f791bf7f93 assertions for block global state API
All the global state (GS) API functions will check that
qemu_in_main_thread() returns true. If not, it means
that the safety of BQL cannot be guaranteed, and
they need to be moved to I/O.

113b727ce7 block/io: Update BSC only if want_zero is true
We update the block-status cache whenever we get new information from a
bdrv_co_block_status() call to the block driver.  However, if we have
passed want_zero=false to that call, it may flag areas containing zeroes
as data, and so we would update the block-status cache with wrong
information.

Therefore, we should not update the cache with want_zero=false.

cc07162953 block: introduce max_hw_iov for use in scsi-generic
Linux limits the size of iovecs to 1024 (UIO_MAXIOV in the kernel
sources, IOV_MAX in POSIX).  Because of this, on some host adapters
requests with many iovecs are rejected with -EINVAL by the
io_submit() or readv()/writev() system calls.

In fact, the same limit applies to SG_IO as well.  To fix both the
EINVAL and the possible performance issues from using fewer iovecs
than allowed by Linux (some HBAs have max_segments as low as 128),
introduce a separate entry in BlockLimits to hold the max_segments
value from sysfs.  This new limit is used only for SG_IO and clamped
to bs->bl.max_iov anyway, just like max_hw_transfer is clamped to
bs->bl.max_transfer.

39af49c0d7 block: make BlockLimits::max_pdiscard 64bit
We are going to support 64 bit discard requests. Now update the
limit variable. It's absolutely safe. The variable is set in some
drivers, and used in bdrv_co_pdiscard().

Update also max_pdiscard variable in bdrv_co_pdiscard(), so that
bdrv_co_pdiscard() is now prepared for 64bit requests. The remaining
logic including num, offset and bytes variables is already
supporting 64bit requests.

So the only thing that prevents 64 bit requests is limiting

We'll drop this limitation after updating all block drivers.

e75abedab7 block: use int64_t instead of uint64_t in driver write handlers
We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters
on all io paths.

Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for
fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk.

We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and
with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means
error).

So, convert driver write handlers parameters which are already 64bit to
signed type.

While being here, convert also flags parameter to be BdrvRequestFlags.

Now let's consider all callers. Simple

  git grep '\->bdrv_\(aio\|co\)_pwritev\(_part\)\?'

shows that's there three callers of driver function:

 bdrv_driver_pwritev() and bdrv_driver_pwritev_compressed() in
 block/io.c, both pass int64_t, checked by bdrv_check_qiov_request() to
 be non-negative.

 qcow2_save_vmstate() does bdrv_check_qiov_request().

Still, the functions may be called directly, not only by drv->...
Let's check:

git grep '\.bdrv_\(aio\|co\)_pwritev\(_part\)\?\s*=' | \
awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/,//' | sed 's/&//' | sort | uniq | \
while read func; do git grep "$func(" | \
grep -v "$func(BlockDriverState"; done

shows several callers:

qcow2:
  qcow2_co_truncate() write at most up to @offset, which is checked in
    generic qcow2_co_truncate() by bdrv_check_request().
  qcow2_co_pwritev_compressed_task() pass the request (or part of the
    request) that already went through normal write path, so it should
    be OK

qcow:
  qcow_co_pwritev_compressed() pass int64_t, it's updated by this patch

quorum:
  quorum_co_pwrite_zeroes() pass int64_t and int - OK

throttle:
  throttle_co_pwritev_compressed() pass int64_t, it's updated by this
  patch

vmdk:

0bc329fbb0 block: block-status cache for data regions
As we have attempted before
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-01/msg06451.html,
"file-posix: Cache lseek result for data regions";
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2021-02/msg00934.html,
"file-posix: Cache next hole"), this patch seeks to reduce the number of
SEEK_DATA/HOLE operations the file-posix driver has to perform.  The
main difference is that this time it is implemented as part of the
general block layer code.

The problem we face is that on some filesystems or in some
circumstances, SEEK_DATA/HOLE is unreasonably slow.  Given the
implementation is outside of qemu, there is little we can do about its
performance.

We have already introduced the want_zero parameter to
bdrv_co_block_status() to reduce the number of SEEK_DATA/HOLE calls
unless we really want zero information; but sometimes we do want that
information, because for files that consist largely of zero areas,
special-casing those areas can give large performance boosts.  So the
real problem is with files that consist largely of data, so that
inquiring the block status does not gain us much performance, but where
such an inquiry itself takes a lot of time.

To address this, we want to cache data regions.  Most of the time, when
bad performance is reported, it is in places where the image is iterated
over from start to end (qemu-img convert or the mirror job), so a simple
yet effective solution is to cache only the current data region.

(Note that only caching data regions but not zero regions means that
returning false information from the cache is not catastrophic: Treating
zeroes as data is fine.  While we try to invalidate the cache on zero
writes and discards, such incongruences may still occur when there are
other processes writing to the image.)

We only use the cache for nodes without children (i.e. protocol nodes),
because that is where the problem is: Drivers that rely on block-status
implementations outside of qemu (e.g. SEEK_DATA/HOLE).

87ab880252 block: Fix in_flight leak in request padding error path
When bdrv_pad_request() fails in bdrv_co_preadv_part(), bs->in_flight
has been increased, but is never decreased again. This leads to a hang
when trying to drain the block node.

This bug was observed with Windows guests which issue a request that
fully uses IOV_MAX during installation, so that when padding is
necessary (O_DIRECT with a 4k sector size block device on the host),
adding another entry causes failure.

Call bdrv_dec_in_flight() to fix this. There is a larger problem to
solve here because this request shouldn't even fail, but Windows doesn't
seem to care and with this minimal fix the installation succeeds. So
given that we're already in freeze, let's take this minimal fix for 6.1.

24b36e9813 block: add max_hw_transfer to BlockLimits
For block host devices, I/O can happen through either the kernel file
descriptor I/O system calls (preadv/pwritev, io_submit, io_uring)
or the SCSI passthrough ioctl SG_IO.

In the latter case, the size of each transfer can be limited by the
HBA, while for file descriptor I/O the kernel is able to split and
merge I/O in smaller pieces as needed.  Applying the HBA limits to
file descriptor I/O results in more system calls and suboptimal
performance, so this patch splits the max_transfer limit in two:
max_transfer remains valid and is used in general, while max_hw_transfer
is limited to the maximum hardware size.  max_hw_transfer can then be
included by the scsi-generic driver in the block limits page, to ensure
that the stricter hardware limit is used.

We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and

So, prepare bdrv_co_preadv_part() and bdrv_co_pwritev_part() and their

bdrv_pad_request() is updated simultaneously, as pointer to bytes passed
to it both from bdrv_co_pwritev_part() and bdrv_co_preadv_part().

So, all callers of bdrv_pad_request() are updated to pass 64bit bytes.
bdrv_pad_request() is already good for 64bit requests, add
corresponding assertion.

Look at bdrv_co_preadv_part() and bdrv_co_pwritev_part().
Type is widening, so callers are safe. Let's look inside the functions.

In bdrv_co_preadv_part() and bdrv_aligned_pwritev() we only pass bytes
to other already int64_t interfaces (and some obviously safe
calculations), it's OK.

In bdrv_co_do_zero_pwritev() aligned_bytes may become large now, still
it's passed to bdrv_aligned_pwritev which supports int64_t bytes.

Make the bytes variable in bdrv_padding_rmw_read() int64_t, as it is
only used for pass-through to bdrv_aligned_preadv().

All bdrv_aligned_preadv() callers are safe as type is widening. Let's
look inside:

 - add a new-style assertion that request is good.
 - callees bdrv_is_allocated(), bdrv_co_do_copy_on_readv() supports
   int64_t bytes
 - conversion of bytes_remaining is OK, as we never have requests
   overflowing BDRV_MAX_LENGTH
 - looping through bytes_remaining is ok, num is updated to int64_t
   - for bdrv_driver_preadv we have same limit of max_transfer
   - qemu_iovec_memset is OK, as bytes+qiov_offset should not overflow
     qiov->size anyway (thanks to bdrv_check_qiov_request())

9df5afbdd1 block/io: support int64_t bytes in bdrv_co_do_copy_on_readv()
We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters
on all io paths.

Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for
fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk.

We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and
with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means
error).

So, prepare bdrv_co_do_copy_on_readv() now.

'bytes' type widening, so callers are safe. Look at the function
itself:

bytes, skip_bytes and progress become int64_t.

bdrv_round_to_clusters() is OK, cluster_bytes now may be large.
trace_bdrv_co_do_copy_on_readv() is OK

looping through cluster_bytes is still OK.

pnum is still capped to max_transfer, and to MAX_BOUNCE_BUFFER when we
are going to do COR operation. Therefor calculations in
qemu_iovec_from_buf() and bdrv_driver_preadv() should not change.

fcfd9ade68 block/io: support int64_t bytes in bdrv_aligned_pwritev()
We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters

Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for
fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk.

We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and

So, prepare bdrv_aligned_pwritev() now and convert the dependencies:
bdrv_co_write_req_prepare() and bdrv_co_write_req_finish() to signed
type bytes.

Conversion of bdrv_co_write_req_prepare() and
bdrv_co_write_req_finish() is definitely safe, as all requests in
block/io must not overflow BDRV_MAX_LENGTH. Still add assertions.

For bdrv_aligned_pwritev() 'bytes' type is widened, so callers are
safe. Let's check usage of the parameter inside the function.

Passing to bdrv_co_write_req_prepare() and bdrv_co_write_req_finish()
is OK.

Passing to qemu_iovec_* is OK after new assertion. All other callees
are already updated to int64_t.

Checking alignment is not changed, offset + bytes and qiov_offset +
bytes calculations are safe (thanks to new assertions).

max_transfer is kept to be int for now. It has a default of INT_MAX
here, and some drivers may rely on it. It's to be refactored later.

960d5fb3e8 block: Fix deadlock in bdrv_co_yield_to_drain()
If bdrv_co_yield_to_drain() is called for draining a block node that
runs in a different AioContext, it keeps that AioContext locked while it
yields and schedules a BH in the AioContext to do the actual drain.

As long as executing the BH is the very next thing that the event loop
of the node's AioContext does, this actually happens to work, but when
it tries to execute something else that wants to take the AioContext
lock, it will deadlock. (In the bug report, this other thing is a
virtio-scsi device running virtio_scsi_data_plane_handle_cmd().)

Instead, always drop the AioContext lock across the yield and reacquire
it only when the coroutine is reentered. The BH needs to unconditionally
take the lock for itself now.

This fixes the 'block_resize' QMP command on a block node that runs in
an iothread.

8b1170012b block: introduce BDRV_MAX_LENGTH
We are going to modify block layer to work with 64bit requests. And
first step is moving to int64_t type for both offset and bytes
arguments in all block request related functions.

It's mostly safe (when widening signed or unsigned int to int64_t), but
switching from uint64_t is questionable.

So, let's first establish the set of requests we want to work with.
First signed int64_t should be enough, as off_t is signed anyway. Then,
obviously offset + bytes should not overflow.

And most interesting: (offset + bytes) being aligned up should not
overflow as well. Aligned to what alignment? First thing that comes in
mind is bs->bl.request_alignment, as we align up request to this
alignment. But there is another thing: look at
bdrv_mark_request_serialising(). It aligns request up to some given
alignment. And this parameter may be bdrv_get_cluster_size(), which is
often a lot greater than bs->bl.request_alignment.
Note also, that bdrv_mark_request_serialising() uses signed int64_t for
calculations. So, actually, we already depend on some restrictions.

Happily, bdrv_get_cluster_size() returns int and
bs->bl.request_alignment has 32bit unsigned type, but defined to be a
power of 2 less than INT_MAX. So, we may establish, that INT_MAX is
absolute maximum for any kind of alignment that may occur with the
request.

Note, that bdrv_get_cluster_size() is not documented to return power
of 2, still bdrv_mark_request_serialising() behaves like it is.
Also, backup uses bdi.cluster_size and is not prepared to it not being
power of 2.
So, let's establish that Qemu supports only power-of-2 clusters and
alignments.

So, alignment can't be greater than 2^30.

Finally to be safe with calculations, to not calculate different
maximums for different nodes (depending on cluster size and
request_alignment), let's simply set QEMU_ALIGN_DOWN(INT64_MAX, 2^30)
as absolute maximum bytes length for Qemu. Actually, it's not much less
than INT64_MAX.

OK, then, let's apply it to block/io.

Let's consider all block/io entry points of offset/bytes:

4 bytes/offset interface functions: bdrv_co_preadv_part(),
bdrv_co_pwritev_part(), bdrv_co_copy_range_internal() and
bdrv_co_pdiscard() and we check them all with bdrv_check_request().

We also have one entry point with only offset: bdrv_co_truncate().
Check the offset.

And one public structure: BdrvTrackedRequest. Happily, it has only
three external users:

 file-posix.c: adopted by this patch
 write-threshold.c: only read fields
 test-write-threshold.c: sets obviously small constant values

Better is to make the structure private and add corresponding
interfaces.. Still it's not obvious what kind of interface is needed
for file-posix.c. Let's keep it public but add corresponding
assertions.

After this patch we'll convert functions in block/io.c to int64_t bytes
and offset parameters. We can assume that offset/bytes pair always
satisfy new restrictions, and make
corresponding assertions where needed. If we reach some offset/bytes
point in block/io.c missing bdrv_check_request() it is considered a
bug. As well, if block/io.c modifies a offset/bytes request, expanding
it more then aligning up to request_alignment, it's a bug too.

For all io requests except for discard we keep for now old restriction
of 32bit request length.

iotest 206 output error message changed, as now test disk size is
larger than new limit. Add one more test case with new maximum disk
size to cover too-big-L1 case.

f4dad307ef block/io: bdrv_check_byte_request(): drop bdrv_is_inserted()
Move bdrv_is_inserted() calls into callers.

We are going to make bdrv_check_byte_request() a clean thing.
bdrv_is_inserted() is not about checking the request, it's about
checking the bs. So, it should be separate.

With this patch we probably change error path for some failure
scenarios. But depending on the fact that querying too big request on
empty cdrom (or corrupted qcow2 node with no drv) will result in EIO
and not ENOMEDIUM would be very strange. More over, we are going to
move to 64bit requests, so larger requests will be allowed anyway.

More over, keeping in mind that cdrom is the only driver that has
.bdrv_is_inserted() handler it's strange that we should care so much
about it in generic block layer, intuitively we should just do read and
write, and cdrom driver should return correct errors if it is not
inserted. But it's a work for another series.

1a6d3bd229 block: End quiescent sections when a BDS is deleted
If a BDS gets deleted during blk_drain_all(), it might miss a
call to bdrv_do_drained_end(). This means missing a call to
aio_enable_external() and the AIO context remains disabled for
ever. This can cause a device to become irresponsive and to
disrupt the guest execution, ie. hang, loop forever or worse.

This scenario is quite easy to encounter with virtio-scsi
on POWER when punching multiple blockdev-create QMP commands
while the guest is booting and it is still running the SLOF
firmware. This happens because SLOF disables/re-enables PCI
devices multiple times via IO/MEM/MASTER bits of PCI_COMMAND
register after the initial probe/feature negotiation, as it
tends to work with a single device at a time at various stages
like probing and running block/network bootloaders without
doing a full reset in-between. This naturally generates many
dataplane stops and starts, and thus many drain sections that
can race with blockdev_create_run(). In the end, SLOF bails
out.

It is somehow reproducible on x86 but it requires to generate
articial dataplane start/stop activity with stop/cont QMP
commands. In this case, seabios ends up looping for ever,
waiting for the virtio-scsi device to send a response to
a command it never received.

Add a helper that pairs all previously called bdrv_do_drained_begin()
with a bdrv_do_drained_end() and call it from bdrv_close().
While at it, update the "/bdrv-drain/graph-change/drain_all"
test in test-bdrv-drain so that it can catch the issue.

46cd1e8a47 qcow2: Skip copy-on-write when allocating a zero cluster
Since commit c8bb23cbdb when a write
request results in a new allocation QEMU first tries to see if the
rest of the cluster outside the written area contains only zeroes.

In that case, instead of doing a normal copy-on-write operation and
writing explicit zero buffers to disk, the code zeroes the whole
cluster efficiently using pwrite_zeroes() with BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK.

This improves performance very significantly but it only happens when
we are writing to an area that was completely unallocated before. Zero
clusters (QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_*) are treated like normal clusters and
are therefore slower to allocate.

This happens because the code uses bdrv_is_allocated_above() rather
bdrv_block_status_above(). The former is not as accurate for this
purpose but it is faster. However in the case of qcow2 the underlying
call does already report zero clusters just fine so there is no reason
why we cannot use that information.

After testing 4KB writes on an image that only contains zero clusters
this patch results in almost five times more IOPS.
