According to the NBD spec, a server that advertises
NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN promises that multiple client connections will
not see any cache inconsistencies: when properly separated by a single
flush, actions performed by one client will be visible to another
client, regardless of which client did the flush.
We always satisfy these conditions in qemu - even when we support
multiple clients, ALL clients go through a single point of reference
into the block layer, with no local caching. The effect of one client
is instantly visible to the next client. Even if our backend were a
network device, we argue that any multi-path caching effects that
would cause inconsistencies in back-to-back actions not seeing the
effect of previous actions would be a bug in that backend, and not the
fault of caching in qemu. As such, it is safe to unconditionally
advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN for any qemu NBD server situation that
supports parallel clients.
Note, however, that we don't want to advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN when we
know that a second client cannot connect (for historical reasons,
qemu-nbd defaults to a single connection while nbd-server-add and QMP
commands default to unlimited connections; but we already have
existing means to let either style of NBD server creation alter those
defaults). This is visible by no longer advertising MULTI_CONN for
'qemu-nbd -r' without -e, as in the iotest nbd-qemu-allocation.
The harder part of this patch is setting up an iotest to demonstrate
behavior of multiple NBD clients to a single server. It might be
possible with parallel qemu-io processes, but I found it easier to do
in python with the help of libnbd, and help from Nir and Vladimir in
writing the test.

The current firmware descriptor schema for flash requires that both the
executable to NVRAM template paths be provided. This is fine for the
most common usage of EDK2 builds in virtualization where the separate
_CODE and _VARS files are provided.
With confidential computing technology like AMD SEV, persistent storage
of variables may be completely disabled because the firmware requires a
known clean state on every cold boot. There is no way to express this
in the firmware descriptor today.
Even with regular EDK2 builds it is possible to create a firmware that
has both executable code and variable persistence in a single file. This
hasn't been commonly used, since it would mean every guest bootup would
need to clone the full firmware file, leading to redundant duplicate
storage of the code portion. In some scenarios this may not matter and
might even be beneficial. For example if a public cloud allows users to
bring their own firmware, such that the user can pre-enroll their own
secure boot keys, you're going to have this copied on disk for each
tenant already. At this point the it can be simpler to just deal with
a single file rather than split builds. The firmware descriptor ought
to be able to express this combined firmware model too.
This all points towards expanding the schema for flash with a 'mode'
concept:
- "split" - the current implicit behaviour with separate files
for code and variables.
- "combined" - the alternate behaviour where a single file contains
both code and variables.
- "stateless" - the confidential computing use case where storage
of variables is completely disable, leaving only the code.

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.

included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied

This has the following visible changes:

- X11 is explicitly required by gtk-egl.
- EGL is now mandatory for the OpenGL displays.
The last one needs some detailed description. Before this change,
EGL was tested only for OpenGL dma-buf with the check of
EGL_MESA_image_dma_buf_export. However, all of the OpenGL
displays depend on EGL and EGL_MESA_image_dma_buf_export is always
defined by epoxy's EGL interface.
Therefore, it makes more sense to always check the presence of EGL

Original specification says that l1 table size if 64 * l1_size, which
is obviously wrong. The size of the l1 entry is 64 _bits_, not bytes.
Thus 64 is to be replaces with 8 as specification says about bytes.
There is also minor tweak, field name is renamed from l1 to l1_table,
which matches with the later text.

When we first converted our documentation to Sphinx, we split it into
multiple manuals (system, interop, tools, etc), which are all built
separately. The primary driver for this was wanting to be able to
avoid shipping the 'devel' manual to end-users. However, this is
working against the grain of the way Sphinx wants to be used and
causes some annoyances:
* Cross-references between documents become much harder or
possibly impossible
* There is no single index to the whole documentation
* Within one manual there's no links or table-of-contents info
that lets you easily navigate to the others
* The devel manual doesn't get published on the QEMU website
(it would be nice to able to refer to it there)
Merely hiding our developer documentation from end users seems like
it's not enough benefit for these costs. Combine all the
documentation into a single manual (the same way that the readthedocs
site builds it) and install the whole thing. The previous manual
divisions remain as the new top level sections in the manual.
* The per-manual conf.py files are no longer needed
* The man_pages[] specifications previously in each per-manual
conf.py move to the top level conf.py
* docs/meson.build logic is simplified as we now only need to run
Sphinx once for the HTML and then once for the manpages5B
* The old index.html.in that produced the top-level page with
links to each manual is no longer needed
Unfortunately this means that we now have to build the HTML
documentation into docs/manual in the build tree rather than directly
into docs/; otherwise it is too awkward to ensure we install only the
built manual and not also the dependency info, stamp file, etc. The
manual still ends up in the same place in the final installed
directory, but anybody who was consulting documentation from within
the build tree will have to adjust where they're looking.

Although individual qemu-storage-daemon QMP commands are identical to
QEMU QMP commands, qemu-storage-daemon only supports a subset of QEMU's
QMP commands. Generate a manual page of just the commands supported by
qemu-storage-daemon so that users know exactly what is available in
qemu-storage-daemon.
Add an h1 heading in storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json so that
block-core.json is at the h2 heading level.

QEMU currently truncates the mmap_offset field when sending
VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG and VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG messages. The struct
layout looks like this:
typedef struct VhostUserMemoryRegion {
uint64_t guest_phys_addr;
uint64_t memory_size;
uint64_t userspace_addr;
uint64_t mmap_offset;
} VhostUserMemoryRegion;
typedef struct VhostUserMemRegMsg {
uint32_t padding;
/* WARNING: there is a 32-bit hole here! */
VhostUserMemoryRegion region;
} VhostUserMemRegMsg;
The payload size is calculated as follows when sending the message in
hw/virtio/vhost-user.c:
msg->hdr.size = sizeof(msg->payload.mem_reg.padding) +
sizeof(VhostUserMemoryRegion);
This calculation produces an incorrect result of only 36 bytes.
sizeof(VhostUserMemRegMsg) is actually 40 bytes.
The consequence of this is that the final field, mmap_offset, is
truncated. This breaks x86_64 TCG guests on s390 hosts. Other guest/host
combinations may get lucky if either of the following holds:
1. The guest memory layout does not need mmap_offset != 0.
2. The host is little-endian and mmap_offset <= 0xffffffff so the
truncation has no effect.
Fix this by extending the existing 32-bit padding field to 64-bit. Now
the padding reflects the actual compiler padding. This can be verified
using pahole(1).
Also document the layout properly in the vhost-user specification. The
vhost-user spec did not document the exact layout. It would be
impossible to implement the spec without looking at the QEMU source
code.
Existing vhost-user frontends and device backends continue to work after
this fix has been applied. The only change in the wire protocol is that
QEMU now sets hdr.size to 40 instead of 36. If a vhost-user
implementation has a hardcoded size check for 36 bytes, then it will
fail with new QEMUs. Both QEMU and DPDK/SPDK don't check the exact
payload size, so they continue to work.
