0ebd24e0a2 blockdev: Don't disable COR automatically with blockdev-add
If a read-only device is configured with copy-on-read=on, the old code
only prints a warning and automatically disables copy on read. Make it
a real error for blockdev-add.

8f94a6e40e block: Improve driver whitelist checks
The main intent of this patch is to consolidate the whitelist checks to
a single point in the code instead of spreading it everywhere. This adds
a nicer error message for read-only whitelisting, too, in places where
it was still missing.

The patch also contains a bonus bug fix: By finding the format first in
bdrv_open() and then independently checking against the whitelist only
later, we avoid the case that use of a non-whitelisted format results in
probing rather than an error message. Previously, this could happen when
using the driver=... option.

893a8f6220 block: Produce zeros when protocols reading beyond end of file
While Asias is debugging an issue creating qcow2 images on top of
non-file protocols.  It boils down to this example using NBD:

$ qemu-io -c 'open -g nbd+unix:///?socket=/tmp/nbd.sock' -c 'read -v 0 512'

Notice the open -g option to set bs->growable.  This means you can
read/write beyond end of file.  Reading beyond end of file is supposed
to produce zeroes.

We rely on this behavior in qcow2_create2() during qcow2 image
creation.  We create a new file and then write the qcow2 header
structure using bdrv_pwrite().  Since QCowHeader is not a multiple of
sector size, block.c first uses bdrv_read() on the empty file to fetch
the first sector (should be all zeroes).

Here is the output from the qemu-io NBD example above:

$ qemu-io -c 'open -g nbd+unix:///?socket=/tmp/nbd.sock' -c 'read -v 0 512'
00000000:  ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab  ................
00000010:  ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab  ................
00000020:  ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab  ................
...

We are not zeroing the buffer!  As a result qcow2 image creation on top
of protocols is not guaranteed to work even when file creation is
supported by the protocol.

[Adapted this patch to use bs->zero_beyond_eof.

-qcow2 022. This happens because qcow2 temporarily sets ->growable = 1
for vmstate accesses (which are stored beyond the end of regular image
data).

disable ->zero_beyond_eof temporarily in addition to enable ->growable.

88266f5aa7 block: stop relying on io_flush() in bdrv_drain_all()
If a block driver has no file descriptors to monitor but there are still
active requests, it can return 1 from .io_flush().  This is used to spin
during synchronous I/O.

Stop relying on .io_flush() and instead check
QLIST_EMPTY(&bs->tracked_requests) to decide whether there are active
requests.

This is the first step in removing .io_flush() so that event loops no
longer need to have the concept of synchronous I/O.  Eventually we may
be able to kill synchronous I/O completely by running everything in a
coroutine, but that is future work.

Note this patch moves bs->throttled_reqs initialization to bdrv_new() so
that bdrv_requests_pending(bs) can safely access it.  In practice bs is
g_malloc0() so the memory is already zeroed but it's safer to initialize
the queue properly.

We also need to fix up block/stream.c:close_unused_images() to prevent
traversing a dangling pointer while it rearranges the backing file
chain.  This is necessary since the new bdrv_drain_all() traverses the
backing file chain.

if a driver needs to explicitly set this value to

both protocols support host_devices as backend
which are not by default zero initialized. this
wrong assumption will lead to possible corruption
if qemu-img convert is used to write to such a backend.

vpc and vmdk also defaulted to 1 altough they support
fixed respectively flat extends. this has to be addresses
in separate patches. both formats as well as the mentioned
ssh and gluster are turned to the default of 0 with this
patch for safety.

a similar problem with the wrong default existed for
iscsi most likely because the driver developer did
oversee the default value of 1.

d616b22474 block: add bdrv_add_before_write_notifier()
The bdrv_add_before_write_notifier() function installs a callback that
is invoked before a write request is processed.  This will be used to
implement copy-on-write point-in-time snapshots where we need to copy
out old data before overwriting it.

Note that BdrvTrackedRequest is moved to block_int.h since it is passed
to .notify() functions.

50b05b6f2e block: Always enable discard on the protocol level
Turning on discard options in qcow2 doesn't help a lot when the discard
requests that it issues are thrown away by the raw-posix layer. This
patch always enables discard functionality on the protocol level so that
it's the image format's responsibility to send (or not) discard
requests. Requests sent by the guest will be allowed or ignored by the
top level BlockDriverState, which depends on the discard=... option like
before.

In particular, this means that even without specifying options, the
qcow2 default of discarding deleted snapshots actually takes effect now,
both for qemu and qemu-img.
