9e48b02540 mirror: Go through ready -> complete process for 0 len image
When mirroring or active committing a zero length image, BLOCK_JOB_READY
is not reported now, instead the job completes because we short circuit
the mirror job loop.

This is inconsistent with non-zero length images, and only confuses
management software.

Let's do the same thing when seeing a 0-length image: report ready
immediately; wait for block-job-cancel or block-job-complete; clear the
cancel flag as existing non-zero image synced case (cancelled after
ready); then jump to the exit.

a589569f2f qapi: adjust existing defines
In order to let event defines use existing types later, instead of
redefine new ones, some old type defines for spice and vnc are changed,
and BlockErrorAction is moved from block.h to qapi schema. Note that
BlockErrorAction is not merged with BlockdevOnError.

At this point, VncInfo is not made a child of VncBasicInfo, because
VncBasicInfo has mandatory fields where VncInfo makes them optional.

cc67f4d1f9 block: mirror - use local_err to avoid NULL errp
When starting a block job, commit_active_start() relies on whether *errp
is set by mirror_start_job.  This allows it to determine if the mirror
job start failed, so that it can clean up any changes to open flags from
the bdrv_reopen().  If errp is NULL, then it will not be able to
determine if mirror_start_job failed or not.

To avoid this, use a local Error variable, and then propagate the error
(if any) to errp.

4da8358596 block: resize backing image during active layer commit, if needed
If the top image to commit is the active layer, and also larger than
the base image, then an I/O error will likely be returned during
block-commit.

For instance, if we have a base image with a virtual size 10G, and a
active layer image of size 20G, then committing the snapshot via
'block-commit' will likely fail.

This will automatically attempt to resize the base image, if the
active layer image to be committed is larger.

e4654d2d94 block: per caller dirty bitmap
Previously a BlockDriverState has only one dirty bitmap, so only one
caller (e.g. a block job) can keep track of writing. This changes the
dirty bitmap to a list and creates a BdrvDirtyBitmap for each caller, the
lifecycle is managed with these new functions:

    bdrv_create_dirty_bitmap
    bdrv_release_dirty_bitmap

Where BdrvDirtyBitmap is a linked list wrapper structure of HBitmap.

In place of bdrv_set_dirty_tracking, a BdrvDirtyBitmap pointer argument
is added to these functions, since each caller has its own dirty bitmap:

    bdrv_get_dirty
    bdrv_dirty_iter_init
    bdrv_get_dirty_count

bdrv_set_dirty and bdrv_reset_dirty prototypes are unchanged but will
internally walk the list of all dirty bitmaps and set them one by one.

402a47411b mirror: support more than one in-flight AIO operation
With AIO support in place, we can start copying more than one chunk
in parallel.  This patch introduces the required infrastructure for
this: the buffer is split into multiple granularity-sized chunks,
and there is a free list to access them.

Because of copy-on-write, a single operation may already require
multiple chunks to be available on the free list.

In addition, two different iterations on the HBitmap may want to
copy the same cluster.  We avoid this by keeping a bitmap of in-flight
I/O operations, and blocking until the previous iteration completes.
This should be a pretty rare occurrence, though; as long as there is
no overlap the next iteration can start before the previous one finishes.

b812f6719c mirror: perform COW if the cluster size is bigger than the granularity
When mirroring runs, the backing files for the target may not yet be
ready.  However, this means that a copy-on-write operation on the target
would fill the missing sectors with zeros.  Copy-on-write only happens
if the granularity of the dirty bitmap is smaller than the cluster size
(and only for clusters that are allocated in the source after the job
has started copying).  So far, the granularity was fixed to 1MB; to avoid
the problem we detected the situation and required the backing files to
be available in that case only.

However, we want to lower the granularity for efficiency, so we need
a better solution.  The solution is to always copy a whole cluster the
first time it is touched.  The code keeps a bitmap of clusters that
have already been allocated by the mirroring job, and only does "manual"
copy-on-write if the chunk being copied is zero in the bitmap.

The default is 'report' for both.

The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be

source to the target in the background.  This can be used for several
purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and
observation of the guest I/O in an external program.  It is also a
first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is
part of QEMU.

The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into
two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target
first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and
ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy
of the source data.

The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs"
reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file.
When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the
job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report
successful completion of the job.

In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target
may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the
BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with
a past state of the source.  (Note that it could already happen
that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion
event instead of cancellation).

It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target
disk.  The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the
basic idea introduced here.  These include improved error management,
some tunable knobs and performance optimizations.
