Without the allow_other mount option, no user (not even root) but the
one who started qemu/the storage daemon can access the export. Allow
users to configure the export such that such accesses are possible.
While allow_other is probably what users want, we cannot make it an
unconditional default, because passing it is only possible (for non-root
users) if the global fuse.conf configuration file allows it. Thus, the
default is an 'auto' mode, in which we first try with allow_other, and
then fall back to without.
FuseExport.allow_other reports whether allow_other was actually used as
a mount option or not. Currently, this information is not used, but a
future patch will let this field decide whether e.g. an export's UID and
GID can be changed through chmod.
One notable thing about 'auto' mode is that libfuse may print error
messages directly to stderr, and so may fusermount (which it executes).
Our export code cannot really filter or hide them. Therefore, if 'auto'
fails its first attempt and has to fall back, fusermount will print an
error message that mounting with allow_other failed.
This behavior necessitates a change to iotest 308, namely we need to
filter out this error message (because if the first attempt at mounting
with allow_other succeeds, there will be no such message).
Furthermore, common.rc's _make_test_img should use allow-other=off for
FUSE exports, because iotests generally do not need to access images
from other users, so allow-other=on or allow-other=auto have no
advantage. OTOH, allow-other=on will not work on systems where
user_allow_other is disabled, and with allow-other=auto, we get said
error message that we would need to filter out again. Just disabling
allow-other is simplest.

These will behave more like normal files in that writes beyond the EOF
will automatically grow the export size.
As an optimization, keep the RESIZE permission for growable exports so
we do not have to take it for every post-EOF write. (This permission is
not released when the export is destroyed, because at that point the
BlockBackend is destroyed altogether anyway.)

block-export-add type=fuse allows mounting block graph nodes via FUSE on
some existing regular file. That file should then appears like a raw
disk image, and accesses to it result in accesses to the exported BDS.
Right now, we only implement the necessary block export functions to set
it up and shut it down. We do not implement any access functions, so
accessing the mount point only results in errors. This will be
addressed by a followup patch.
We keep a hash table of exported mount points, because we want to be
able to detect when users try to use a mount point twice. This is
because we invoke stat() to check whether the given mount point is a
regular file, but if that file is served by ourselves (because it is
already used as a mount point), then this stat() would have to be served
by ourselves, too, which is impossible to do while we (as the caller)
are waiting for it to settle. Therefore, keep track of mount point
paths to at least catch the most obvious instances of that problem.

Allow the server to expose an additional metacontext to be requested
by savvy clients. qemu-nbd adds a new option -A to expose the
qemu:allocation-depth metacontext through NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS; this
can also be set via QMP when using block-export-add.
qemu as client is hacked into viewing the key aspects of this new
context by abusing the already-experimental x-dirty-bitmap option to
collapse all depths greater than 2, which results in a tri-state value
visible in the output of 'qemu-img map --output=json' (yes, that means
x-dirty-bitmap is now a bit of a misnomer, but I didn't feel like
renaming it as it would introduce a needless break of back-compat,
even though we make no compat guarantees with x- members):
unallocated (depth 0) => "zero":false, "data":true
local (depth 1) => "zero":false, "data":false
backing (depth 2+) => "zero":true, "data":true
libnbd as client is probably a nicer way to get at the information
without having to decipher such hacks in qemu as client. ;)

Since 'block-export-add' is new to 5.2, we can still tweak the
interface; there, allowing 'bitmaps':['str'] is nicer than
'bitmap':'str'. This wires up the qapi and qemu-nbd changes to permit
passing multiple bitmaps as distinct metadata contexts that the NBD
client may request, but the actual support for more than one will
require a further patch to the server.
Note that there are no changes made to the existing deprecated
'nbd-server-add' command; this required splitting the QAPI type
BlockExportOptionsNbd, which fortunately does not affect QMP
introspection.

Allow the number of queues to be configured using --export
vhost-user-blk,num-queues=N. This setting should match the QEMU --device
vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=N setting but QEMU vhost-user-blk.c lowers
its own value if the vhost-user-blk backend offers fewer queues than
QEMU.
The vhost-user-blk-server.c code is already capable of multi-queue. All
virtqueue processing runs in the same AioContext. No new locking is
needed.
Add the num-queues=N option and set the VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ feature bit.
Note that the feature bit only announces the presence of the num_queues
configuration space field. It does not promise that there is more than 1
virtqueue, so we can set it unconditionally.
I tested multi-queue by running a random read fio test with numjobs=4 on
an -smp 4 guest. After the benchmark finished the guest /proc/interrupts
file showed activity on all 4 virtio-blk MSI-X. The /sys/block/vda/mq/
directory shows that Linux blk-mq has 4 queues configured.
An automated test is included in the next commit.

Use the new QAPI block exports API instead of defining our own QOM
objects.
This is a large change because the lifecycle of VuBlockDev needs to
follow BlockExportDriver. QOM properties are replaced by QAPI options
objects.
VuBlockDev is renamed VuBlkExport and contains a BlockExport field.
Several fields can be dropped since BlockExport already has equivalents.
The file names and meson build integration will be adjusted in a future
patch. libvhost-user should probably be built as a static library that
is linked into QEMU instead of as a .c file that results in duplicate
compilation.
The new command-line syntax is:
$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
--export vhost-user-blk,node-name=drive0,id=export0,unix-socket=/tmp/vhost-user-blk.sock
Note that unix-socket is optional because we may wish to accept chardevs
too in the future.
Markus noted that supported address families are not explicit in the
QAPI schema. It is unlikely that support for more address families will
be added since file descriptor passing is required and few address
families support it. If a new address family needs to be added, then the
QAPI 'features' syntax can be used to advertize them.

Note that this is different from the 'name' option in the NBD server,

multiple NBD servers can have the same export name externally, but still

Every block export needs a block node to export, so add a 'node-name'
option to BlockExportOptions and remove the replaced option 'device'
from BlockExportOptionsNbd.
To maintain compatibility in nbd-server-add, BlockExportOptionsNbd needs
to be wrapped by a new type NbdServerAddOptions that adds 'device' back
because nbd-server-add doesn't use the BlockExportOptions base type at
all (so even without changing it to a 'node-name' option in
block-export-add, this compatibility code would be necessary).
