3482b9bc41 block: Pass unaligned discard requests to drivers
Discard is advisory, so rounding the requests to alignment
boundaries is never semantically wrong from the data that
the guest sees.  But at least the Dell Equallogic iSCSI SANs
has an interesting property that its advertised discard
alignment is 15M, yet documents that discarding a sequence
of 1M slices will eventually result in the 15M page being
marked as discarded, and it is possible to observe which
pages have been discarded.

Between commits 9f1963b and b8d0a980, we converted the block
layer to a byte-based interface that ultimately ignores any
unaligned head or tail based on the driver's advertised
discard granularity, which means that qemu 2.7 refuses to
pass any discard request smaller than 15M down to the Dell
Equallogic hardware.  This is a slight regression in behavior
compared to earlier qemu, where a guest executing discards
in power-of-2 chunks used to be able to get every page
discarded, but is now left with various pages still allocated
because the guest requests did not align with the hardware's
15M pages.

Since the SCSI specification says nothing about a minimum
discard granularity, and only documents the preferred
alignment, it is best if the block layer gives the driver
every bit of information about discard requests, rather than
rounding it to alignment boundaries early.

Rework the block layer discard algorithm to mirror the write
zero algorithm: always peel off any unaligned head or tail
and manage that in isolation, then do the bulk of the request
on an aligned boundary.  The fallback when the driver returns
-ENOTSUP for an unaligned request is to silently ignore that
portion of the discard request; but for devices that can pass
the partial request all the way down to hardware, this can
result in the hardware coalescing requests and discarding
aligned pages after all.

b2f95feec5 block: Let write zeroes fallback work even with small max_transfer
Commit 443668ca rewrote the write_zeroes logic to guarantee that
an unaligned request never crosses a cluster boundary.  But
in the rewrite, the new code assumed that at most one iteration
would be needed to get to an alignment boundary.

However, it is easy to trigger an assertion failure: the Linux
kernel limits loopback devices to advertise a max_transfer of
only 64k.  Any operation that requires falling back to writes
rather than more efficient zeroing must obey max_transfer during
that fallback, which means an unaligned head may require multiple
iterations of the write fallbacks before reaching the aligned
boundaries, when layering a format with clusters larger than 64k
atop the protocol of file access to a loopback device.

Test case:

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o cluster_size=1M file 10M
$ losetup /dev/loop2 /path/to/file
$ qemu-io -f qcow2 /dev/loop2
qemu-io> w 7m 1k
qemu-io> w -z 8003584 2093056

In fairness to Denis (as the original listed author of the culprit
commit), the faulty logic for at most one iteration is probably all
my fault in reworking his idea.  But the solution is to restore what
was in place prior to that commit: when dealing with an unaligned
head or tail, iterate as many times as necessary while fragmenting
the operation at max_transfer boundaries.

e6af1e0854 block: Don't mark node clean after failed flush
Commit 3ff2f67a changed bdrv_co_flush() so that no flush is issues if
the image hasn't been dirtied since the last flush. This is not quite
correct: The condition should be that the image hasn't been dirtied
since the last _successful_ flush. This patch changes the logic
accordingly.

Without this fix, subsequent bdrv_co_flush() calls would return success
without actually doing anything even though the image is still dirty.
The difference is visible in some blkdebug test cases where error
messages incorrectly disappeared after commit 3ff2f67a.

c0778f6693 block: Add bdrv_drain_all_{begin,end}()
bdrv_drain_all() doesn't allow the caller to do anything after all
pending requests have been completed but before block jobs are
resumed.

This patch splits bdrv_drain_all() into _begin() and _end() for that
purpose. It also adds aio_{disable,enable}_external() calls to disable
external clients in the meantime.

An important restriction of this split is that no new block jobs or
BlockDriverStates can be created between the bdrv_drain_all_begin()
and bdrv_drain_all_end() calls. This is not a concern now because
we'll only be using this in bdrv_reopen_multiple(), but it must be
dealt with if we ever have other uses cases in the future.

c9d1a56174 block: only call aio_poll on the current thread's AioContext
aio_poll is not thread safe; for example bdrv_drain can hang if
the last in-flight I/O operation is completed in the I/O thread after
the main thread has checked bs->in_flight.

The bug remains latent as long as all of it is called within
aio_context_acquire/aio_context_release, but this will change soon.

To fix this, if bdrv_drain is called from outside the I/O thread,
signal the main AioContext through a dummy bottom half.  The event
loop then only runs in the I/O thread.

d42cf28837 block: change drain to look only at one child at a time
bdrv_requests_pending is checking children to also wait until internal
requests (such as metadata writes) have completed.  However, checking
children is in general overkill.  Children requests can be of two kinds:

- requests caused by an operation on bs, e.g. a bdrv_aio_write to bs
causing a write to bs->file->bs.  In this case, the parent's in_flight
count will always be incremented by at least one for every request in
the child.

- asynchronous metadata writes or flushes.  Such writes can be started
even if bs's in_flight count is zero, but not after the .bdrv_drain
callback has been invoked.

This patch therefore changes bdrv_drain to finish I/O in the parent
(after which the parent's in_flight will be locked to zero), call
bdrv_drain (after which the parent will not generate I/O on the child
anymore), and then wait for internal I/O in the children to complete.

4085f5c7a2 block: reintroduce bdrv_flush_all
Commit fe1a9cbc moved the flush_all routine from the bdrv layer to the
block-backend layer. In doing so, however, the semantics of the routine
changed slightly such that flush_all now used blk_flush instead of
bdrv_flush.

blk_flush can fail if the attached device model reports that it is not
"available," (i.e. the tray is open.) This changed the semantics of
flush_all such that it can now fail for e.g. open CDROM drives.

Reintroduce bdrv_flush_all to regain the old semantics without having to
alter the behavior of blk_flush or blk_flush_all, which are already
'doing the right thing.'

For bdrv_pwrite_compressed() it looks like most of the code creating

    block: ignore flush requests when storage is clean
has introduced a regression.

There is a problem that it is still possible for 2 requests to execute
in non sequential fashion and sometimes this results in a deadlock
when bdrv_drain_one/all are called for BDS with such stalled requests.

1. Current flushed_gen and flush_started_gen is 1.
2. Request 1 enters bdrv_co_flush to with write_gen 1 (i.e. the same
   as flushed_gen). It gets past flushed_gen != flush_started_gen and
   sets flush_started_gen to 1 (again, the same it was before).
3. Request 1 yields somewhere before exiting bdrv_co_flush
4. Request 2 enters bdrv_co_flush with write_gen 2. It gets past
   flushed_gen != flush_started_gen and sets flush_started_gen to 2.
5. Request 2 runs to completion and sets flushed_gen to 2
6. Request 1 is resumed, runs to completion and sets flushed_gen to 1.
   However flush_started_gen is now 2.

From here on out flushed_gen is always != to flush_started_gen and all
further requests will wait on flush_queue. This change replaces
flush_started_gen with an explicitly tracked active flush request.

b8d0a9804d block: Cater to iscsi with non-power-of-2 discard
Dell Equallogic iSCSI SANs have a very unusual advertised geometry:

$ iscsi-inq -e 1 -c $((0xb0)) iscsi://XXX/0
wsnz:0
maximum compare and write length:1
optimal transfer length granularity:0
maximum transfer length:0
optimal transfer length:0
maximum prefetch xdread xdwrite transfer length:0
maximum unmap lba count:30720
maximum unmap block descriptor count:2
optimal unmap granularity:30720
ugavalid:1
unmap granularity alignment:0
maximum write same length:30720

which says that both the maximum and the optimal discard size
is 15M.  It is not immediately apparent if the device allows
discard requests not aligned to the optimal size, nor if it
allows discards at a finer granularity than the optimal size.

I tried to find details in the SCSI Commands Reference Manual
Rev. A on what valid values of maximum and optimal sizes are
permitted, but while that document mentions a "Block Limits
VPD Page", I couldn't actually find documentation of that page
or what values it would have, or if a SCSI device has an
advertisement of its minimal unmap granularity.  So it is not
obvious to me whether the Dell Equallogic device is compliance
with the SCSI specification.

Fortunately, it is easy enough to support non-power-of-2 sizing,
even if it means we are less efficient than truly possible when
targetting that device (for example, it means that we refuse to
unmap anything that is not a multiple of 15M and aligned to a
15M boundary, even if the device truly does support a smaller
granularity where unmapping actually works).

9f1963b3f7 block: Convert bdrv_co_discard() to byte-based
Another step towards byte-based interfaces everywhere.  Replace
the sector-based bdrv_co_discard() with a new byte-based
bdrv_co_pdiscard(), which silently ignores any unaligned head
or tail.  Driver callbacks will be converted in followup patches.

By calculating the alignment outside of the loop, and clamping
the max discard to an aligned value, we can simplify the actions
done within the loop.

04ed95f484 block: Fragment writes to max transfer length
Drivers should be able to rely on the block layer honoring the
max transfer length, rather than needing to return -EINVAL
(iscsi) or manually fragment things (nbd).  We already fragment
write zeroes at the block layer; this patch adds the fragmentation
for normal writes, after requests have been aligned (fragmenting
before alignment would lead to multiple unaligned requests, rather
than just the head and tail).

When fragmenting a large request where FUA was requested, but
where we know that FUA is implemented by flushing all requests
rather than the given request, then we can still get by with
only one flush.  Note, however, that we need a followup patch
to the raw format driver to avoid a regression in the number of
flushes actually issued.

The return value was previously nebulous on success (sometimes
zero, sometimes the length written); since we never have a short
write, and since fragmenting may store yet another positive
value in 'ret', change the function to always return 0 on success,
matching what we do in bdrv_aligned_preadv().

1a62d0accd block: Fragment reads to max transfer length
Drivers should be able to rely on the block layer honoring the
max transfer length, rather than needing to return -EINVAL
(iscsi) or manually fragment things (nbd).  This patch adds
the fragmentation in the block layer, after requests have been
aligned (fragmenting before alignment would lead to multiple
unaligned requests, rather than just the head and tail).

The return value was previously nebulous on success on whether
it was zero or the length read; and fragmenting may introduce
yet other non-zero values if we use the last length read.  But
as at least some callers are sloppy and expect only zero on
success, it is easiest to just guarantee 0.

[Fix uninitialized ret local variable in bdrv_aligned_preadv().

3ff2f67a7c block: ignore flush requests when storage is clean
Some guests (win2008 server for example) do a lot of unnecessary
flushing when underlying media has not changed. This adds additional
overhead on host when calling fsync/fdatasync.

This change introduces a write generation scheme in BlockDriverState.
Current write generation is checked against last flushed generation to
avoid unnessesary flushes.

The problem with excessive flushing was found by a performance test
which does parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes).
Results improved from 0.424 loops/sec to 0.432 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.

This affected some blkdebug testcases that were expecting error logs from
failure-injected flushes which are now skipped entirely
(tests 026 071 089).

This also affects the performance of block jobs and thus BLOCK_JOB_READY
events for driver-mirror and active block-commit commands now arrives
faster, before QMP send successfully returns to caller (tests 141 144).

0b8b8753e4 coroutine: move entry argument to qemu_coroutine_create
In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and
it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a
non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in
block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c).  So pass the opaque value
at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new.

Mostly done with the following semantic patch:

@ entry1 @
expression entry, arg, co;
@@
- co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
  ...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);

@ entry2 @
expression entry, arg;
identifier co;
@@
- Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
  ...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);

@ entry3 @
expression entry, arg;
@@
- qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry), arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg));

@ reentry @
expression co;
@@
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);

except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch
stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise
produce an uninitialized variable warning.

a03ef88f77 block: Convert bdrv_co_preadv/pwritev to BdrvChild
This is the final patch for converting the common I/O path to take
a BdrvChild parameter instead of BlockDriverState.

The completion of this conversion means that all users that perform I/O
on an image need to actually hold a reference (in the form of BdrvChild,
possible as part of a BlockBackend) to that image. This also protects
against inconsistent use of BlockBackend vs. BlockDriverState functions
because direct use of a BlockDriverState isn't possible any more and
blk->root is private for block-backends.c.

In addition, we can now distinguish different users in the I/O path,
and the future op blockers work is going to add assertions based on
permissions stored in BdrvChild.

During bdrv_merge_limits(), we were computing initial limits
based on another BDS in two places.  At first glance, the two
computations are not identical (one is doing straight copying,
the other is doing merging towards or away from zero) - but
when you realize that the first round is starting with all-0
memory, all of the merging happens to work.  Factoring out the
merging makes it easier to track how two BDS limits are merged,
in case we have future reasons to merge in even more limits.

b9f7855a50 block: Switch discard length bounds to byte-based
Sector-based limits are awkward to think about; in our on-going
quest to move to byte-based interfaces, convert max_discard and
discard_alignment.  Rename them, using 'pdiscard' as an aid to
track which remaining discard interfaces need conversion, and so
that the compiler will help us catch the change in semantics
across any rebased code.  The BlockLimits type is now completely
byte-based; and in iscsi.c, sector_limits_lun2qemu() is no
longer needed.

pdiscard_alignment is made unsigned (we use power-of-2 alignments
as bitmasks, where unsigned is easier to think about) while
leaving max_pdiscard signed (since we still have an 'int'
interface); this is comparable to what commit cf081fc did for
write zeroes limits.  We may later want to make everything an
unsigned 64-bit limit - but that requires a bigger code audit.

so that the compiler will help us catch the change in semantics

so that bit-twiddling is easier; however, we are still constrained
by 2^31 of signed int in most APIs.

When a value comes from an external source (iscsi and raw-posix),
sanitize the results to ensure that opt_transfer is a power of 2.
