this patch tries to optimize zero write requests
by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is
supported by the format.
This significantly speeds up file system initialization and
should speed zero write test used to test backend storage
performance.
I ran the following 2 tests on my internal SSD with a
50G QCOW2 container and on an attached iSCSI storage.
a) mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdX

The immediately visible effect of this patch is that it fixes committing
a temporary snapshot to its backing file. Previously, it would fail with
a "permission denied" error because bdrv_inherited_flags() forced the
backing file to be read-only, ignoring the r/w reopen of bdrv_commit().
The bigger problem this revealed is that the original open flags must
actually only be applied to the temporary snapshot, and the original
image file must be treated as a backing file of the temporary snapshot
and get the right flags for that.

This patch adds an errp parameter to bdrv_new() and updates all its

Since commit 9fd3171a, BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT uses an option QDict to specify
the originally requested image as the backing file of the newly created
temporary snapshot. This means that the filename is stored in
"file.filename", which is an option that is not parsed for protocol
names. Therefore things like -drive file=nbd:localhost:10809 were
broken because it looked for a local file with the literal name
'nbd:localhost:10809'.
This patch changes the way BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT works once again. We now open
the originally requested image as normal, and then do a similar
operation as for live snapshots to put the temporary snapshot on top.
This way, both driver specific options and parsed filenames work.
As a nice side effect, this results in code movement to factor
bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() out. This is a good preparation for moving
its call to drive_init() and friends eventually.

It can be useful to run an AioContext from a thread which normally does
not "own" the AioContext. For example, request draining can be
implemented by acquiring the AioContext and looping aio_poll() until all
requests have been completed.
The following pattern should work:
/* Event loop thread */
while (running) {
aio_context_acquire(ctx);
aio_poll(ctx, true);
aio_context_release(ctx);
}
/* Another thread */
aio_context_acquire(ctx);
bdrv_read(bs, 0x1000, buf, 1);
aio_context_release(ctx);
This patch implements aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release().
Note that existing aio_poll() callers do not need to worry about
acquiring and releasing - it is only needed when multiple threads will
call aio_poll() on the same AioContext.

bs->buffer_alignment is set by the device emulation and contains the
logical block size of the guest device. This isn't something that the
block layer should know, and even less something to use for determining
the right alignment of buffers to be used for the host.
The new BlockLimits field opt_mem_alignment tells the qemu block layer
the optimal alignment to be used so that no bounce buffer must be used
in the driver.
This patch may change the buffer alignment from 4k to 512 for all
callers that used qemu_blockalign() with the top-level image format
BlockDriverState. The value was never propagated to other levels in the
tree, so in particular raw-posix never required anything else than 512.
While on disks with 4k sectors direct I/O requires a 4k alignment,
memory may still be okay when aligned to 512 byte boundaries. This is
what must have happened in practice, because otherwise this would
already have failed earlier. Therefore I don't expect regressions even
with this intermediate state. Later, raw-posix can implement the hook
and expose a different memory alignment requirement.

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:

2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',

Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.
