Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.
So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",
as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.
This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO
fashion.

The difference between the start sectors of two requests can be larger
than the size of the "int" type, which can lead to a not correctly
sorted multiwrite array and thus spurious I/O errors and filesystem
corruption due to incorrect request merges.
So instead of doing the cute sector arithmetics trick spell out the
exact comparisms.

This adds the wr_highest_sector blockstat which implements what is generally
known as the high watermark. It is the highest offset of a sector written to
the respective BlockDriverState since it has been opened.
The query-blockstat QMP command is extended to add this value to the result,
and also to add the statistics of the underlying protocol in a new "parent"
field. Note that to get the "high watermark" of a qcow2 image, you need to look
into the wr_highest_sector field of the parent (which can be a file, a
host_device, ...). The wr_highest_sector of the qcow2 BlockDriverState itself
is the highest offset on the _virtual_ disk that the guest has written to.

The BlockDriver bdrv_getlength function is called from the I/O code path
when checking that the request falls within the device. Unfortunately
this involves an lseek system call in the raw protocol; every read or
write request will incur this lseek cost.
Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> identified this issue and its
latency overhead. This patch caches device length in the existing
total_sectors variable so lseek calls can be avoided for fixed size
devices.
Growable devices fall back to the full bdrv_getlength code path because
I have not added logic to detect extending the size of the device in a
write.

Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but rather
just get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patch
introduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which
need to access the filename to open their file/device/connection/... a new
callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file
opened.
For now, also some of the more obscure formats use bdrv_file_open because they
open() the file themselves instead of using the block.c functions. They need to
be fixed in later patches.

bdrv_open contains quite some code that is only useful for opening images (as
opposed to opening files by a protocol), for example snapshots.
This patch splits the code so that we have bdrv_open_file() for files (uses
protocols), bdrv_open() for images (uses format drivers) and bdrv_open_common()
for the code common for opening both images and files.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.
This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.
The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.
For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.
The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation. Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img. I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.
There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.
Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.
Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin
and me, which should all be in his block queue.

BDRV_O_FILE is only used to communicate between bdrv_file_open and bdrv_open.
It affects two things: first bdrv_open only searches for protocols using
find_protocol instead of all image formats and host drivers. We can easily
move that to the caller and pass the found driver to bdrv_open. Second
it is used to not force a read-write open of a snapshot file. But we never
use bdrv_file_open to open snapshots and this behaviour doesn't make sense
to start with.
qemu-io abused the BDRV_O_FILE for it's growable option, switch it to
using bdrv_file_open to make sure we only open files as growable were
we can actually support that.

Block drivers can trigger a blkdebug event whenever they reach a place where it
could be useful to inject an error for testing/debugging purposes.
Rules are read from a blkdebug config file and describe which action is taken
when an event is triggered. For now this is only injecting an error (with a few
options) or changing the state (which is an integer). Rules can be declared to
be active only in a specific state; this way later rules can distiguish on
which path we came to trigger their event.
