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.

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.

The bdrv_enable_copy_on_read()/bdrv_disable_copy_on_read() functions can

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.

Now that all block drivers have been converted to

Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
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.

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.

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.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
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

This commit adds support to the BlockDriverState type to keep track
of devices' I/O status.
There are three possible status: BDRV_IOS_OK (no error), BDRV_IOS_ENOSPC
(no space error) and BDRV_IOS_FAILED (any other error). The distinction
between no space and other errors is important because a management
application may want to watch for no space in order to extend the
space assigned to the VM and put it to run again.
Qemu devices supporting the I/O status feature have to enable it
explicitly by calling bdrv_iostatus_enable() _and_ have to be
configured to stop the VM on errors (ie. werror=stop|enospc or
rerror=stop).
In case of multiple errors being triggered in sequence only the first
one is stored. The I/O status is always reset to BDRV_IOS_OK when the
'cont' command is issued.
Next commits will add support to some devices and extend the
query-block/info block commands to return the I/O status information.

Decouple the I/O accounting from bdrv_aio_readv/writev/flush and
make the hardware models call directly into the accounting helpers.
This means:
- we do not count internal requests from image formats in addition
to guest originating I/O
- we do not double count I/O ops if the device model handles it
chunk wise
- we only account I/O once it actuall is done
- can extent I/O accounting to synchronous or coroutine I/O easily
- implement I/O latency tracking easily (see the next patch)
I've conveted the existing device model callers to the new model,
device models that are using synchronous I/O and weren't accounted
before haven't been updated yet. Also scsi hasn't been converted
to the end-to-end accounting as I want to defer that after the pending
