In some scenarios, when copy-before-write operations lasts too long
time, it's better to cancel it.
Most useful would be to use the new option together with
on-cbw-error=break-snapshot: this way if cbw operation takes too long
time we'll just cancel backup process but do not disturb the guest too
much.
Note the tricky point of realization: we keep additional point in
bs->in_flight during block_copy operation even if it's timed-out.
Background "cancelled" block_copy operations will finish at some point
and will want to access state. We should care to not free the state in
.bdrv_close() earlier.

Currently, behavior on copy-before-write operation failure is simple:
report error to the guest.
Let's implement alternative behavior: break the whole copy-before-write
process (and corresponding backup job or NBD client) but keep guest
working. It's needed if we consider guest stability as more important.
The realisation is simple: on copy-before-write failure we set
s->snapshot_ret and continue guest operations. s->snapshot_ret being
set will lead to all further snapshot API requests. Note that all
in-flight snapshot-API requests may still success: we do wait for them
on BREAK_SNAPSHOT-failure path in cbw_do_copy_before_write().

When connecting to an NBD server with TLS and x509 credentials,
the client must validate the hostname it uses for the connection,
against that published in the server's certificate. If the client
is tunnelling its connection over some other channel, however, the
hostname it uses may not match the info reported in the server's
certificate. In such a case, the user needs to explicitly set an
override for the hostname to use for certificate validation.
This is achieved by adding a 'tls-hostname' property to the NBD
block driver.

The new block driver simply utilizes snapshot-access API of underlying
block node.
In further patches we want to use it like this:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[copy-before-write]<------[snapshot-access]
| |
| file | target
v v
[active-disk] [temp.img]
This way, NBD client will be able to read snapshotted state of active
disk, when active disk is continued to be written by guest. This is
known as "fleecing", and currently uses another scheme based on qcow2
temporary image which backing file is active-disk. New scheme comes
with benefits - see next commit.
The other possible application is exporting internal snapshots of
qcow2, like this:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[qcow2]<---------[snapshot-access]
For this, we'll need to implement snapshot-access API handlers in
qcow2 driver, and improve snapshot-access block driver (and API) to
make it possible to select snapshot by name. Another thing to improve
is size of snapshot. Now for simplicity we just use size of bs->file,
which is OK for backup, but for qcow2 snapshots export we'll need to
imporve snapshot-access API to get size of snapshot.

First, this permission never protected a node from being changed, as
generic child-replacing functions don't check it.
Second, it's a strange thing: it presents a permission of parent node
to change its child. But generally, children are replaced by different
mechanisms, like jobs or qmp commands, not by nodes.
Graph-mod permission is hard to understand. All other permissions
describe operations which done by parent node on its child: read,
write, resize. Graph modification operations are something completely
different.
The only place where BLK_PERM_GRAPH_MOD is used as "perm" (not shared
perm) is mirror_start_job, for s->target. Still modern code should use
bdrv_freeze_backing_chain() to protect from graph modification, if we
don't do it somewhere it may be considered as a bug. So, it's a bit
risky to drop GRAPH_MOD, and analyzing of possible loss of protection
is hard. But one day we should do it, let's do it now.
One more bit of information is that locking the corresponding byte in
file-posix doesn't make sense at all.

Modern way is using blockdev-add + blockdev-backup, which provides a
lot more control on how target is opened.
As example of drive-backup problems consider the following:
User of drive-backup expects that target will be opened in the same
cache and aio mode as source. Corresponding logic is in
drive_backup_prepare(), where we take bs->open_flags of source.
It works rather bad if source was added by blockdev-add. Assume source
is qcow2 image. On blockdev-add we should specify aio and cache options
for file child of qcow2 node. What happens next:
drive_backup_prepare() looks at bs->open_flags of qcow2 source node.
But there no BDRV_O_NOCAHE neither BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO: BDRV_O_NOCAHE is
places in bs->file->bs->open_flags, and BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO is nowhere,
as file-posix parse options and simply set s->use_linux_aio.
The documentation is updated in a minimal way, so that drive-backup is
noted only as a deprecated command, and blockdev-backup used in most of
places.

The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

VMDK files support an attribute that represents the version of the guest
tools that are installed on the disk.
This attribute is used by vSphere before a machine has been started to
determine if the VM has the guest tools installed.
This is important when configuring "Operating system customizations" in
vSphere, as it checks for the presence of the guest tools before
allowing those customizations.
Thus when the VM has not yet booted normally it would be impossible to
customize it, therefore preventing a customized first-boot.
The attribute should not hurt on disks that do not have the guest tools
installed and indeed the VMware tools also unconditionally add this
attribute.

The recently-added NBD context qemu:allocation-depth is able to
distinguish between locally-present data (even when that data is
sparse) [shown as depth 1 over NBD], and data that could not be found
anywhere in the backing chain [shown as depth 0]; and the libnbd
project was recently patched to give the human-readable name "absent"
to an allocation-depth of 0. But qemu-img map --output=json predates
that addition, and has the unfortunate behavior that all portions of
the backing chain that resolve without finding a hit in any backing
layer report the same depth as the final backing layer. This makes it
harder to reconstruct a qcow2 backing chain using just 'qemu-img map'
output, especially when using "backing":null to artificially limit a
backing chain, because it is impossible to distinguish between a
QCOW2_CLUSTER_UNALLOCATED (which defers to a [missing] backing file)
and a QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN cluster (which would override any
backing file), since both types of clusters otherwise show as
"data":false,"zero":true" (but note that we can distinguish a
QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOCATED, which would also have an "offset":
listing).
The task of reconstructing a qcow2 chain was made harder in commit
0da9856851 (nbd: server: Report holes for raw images), because prior
to that point, it was possible to abuse NBD's block status command to
see which portions of a qcow2 file resulted in BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED
(showing up as NBD_STATE_ZERO in isolation) vs. missing from the chain
(showing up as NBD_STATE_ZERO|NBD_STATE_HOLE); but now qemu reports
more accurate sparseness information over NBD.
An obvious solution is to make 'qemu-img map --output=json' add an
additional "present":false designation to any cluster lacking an
allocation anywhere in the chain, without any change to the "depth"
parameter to avoid breaking existing clients. The iotests have
several examples where this distinction demonstrates the additional
accuracy.

Experiments show, that copy_range is not always making things faster.
So, to make experimentation simpler, let's add a parameter. Some more
perf parameters will be added soon, so here is a new struct.
For now, add new backup qmp parameter with x- prefix for the following
reasons:
- We are going to add more performance parameters, some will be
related to the whole block-copy process, some only to background
copying in backup (ignored for copy-before-write operations).
- On the other hand, we are going to use block-copy interface in other
block jobs, which will need performance options as well.. And it
should be the same structure or at least somehow related.
So, there are too much unclean things about how the interface and now
we need the new options mostly for testing. Let's keep them
experimental for a while.
In do_backup_common() new x-perf parameter handled in a way to
make further options addition simpler.
We add use-copy-range with default=true, and we'll change the default
in further patch, after moving backup to use block-copy.

The code already don't freeze base node and we try to make it prepared
for the situation when base node is changed during the operation. In
other words, block-stream doesn't own base node.
Let's introduce a new interface which should replace the current one,
which will in better relations with the code. Specifying bottom node
instead of base, and requiring it to be non-filter gives us the
following benefits:
- drop difference between above_base and base_overlay, which will be
renamed to just bottom, when old interface dropped
- clean way to work with parallel streams/commits on the same backing
chain, which otherwise become a problem when we introduce a filter
for stream job
- cleaner interface. Nobody will surprised the fact that base node may
disappear during block-stream, when there is no word about "base" in
the interface.

Add an option to limit copy-on-read operations to specified sub-chain
of backing-chain, to make copy-on-read filter useful for block-stream
job.

It's intended to be inserted between format and protocol nodes to
preallocate additional space (expanding protocol file) on writes
crossing EOF. It improves performance for file-systems with slow
allocation.

BlockDeviceMapEntry has never been used. It was added in commit
facd6e2 "so that it is published through the introspection mechanism."
What exactly introspecting types that aren't used for anything could
accomplish isn't clear. What "introspection mechanism" to use is also
nebulous. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been one that
covered this type. Certainly not query-qmp-schema, which includes
only types that are actually used in QMP.
Not being able to introspect BlockDeviceMapEntry hasn't bothered
anyone enough to complain in almost four years. Get rid of it.

MapEntry and BlockDeviceMapEntry are kind of the same thing, and the
latter is not used, so we want to remove it. However, the documentation
it provides for some fields is better than that of MapEntry, so steal
some of it for the latter.
(And adjust them a bit in the process, because I feel like we can make
them even clearer.)
