Now all major device models (IDE, SCSI, virtio) can choose between
writethrough and writeback at run-time, and virtio will even revert
to writethrough if the guest is not capable of sending flushes. So
we can change the default to writeback at last.
Tested, for lack of a better idea, with a breakpoint on bdrv_open
and all cache choices one by one.

For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.
This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".
Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.
We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

All current users (IDE, SCSI and virtio-blk) happen to share this 20
characters limit. Still, it should be left to device models. They
already enforce their limits. They have to, as the DriveInfo limit
only affects legacy -drive serial=..., not the qdev properties.
usb-storage, which doesn't limit serial number length, also uses
DriveInfo for -usbdevice. But that doesn't provide access to
DriveInfo serial.

There are two producers of these hints: drive_init() on behalf of
-drive, and hd_geometry_guess().
The only consumer of the hint is hd_geometry_guess().
The callers of hd_geometry_guess() call it only when drive_init()
didn't set the hints. Therefore, drive_init()'s hints are never used.
Thus, hd_geometry_guess() only ever sees hints it produced itself in a
prior call. Only the first call computes something, subsequent calls
just repeat the first call's results. However, hd_geometry_guess() is
never called more than once: the device models don't, and the block
device is destroyed on unplug. Thus, dropping the repeat feature
doesn't break anything now.
If a block device wasn't destroyed on unplug and could be reused with
a new device, then repeating old results would be wrong. Thus,
dropping the repeat feature prevents future breakage.
This renders the hints unused. Purge them from the block layer.

This commit converts qemu_opts_create() from qerror_report() to
error_set().
Currently, most calls to qemu_opts_create() can't fail, so most
callers don't need any changes.
The two cases where code checks for qemu_opts_create() erros are:
1. Initialization code in vl.c. All of them print their own
error messages directly to stderr, no need to pass the Error
object
2. The functions opts_parse(), qemu_opts_from_qdict() and
qemu_chr_parse_compat() make use of the error information and
they can be called from HMP or QMP. In this case, to allow for
incremental conversion, we propagate the error up using
qerror_report_err(), which keeps the QError semantics

The block job API uses -errno return values internally and we convert
these to Error in the QMP functions. This is ugly because the Error
should be created at the point where we still have all the relevant

this case since we quickly run out of -errno values without losing

Monitor operations that manipulate image files must not execute while a
background job (like image streaming) is in progress. This prevents
corruptions from happening when two pieces of code are manipulating the
image file without knowledge of each other.
The monitor "commit" command raises QERR_DEVICE_IN_USE when
bdrv_commit() returns -EBUSY but "commit all" has no error handling.
This is easy to fix, although note that we do not deliver a detailed
error about which device was busy in the "commit all" case.

This is a QAPI/QMP only command to take a snapshot of a group of
devices. This is similar to the blockdev-snapshot-sync command, except
blockdev-group-snapshot-sync accepts a list devices, filenames, and
formats.
It is attempted to keep the snapshot of the group atomic; if the
creation or open of any of the new snapshots fails, then all of
the new snapshots are abandoned, and the name of the snapshot image
that failed is returned. The failure case should not interrupt
any operations.
Rather than use bdrv_close() along with a subsequent bdrv_open() to
perform the pivot, the original image is never closed and the new
image is placed 'in front' of the original image via manipulation
of the BlockDriverState fields. Thus, once the new snapshot image
has been successfully created, there are no more failure points
before pivoting to the new snapshot.
This allows the group of disks to remain consistent with each other,
even across snapshot failures.

Unplugging a storage interface like virtio-blk causes the host block
device to be deleted too. Long-running operations like block migration
must take a DriveInfo reference to prevent the BlockDriverState from

Note that it is not possible to acquire/release the drive reference in
block.c where the block job functions live because
drive_get_ref()/drive_put_ref() are blockdev.c functions. Calling them
from block.c would be a layering violation - tools like qemu-img don't

Unfortunately, this conversion required an additional change.
In the old QMP command, the 'snapshot-file' argument is specified as
optional. The idea is to take the snapshot internally if 'snapshot-file'
is not passed. However, internal snapshots are not supported yet so
the command returns a MissingParamater error if 'snapshot-file' is not
passed. Which makes the argument actually required and will cause
compatibility breakage if we change that in the future.
To fix this the QAPI converted blockdev_snapshot_sync command makes the
'snapshot-file' argument required. Again, in practice it's actually required,
so this is not incompatible.
If we do implement internal snapshots someday, we'll need a new argument
for it.

Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel
can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on
discs that aren't mounted. Add support for these events in the ATAPI
and SCSI cd drive device models.
To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also
be added for "tray opened/closed". This way, after issuing an "eject"
command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the
command. They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been
opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout. However,
with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models,
at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.

BlockDriverState member removable is a confused mess. It is true when
an ide-cd, scsi-cd or floppy qdev is attached, or when the
BlockDriverState was created with -drive if={floppy,sd} or -drive
if={ide,scsi,xen,none},media=cdrom ("created removable"), except when
an ide-hd, scsi-hd, scsi-generic or virtio-blk qdev is attached.
Three users remain:
1. eject_device(), via bdrv_is_removable() uses it to determine
whether a block device can eject media.
2. bdrv_info() is monitor command "info block". QMP documentation
says "true if the device is removable, false otherwise". From the
monitor user's point of view, the only sensible interpretation of
"is removable" is "can eject media with monitor commands eject and
change".
A block device can eject media unless a device is attached that
doesn't support it. Switch the two users over to new
bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() that returns exactly that.
3. bdrv_getlength() uses to suppress its length cache when media can
change (see commit 46a4e4e6). Media change is either monitor
command change (updates the length cache), monitor command eject
(doesn't update the length cache, easily fixable), or physical
media change (invalidates length cache, not so easily fixable).
I'm refraining from improving anything here, because this series is
long enough already. Instead, I simply switch it over to
bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() as well.
This changes the behavior of the length cache and of monitor commands
eject and change in two cases:
a. drive not created removable, no device attached
The commit makes the drive removable, and defeats the length cache.
Example: -drive if=none
b. drive created removable, but the attached drive is non-removable,
and doesn't call bdrv_set_removable(..., 0) (most devices don't)
The commit makes the drive non-removable, and enables the length
cache.
Example: -drive if=xen,media=cdrom -M xenpv
The other non-removable devices that don't call
bdrv_set_removable() can't currently use a drive created removable,
either because they aren't qdevified, or because they lack a drive
property. Won't stay that way.
