This commit adds an Error ** argument to bdrv_img_create() and set it
appropriately on error.

Callers of bdrv_img_create() pass NULL for the new argument and still
rely on bdrv_img_create()'s return value. Next commits will change
callers to use the Error object instead.

2d0d2837dc Support default block interfaces per QEMUMachine
There are QEMUMachines that have neither IF_IDE nor IF_SCSI as a
default/standard interface to their block devices / drives. Therefore,
this patch introduces a new field default_block_type per QEMUMachine
struct. The prior use_scsi field becomes thereby obsolete and is
replaced through .default_block_type = IF_SCSI.

This patch also changes the default for s390x to IF_VIRTIO and
removes an early hack that converts IF_IDE drives.
Other parties have already claimed interest (e.g. IF_SD for exynos)

To create a sane default, for machines that dont specify a
default_block_type, this patch makes IF_IDE = 0 and IF_NONE = 1.
I checked all users of IF_NONE (blockdev.c and ww/device-hotplug.c)
as well as IF_IDE and it seems that it is ok to change the defines -
in other words, I found no obvious (to me) assumption in the code
regarding IF_NONE==0. IF_NONE is only set if there is an
explicit if=none. Without if=* the interface becomes IF_DEFAULT.

I would suggest to have some additional care, e.g. by letting
this patch sit some days in the block tree.

Based on an initial patch from Einar Lueck <elelueck@de.ibm.com>

Releases of qemu-kvm will be interrupted at qemu 1.3.0.

To avoid breaking scenarios which are setup with command line

b952b5589a mirror: add support for on-source-error/on-target-error
Error management is important for mirroring; otherwise, an error on the
target (even something as "innocent" as ENOSPC) requires to start again
with a full copy.  Similar to on_read_error/on_write_error, two separate
knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes).
The default is 'report' for both.

The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be
retried later.  Thus, it will not cause corruption.

aeae883baf block: add block-job-complete
While streaming can be dropped as soon as it progressed through the whole
image, mirroring needs to be completed manually for two reasons: 1) so that
management knows exactly when the VM switches to the target; 2) because
for other use cases such as replication, we may leave the operation running
for the whole life of the virtual machine.

d5208c45be block: in commit, determine base image from the top image
This simplifies some code and error checking, and also fixes a bug.

bdrv_find_backing_image() should only be passed absolute filenames,
or filenames relative to the chain.  In the QMP message handler for
block commit, when looking up the base do so from the determined top
image, so we know it is reachable from top.

ed61fc10e8 QAPI: add command for live block commit, 'block-commit'
The command for live block commit is added, which has the following
arguments:

device: the block device to perform the commit on (mandatory)
base:   the base image to commit into; optional (if not specified,
        it is the underlying original image)
top:    the top image of the commit - all data from inside top down
        to base will be committed into base (mandatory for now; see
        note, below)

speed:  maximum speed, in bytes/sec

Note: Eventually this command will support merging down the active layer,
      but that code is not yet complete.  If the active layer is passed
      in as top, then an error will be returned.  Once merging down the
      active layer is supported, the 'top' argument may become optional,
      and default to the active layer.

The is done as a block job, so upon completion a BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED will
be emitted.

c8057f951d Support 'help' as a synonym for '?' in command line options
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

usb-storage, which doesn't limit serial number length, also uses
DriveInfo for -usbdevice.  But that doesn't provide access to

2b584959ed block: Geometry and translation hints are now useless, purge them
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.

8be7e7e4c7 qemu-option: qemu_opts_create(): use error_set()
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

e88774971c block: handle -EBUSY in bdrv_commit_all()
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.

8802d1fdd4 qapi: Introduce blockdev-group-snapshot-sync command
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.
