needs to queue additional
      BDS for a reopen

bfe8043e92 qcow2: implement lazy refcounts
Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones
refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty.  In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.

Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM).  Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.

The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:

  qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
  qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough

Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

2b584959ed block: Geometry and translation hints are now useless, purge them
There are two producers of these hints: drive_init() on behalf of
-drive, and hd_geometry_guess().

The only consumer of the hint is hd_geometry_guess().

The callers of hd_geometry_guess() call it only when drive_init()
didn't set the hints.  Therefore, drive_init()'s hints are never used.

Thus, hd_geometry_guess() only ever sees hints it produced itself in a
prior call.  Only the first call computes something, subsequent calls
just repeat the first call's results.  However, hd_geometry_guess() is
never called more than once: the device models don't, and the block
device is destroyed on unplug.  Thus, dropping the repeat feature
doesn't break anything now.

If a block device wasn't destroyed on unplug and could be reused with
a new device, then repeating old results would be wrong.  Thus,
dropping the repeat feature prevents future breakage.

This renders the hints unused.  Purge them from the block layer.

eba25057b9 block: prevent snapshot mode $TMPDIR symlink attack
In snapshot mode, bdrv_open creates an empty temporary file without
checking for mkstemp or close failure, and ignoring the possibility
of a buffer overrun given a surprisingly long $TMPDIR.
Change the get_tmp_filename function to return int (not void),
so that it can inform its two callers of those failures.
Also avoid the risk of buffer overrun and do not ignore mkstemp
or close failure.
Update both callers (in block.c and vvfat.c) to propagate
temp-file-creation failure to their callers.

get_tmp_filename creates and closes an empty file, while its
callers later open that presumed-existing file with O_CREAT.
The problem was that a malicious user could provoke mkstemp failure
and race to create a symlink with the selected temporary file name,
thus causing the qemu process (usually root owned) to open through
the symlink, overwriting an attacker-chosen file.

This addresses CVE-2012-2652.

fa4478d5c8 block: wait for job callback in block_job_cancel_sync
The limitation on not having I/O after cancellation cannot really be
kept.  Even streaming has a very small race window where you could
cancel a job and have it report completion.  If this window is hit,
bdrv_change_backing_file() will yield and possibly cause accesses to
dangling pointers etc.

So, let's just assume that we cannot know exactly what will happen
after the coroutine has set busy to false.  We can set a very lax
condition:

- if we cancel the job, the coroutine won't set it to false again
(and hence will not call co_sleep_ns again).

- block_job_cancel_sync will wait for the coroutine to exit, which
pretty much ensures no race.

Instead, we track the coroutine that executes the job and put very
strict conditions on what to do while it is quiescent (busy = false).
First of all, the coroutine must never set busy = false while the job
has been cancelled.  Second, the coroutine can be reentered arbitrarily
while it is quiescent, so you cannot really do anything but co_sleep_ns at
that time.  This condition is obeyed by the block_job_sleep_ns function.

3e914655f2 block: fix streaming/closing race
Streaming can issue I/O while qcow2_close is running.  This causes the
L2 caches to become very confused or, alternatively, could cause a
segfault when the streaming coroutine is reentered after closing its
block device.  The fix is to cancel streaming jobs when closing their
underlying device.

The cancellation must be synchronous, on the other hand qemu_aio_wait
will not restart a coroutine that is sleeping in co_sleep.  So add
a flag saying whether streaming has in-flight I/O.  If the busy flag
is false, the coroutine is quiescent and, when cancelled, will not
issue any new I/O.

This protects streaming against closing, but not against deleting.
We have a reference count protecting us against concurrent deletion,
but I still added an assertion to ensure nothing bad happens.

8802d1fdd4 qapi: Introduce blockdev-group-snapshot-sync command
This is a QAPI/QMP only command to take a snapshot of a group of
devices. This is similar to the blockdev-snapshot-sync command, except
blockdev-group-snapshot-sync accepts a list devices, filenames, and
formats.

It is attempted to keep the snapshot of the group atomic; if the
creation or open of any of the new snapshots fails, then all of
the new snapshots are abandoned, and the name of the snapshot image
that failed is returned.  The failure case should not interrupt
any operations.

Rather than use bdrv_close() along with a subsequent bdrv_open() to
perform the pivot, the original image is never closed and the new
image is placed 'in front' of the original image via manipulation
of the BlockDriverState fields.  Thus, once the new snapshot image
has been successfully created, there are no more failure points
before pivoting to the new snapshot.

This allows the group of disks to remain consistent with each other,
even across snapshot failures.

f08f2ddae0 block: add .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface
The ability to zero regions of an image file is a useful primitive for
higher-level features such as image streaming or zero write detection.

Image formats may support an optimized metadata representation instead
of writing zeroes into the image file.  This allows zero writes to be
potentially faster than regular write operations and also preserve
sparseness of the image file.

The .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface should be implemented by block
drivers that wish to provide efficient zeroing.

Note that this operation is different from the discard operation, which
may leave the contents of the region indeterminate.  That means
discarded blocks are not guaranteed to contain zeroes and may contain
junk data instead.

470c05047a block: make copy-on-read a per-request flag
Previously copy-on-read could only be enabled for all requests to a
block device.  This means requests coming from the guest as well as
QEMU's internal requests would perform copy-on-read when enabled.

For image streaming we want to support finer-grained behavior than just
populating the image file from its backing image.  Image streaming
supports partial streaming where a common backing image is preserved.
In this case guest requests should not perform copy-on-read because they
would indiscriminately copy data which should be left in a backing image
from the backing chain.

Introduce a per-request flag for copy-on-read so that a block device can
process both regular and copy-on-read requests.  Overlapping reads and
writes still need to be serialized for correctness when copy-on-read is
happening, so add an in-flight reference count to track this.

53fec9d3fd block: add interface to toggle copy-on-read
The bdrv_enable_copy_on_read()/bdrv_disable_copy_on_read() functions can
be used to programmatically enable or disable copy-on-read for a block
device.  Later patches add the actual copy-on-read logic.

dbffbdcfff block: add request tracking
The block layer does not know about pending requests.  This information
is necessary for copy-on-read since overlapping requests must be
serialized to prevent races that corrupt the image.

The BlockDriverState gets a new tracked_request list field which
contains all pending requests.  Each request is a BdrvTrackedRequest
record with sector_num, nb_sectors, and is_write fields.

Note that request tracking is always enabled but hopefully this extra
work is so small that it doesn't justify adding an enable/disable flag.

6aebab140d block: drop .bdrv_is_allocated() interface
Now that all block drivers have been converted to
.bdrv_co_is_allocated() we can drop .bdrv_is_allocated().

Note that the public bdrv_is_allocated() interface is still available
but is in fact a synchronous wrapper around .bdrv_co_is_allocated().

376ae3f1cb block: add .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
This patch adds the .bdrv_co_is_allocated() interface which is identical
to .bdrv_is_allocated() but runs in coroutine context.  Running in
coroutine context implies that other coroutines might be performing I/O
at the same time.   Therefore it must be safe to run while the following
BlockDriver functions are in-flight:

    .bdrv_co_readv()
    .bdrv_co_writev()
    .bdrv_co_flush()
    .bdrv_co_is_allocated()

The new .bdrv_co_is_allocated() interface is useful because it can be
used when a VM is running, whereas .bdrv_is_allocated() is a synchronous
interface that does not cope with parallel requests.

0f15423c32 block: allow migration to work with image files (v3)
Image files have two types of data: immutable data that describes things like
image size, backing files, etc. and mutable data that includes offset and
reference count tables.

Today, image formats aggressively cache mutable data to improve performance.  In
some cases, this happens before a guest even starts.  When dealing with live
migration, since a file is open on two machines, the caching of meta data can
lead to data corruption.

This patch addresses this by introducing a mechanism to invalidate any cached
mutable data a block driver may have which is then used by the live migration
code.

NB, this still requires coherent shared storage.  Addressing migration without
coherent shared storage (i.e. NFS) requires additional work.

eb489bb1ec block: Introduce bdrv_co_flush_to_os
qcow2 has a writeback metadata cache, so flushing a qcow2 image actually
consists of writing back that cache to the protocol and only then flushes the
protocol in order to get everything stable on disk.

This introduces a separate bdrv_co_flush_to_os to reflect the split.

There are two different types of flush that you can do: Flushing one level up
to the OS (i.e. writing data to the host page cache) or flushing it all the way
down to the disk. The existing functions flush to the disk, reflect this in the

6db39ae2e2 block: change discard to co_discard
Since coroutine operation is now mandatory, convert both bdrv_discard
implementations to coroutines.  For qcow2, this means taking the lock
around the operation.  raw-posix remains synchronous.

The bdrv_discard callback is then unused and can be eliminated.
