922453bca6 block: convert qemu_aio_flush() calls to bdrv_drain_all()
Many places in QEMU call qemu_aio_flush() to complete all pending
asynchronous I/O.  Most of these places actually want to drain all block
requests but there is no block layer API to do so.

This patch introduces the bdrv_drain_all() API to wait for requests
across all BlockDriverStates to complete.  As a bonus we perform checks
after qemu_aio_wait() to ensure that requests really have finished.

5bb2392776 virtio-blk: pass full status to the guest
When SCSI passthrough is being used by the guest with virtio-blk, the
guest is not able to detect disk failures.  This is because the status
field is expected by the guest driver to include also the msg_status,
host_status and driver_status fields, but the device is only passing
down the SCSI status.

The patch fixes this, and also makes sure that the guest always sees a
CHECK_CONDITION status when there is valid sense data.

0461d5a699 RunState: Rename enum values as generated by the QAPI
Next commit will convert the query-status command to use the
RunState type as generated by the QAPI.

In order to "transparently" replace the current enum by the QAPI
one, we have to make some changes to some enum values.

As the changes are simple renames, I'll do them in one shot. The
changes are:

 - Rename the prefix from RSTATE_ to RUN_STATE_
 - RUN_STATE_SAVEVM to RUN_STATE_SAVE_VM
 - RUN_STATE_IN_MIGRATE to RUN_STATE_INMIGRATE
 - RUN_STATE_PANICKED to RUN_STATE_INTERNAL_ERROR
 - RUN_STATE_POST_MIGRATE to RUN_STATE_POSTMIGRATE
 - RUN_STATE_PRE_LAUNCH to RUN_STATE_PRELAUNCH
 - RUN_STATE_PRE_MIGRATE to RUN_STATE_PREMIGRATE
 - RUN_STATE_RESTORE to RUN_STATE_RESTORE_VM
 - RUN_STATE_PRE_MIGRATE to RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE

1dfb4dd993 Replace the VMSTOP macros with a proper state type
Today, when notifying a VM state change with vm_state_notify(),
we pass a VMSTOP macro as the 'reason' argument. This is not ideal
because the VMSTOP macros tell why qemu stopped and not exactly
what the current VM state is.

One example to demonstrate this problem is that vm_start() calls
vm_state_notify() with reason=0, which turns out to be VMSTOP_USER.

This commit fixes that by replacing the VMSTOP macros with a proper
state type called RunState.

a597e79ce1 block: explicit I/O accounting
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
scsi layer overhaul.

7d0d69509a block: Fix virtual media change for if=none
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media
change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed.  It is set when
the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY.

The type hint is only set by drive_init().  It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY
for if=floppy.  It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide,
scsi, xen, or none.

if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM.
if=xen likewise, I think.

For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or
scsi-disk.  For other guest devices, there are problems:

* fdc: you can't change virtual media

    $ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo
    QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) eject foo
    Device 'foo' is not removable

  unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly.

* virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.  If
  you eject, the guest gets I/O errors.  If you change, the guest sees
  the drive's contents suddenly change.

* scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.
  I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device,
  but it can't be pretty.

f8b6cc0070 qdev: Decouple qdev_prop_drive from DriveInfo
Make the property point to BlockDriverState, cutting out the DriveInfo
middleman.  This prepares the ground for block devices that don't have
a DriveInfo.

Currently all user-defined ones have a DriveInfo, because the only way
to define one is -drive & friends (they go through drive_init()).
DriveInfo is closely tied to -drive, and like -drive, it mixes
information about host and guest part of the block device.  I'm
working towards a new way to define block devices, with clean
host/guest separation, and I need to get DriveInfo out of the way for
that.

Fortunately, the device models are perfectly happy with
BlockDriverState, except for two places: ide_drive_initfn() and
scsi_disk_initfn() need to check the DriveInfo for a serial number set
with legacy -drive serial=...  Use drive_get_by_blockdev() there.

Device model code should now use DriveInfo only when explicitly
dealing with drives defined the old way, i.e. without -device.

8cfacf0790 block: add logical_block_size property
Add a logical block size attribute as various guest side tools only
increase the filesystem sector size based on it, not the advisory
physical block size.

For scsi we already have support for a different logical block size
in place for CDROMs that we can built upon.  Only my recent block
device characteristics VPD page needs some fixups.  Note that we
leave the logial block size for CDROMs hardcoded as the 2k value
is expected for it in general.

For virtio-blk we already have a feature flag claiming to support
a variable logical block size that was added for the s390 kuli
hypervisor.  Interestingly it does not actually change the units
in which the protocol works, which is still fixed at 512 bytes,
but only communicates a different minimum I/O granularity.  So
all we need to do in virtio is to add a trap for unaligned I/O
and round down the device size to the next multiple of the logical
block size.

IDE does not support any other logical block size than 512 bytes.

The options are:

 - physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device,
   this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many
   modern storage devices
 - min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact,
   this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays.
 - opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is
   typically the RAID stripe width for arrays.

I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily
be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration.

Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the
logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in.  The reason for
that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and
at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow
for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would
not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only
uses the physical block exponent.

To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a
new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a
DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring
what is done for network drivers.  Also switch over all block drivers
to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB
properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever.

Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and
8k optimal I/O size:

  -drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \
  -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192
