8d278467ff block: Remove type hint, it's guest matter, doesn't belong here
No users of bdrv_get_type_hint() left.  bdrv_set_type_hint() can make
the media removable by side effect.  Make that explicit.

d22b2f41c4 Do not delete BlockDriverState when deleting the drive
When removing a drive from the host-side via drive_del we currently have
the following path:

drive_del
qemu_aio_flush()
bdrv_close()    // zaps bs->drv, which makes any subsequent I/O get
                // dropped.  Works as designed
drive_uninit()
bdrv_delete()   // frees the bs.  Since the device is still connected to
                // bs, any subsequent I/O is a use-after-free.

The value of bs->drv becomes unpredictable on free.  As long as it
remains null, I/O still gets dropped, however it could become non-null
at any point after the free resulting SEGVs or other QEMU state
corruption.

To resolve this issue as simply as possible, we can chose to not
actually delete the BlockDriverState pointer.  Since bdrv_close()
handles setting the drv pointer to NULL, we just need to remove the
BlockDriverState from the QLIST that is used to enumerate the block
devices.  This is currently handled within bdrv_delete, so move this
into its own function, bdrv_make_anon().

The result is that we can now invoke drive_del, this closes the file
descriptors and sets BlockDriverState->drv to NULL which prevents futher
IO to the device, and since we do not free BlockDriverState, we don't
have to worry about the copy retained in the block devices.

We also don't attempt to remove the qdev property since we are no longer
deleting the BlockDriverState on drives with associated drives.  This
also allows for removing Drives with no devices associated either.

7d0d69509a block: Fix virtual media change for if=none
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media
change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed.  It is set when
the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY.

The type hint is only set by drive_init().  It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY
for if=floppy.  It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide,
scsi, xen, or none.

if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM.
if=xen likewise, I think.

For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or
scsi-disk.  For other guest devices, there are problems:

* fdc: you can't change virtual media

    $ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo
    QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) eject foo
    Device 'foo' is not removable

  unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly.

* virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.  If
  you eject, the guest gets I/O errors.  If you change, the guest sees
  the drive's contents suddenly change.

* scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.
  I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device,
  but it can't be pretty.

feeee5aca7 savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshots
Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized.

First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing
and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten?
bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there
is snapshots or not.

Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or
not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image.

So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global
BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots().

static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void)
{
    BlockDriverState *bs;
    DriveInfo *dinfo;

    if (bs_snapshots)
        return bs_snapshots;
    QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
        bs = dinfo->bdrv;
        if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs))
            goto ok;
    }
    return NULL;
 ok:
    bs_snapshots = bs;
    return bs;
}

bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support
snapshots and do_savevm() goes on.

Later on in do_savevm(), we find:

    QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
        bs1 = dinfo->bdrv;
        if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) {
            /* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */
            sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0);
            ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn);
            if (ret < 0) {
                monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n",
                               bdrv_get_device_name(bs1));
            }
        }
    }

bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has
snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is
actually checked for snapshot support.

So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not,
the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good
behavior. It should be an all or nothing process.

This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do
what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of
do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot()
where appropriate.

bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me.

The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at
least all writable devices must support snapshots too.

016f5cf6ff Add cache=unsafe parameter to -drive
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.

So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",
as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.

This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO

84a12e6648 block: separate raw images from the file protocol
We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.

This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.

The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.

For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.

The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation.  Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img.  I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.

There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.

Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.

Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin
and me, which should all be in his block queue.

6db956039d block: get rid of the BDRV_O_FILE flag
BDRV_O_FILE is only used to communicate between bdrv_file_open and bdrv_open.
It affects two things:  first bdrv_open only searches for protocols using
find_protocol instead of all image formats and host drivers.  We can easily
move that to the caller and pass the found driver to bdrv_open.  Second
it is used to not force a read-write open of a snapshot file.  But we never
use bdrv_file_open to open snapshots and this behaviour doesn't make sense
to start with.

qemu-io abused the BDRV_O_FILE for it's growable option, switch it to
using bdrv_file_open to make sure we only open files as growable were
we can actually support that.

6ea44308b0 block migration: Rework constants API
Instead of duplicating the definition of constants or introducing

7cd1e32a86 Expose a mechanism to trace block writes
To support live migration without shared storage we need to be able to trace
writes to disk while migrating. This Patch expose dirty block tracking per
device to be polled from upper layer.

Changes from v4:
- Register dirty tracking for each block device.
- Minor coding style issues.
- Block.c will now manage a dirty bitmap per device once
  bdrv_set_dirty_tracking() is called. Bitmap is polled by the upper
  layer (block-migration.c).

eb852011ab Configurable block format whitelist
We have code for a quite a few block formats.  While I trust that all
of these formats are useful at least for some people in some
circumstances, some of them are of a kind that friends don't let
friends use in production.

This patch provides an optional block format whitelist, default off.
If a whitelist is configured with --block-drv-whitelist, QEMU proper
can use only whitelisted formats.  Other programs, like qemu-img, are
not affected.

Drivers for formats off the whitelist still participate in format
probing, to ensure all programs probe exactly the same.  Without that,
QEMU proper would be prone to treat images with a format off the
whitelist as raw when the image's format is probed.

59f2689d90 Added readonly flag to -drive command
This is a slightly revised patch for adding readonly flag to the -drive command.
Even though this patch is "stand-alone", it assumes a previous related patch (in Anthony staging tree), that passes
the readonly attribute of the drive to the guest OS, applied first.

This enables sharing same image between guests, with readonly access.
Implementaion mark the drive as read_only and changes the flags when actually opening the file.
The readonly attribute of a qcow also passed to it's base file.
For ide that cannot pass the readonly attribute to the guest OS, disallow the readonly flag.

Also, return error code from bdrv_truncate for readonly drive.

b2e12bc6e3 block: add aio_flush operation
Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it
asynchronously.  Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an
asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix.  Note that while Linux AIO
implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because
it isn't actually implement in asynchronous fashion.

e900a7b748 block: add enable_write_cache flag
Add a enable_write_cache flag in the block driver state, and use it to
decide if we claim to have a volatile write cache that needs controlled
flushing from the guest.  The flag is off if cache=writethrough is
defined because O_DSYNC guarantees that every write goes to stable
storage, and it is on for cache=none and cache=writeback.

Both scsi-disk and ide now use the new flage, changing from their
defaults of always off (ide) or always on (scsi-disk).

40b4f53967 Add bdrv_aio_multiwrite
One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.

Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can
avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place.

As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less
and larger requests.
