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.

If the I/O ring is full, the guest cannot send any more requests
until some responses are sent. Only sending all available responses
just before checking for new work does not leave much time for the
guest to supply new work, so this will cause stalls if the ring gets
full. Also, not completing reads as soon as possible adds latency
to the guest.
To alleviate that, complete IO requests as soon as they come back.
xen_block_send_response() already returns a value indicating whether
a notify should be sent, which is all the batching we need.

When I/O consists of many small requests, performance is improved by
batching them together in a single io_submit() call. When there are
relatively few requests, the extra overhead is not worth it. This
introduces a check to start batching I/O requests via blk_io_plug()/
blk_io_unplug() in an amount proportional to the number which were
already in flight at the time we started reading the ring.

Commit 5b2ffbe4d9 ("virtio-blk: dataplane:
notify guest as a batch") deferred guest notification to a BH in order
batch notifications, with purpose of avoiding flooding the guest with
interruptions.
This optimization came with a cost. The average latency perceived in the
guest is increased by a few microseconds, but also when multiple IO
operations finish at the same time, the guest won't be notified until
all completions from each operation has been run. On the contrary,
virtio-scsi issues the notification at the end of each completion.
On the other hand, nowadays we have the EVENT_IDX feature that allows a
better coordination between QEMU and the Guest OS to avoid sending
unnecessary interruptions.
With this change, virtio-blk/dataplane only batches notifications if the
EVENT_IDX feature is not present.

Dataplane has been omitting forever the step of setting ISR when
an interrupt is raised. This caused little breakage, because the
specification actually says that ISR may not be updated in MSI mode.
Some versions of the Windows drivers however didn't clear MSI mode
correctly, and proceeded using polling mode (using ISR, not the used
ring index!) for crashdump and hibernation. If it were just crashdump
and hibernation it would not be a big deal, but recent releases of
Windows do not really shut down, but rather log out and hibernate to
make the next startup faster. Hence, this manifested as a more serious
hang during shutdown with e.g. Windows 8.1 and virtio-win 1.8.0 RPMs.
Newer versions fixed this, while older versions do not use MSI at all.
The failure has always been there for virtio dataplane, but it became
visible after commits 9ffe337 ("virtio-blk: always use dataplane path
if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) and ad07cd6 ("virtio-scsi: always
use dataplane path if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) made virtio-blk
and virtio-scsi always use the dataplane code under KVM. The good news
therefore is that it was not a bug in the patches---they were doing
exactly what they were meant for, i.e. shake out remaining dataplane bugs.
The fix is not hard, so it's worth arranging for the broken drivers.
The virtio_should_notify+event_notifier_set pair that is common to
virtio-blk and virtio-scsi dataplane is replaced with a new public
function virtio_notify_irqfd that also sets ISR. The irqfd emulation
code now need not set ISR anymore, so virtio_irq is removed.

blockdev-mirror refuses to start if target is attached, so the first is

By removing BACKUP_TARGET, blockdev-backup will become permissive to

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h

any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all

qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

In disabled mode, virtio-blk dataplane seems to be enabled, but flow
actually goes through the normal virtio path. This patch simplifies a bit
the handling of disabled mode. In disabled mode, virtio_blk_handle_output
might be called even if s->dataplane is not NULL.
This is a bit tricky, because the current check for s->dataplane will
always trigger, causing a continuous stream of calls to
virtio_blk_data_plane_start. Unfortunately, these calls will not
do anything. To fix this, set the "started" flag even in disabled
mode, and skip virtio_blk_data_plane_start if the started flag is true.
The resulting changes also prepare the code for the next patch, were
virtio-blk dataplane will reuse the same virtio_blk_handle_output function
as "regular" virtio-blk.
Because struct VirtIOBlockDataPlane is opaque in virtio-blk.c, we have
to move s->dataplane->started inside struct VirtIOBlock.

The return code of virtqueue_pop/vring_pop is unused except to check for
errors or 0. We can thus easily move allocation inside the functions
and just return a pointer to the VirtQueueElement.
The advantage is that we will be able to allocate only the space that
is needed for the actual size of the s/g list instead of the full
VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE items. Currently VirtQueueElement takes about 48K
of memory, and this kind of allocation puts a lot of stress on malloc.
By cutting the size by two or three orders of magnitude, malloc can
use much more efficient algorithms.
The patch is pretty large, but changes to each device are testable
more or less independently. Splitting it would mostly add churn.

followed by manual cleanup, first because I can't figure out how to
make Coccinelle transform strings, and second to get rid of now
superfluous error_propagate().
We now use or propagate the original error whole instead of just its
message obtained with error_get_pretty(). This avoids suppressing its
hint (see commit 50b7b00), but I can't see how the errors touched in
this commit could come with hints. It also improves the message
printed with &error_abort when we screw up (see commit 1e9b65b).

It's necessary to distinguish source and target before we can add
blockdev-mirror, because we would want a concrete type of operation to
check on target bs before starting.

The official way of enabling dataplane is through the "iothread"
property that references an iothread object created by "-object
iothread". Since the old "x-data-plane=on" way now even crashes, it's
probably easier to just drop it:

After qemu_iovec_destroy, the QEMUIOVector's size is zeroed and
the zero size ultimately is used to compute virtqueue_push's len
argument. Therefore, reads from virtio-blk devices did not
migrate their results correctly. (Writes were okay).
Save the size in virtio_blk_handle_request, and use it when the request
is completed.

The vring.c code currently assumes that guest and host endianness match,
which is not true for a number of cases:
- emulating targets with a different endianness than the host
- bi-endian targets, where the correct endianness depends on the virtio
device
- upcoming support for the virtio-1 standard mandates little-endian
accesses even for big-endian targets and hosts
Make sure to use accessors that depend on the virtio device.
Note that dataplane now needs to be built per-target.

this patch finally introduces multiread support to virtio-blk. While
multiwrite support was there for a long time, read support was missing.
The complete merge logic is moved into virtio-blk.c which has
been the only user of request merging ever since. This is required
to be able to merge chunks of requests and immediately invoke callbacks
for those requests. Secondly, this is required to switch to
direct invocation of coroutines which is planned at a later stage.
The following benchmarks show the performance of running fio with
4 worker threads on a local ram disk. The numbers show the average
of 10 test runs after 1 run as warmup phase.

Like BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP_SOURCE and BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP_TARGET,
block-commit involves two asymmetric devices.
This change is not user-visible (yet), because commit only works with
device names.
But once we enable backing reference in blockdev-add, or specifying
node-name in block-commit command, we don't want the user to start two
commit jobs on the same backing chain, which will corrupt things because
of the final bdrv_swap.
Before we have per category blockers, splitting this type is still
better.
[Resolved virtio-blk dataplane conflict by replacing
BLOCK_OP_TYPE_COMMIT with both BLOCK_OP_TYPE_COMMIT_{SOURCE, TARGET}.
They are safe since the block job runs in the same AioContext as the
dataplane IOThread.

The transaction QMP command performs operations atomically on a group of
drives. This command needs to acquire AioContext in order to work
safely when virtio-blk dataplane IOThreads are accessing drives.
The transactional nature of the command means that actions are split
into prepare, commit, abort, and clean functions. Acquire the
AioContext in prepare and don't release it until one of the other
functions is called. This prevents the IOThread from running the
AioContext before the transaction has completed.
