Block jobs will run in the BlockDriverState's AioContext, which may not
always be the QEMU main loop.
There are some block layer APIs that are either not thread-safe or risk
lock ordering problems. This includes bdrv_unref(), bdrv_close(), and
anything that calls bdrv_drain_all().
The block_job_defer_to_main_loop() API allows a block job to schedule a

held.
This function will be used to perform cleanup and backing chain

Depending on the changed options and the image format,
bdrv_amend_options() may take a significant amount of time. In these
cases, a way to be informed about the operation's status is desirable.
Since the operation is rather complex and may fundamentally change the
image, implementing it as AIO or a coroutine does not seem feasible. On
the other hand, implementing it as a block job would be significantly
more difficult than a simple callback and would not add benefits other
than progress report to the amending operation, because it should not
actually be run as a block job at all.
A callback may not be very pretty, but it's very easy to implement and
perfectly fits its purpose here.

bdrv_make_empty() is currently only called if the current image
represents an external snapshot that has been committed to its base
image; it is therefore unlikely to have internal snapshots. In this
case, bdrv_make_empty() can be greatly sped up by emptying the L1 and
refcount table (while having the dirty flag set, which only works for
compat=1.1) and creating a trivial refcount structure.
If there are snapshots or for compat=0.10, fall back to the simple
implementation (discard all clusters).

The plan is to add new accounting metrics (latency, invalid requests, failed
requests, queue depth) and block.c is overpopulated so it will be better to work
in a separate module.
Moreover the long term plan is to have statistics in each of the BDS of the graph
for metrology purpose; this means that the device model statistics must move from
the topmost BDS to the device model.
So we need to decouple the statistic code from BlockDriverState.
This is another argument for the extraction of the code in a separate module.

So far, aio_poll's scheme was dispatch/poll/dispatch, where
the first dispatch phase was used only in the GSource case in
order to avoid a blocking poll. Earlier patches changed it to
dispatch/prepare/poll/dispatch, where prepare is aio_compute_timeout.
By making aio_dispatch public, we can remove the first dispatch
phase altogether, so that both aio_poll and the GSource use the same
prepare/poll/dispatch scheme.
This patch breaks the invariant that aio_poll(..., true) will not block
the first time it returns false. This used to be fundamental for
qemu_aio_flush's implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}" but
no code in QEMU relies on this invariant anymore. The return value
of aio_poll() is now comparable with that of g_main_context_iteration.

Right now, QEMU invokes aio_bh_poll before the "poll" phase
of aio_poll. It is simpler to do it afterwards and skip the
"poll" phase altogether when the OS-dependent parts of AioContext
are invoked from GSource. This way, AioContext behaves more
similarly when used as a GSource vs. when used as stand-alone.
As a start, take bottom halves into account when computing the
poll timeout. If a bottom half is ready, do a non-blocking
poll. As a side effect, this makes idle bottom halves work
with aio_poll; an improvement, but not really an important
one since they are deprecated.

Some block devices may not have a filename in their BDS; and for some,
there may not even be a normal filename at all. To work around this, add
a function which tries to construct a valid filename for the
BDS.filename field.
If a filename exists or a block driver is able to reconstruct a valid
filename (which is placed in BDS.exact_filename), this can directly be
used.
If no filename can be constructed, we can still construct an options
QDict which is then converted to a JSON object and prefixed with the
"json:" pseudo protocol prefix. The QDict is placed in
BDS.full_open_options.
For most block drivers, this process can be done automatically; those

A call to retrieve the image size converts between bytes and sectors

* refresh_total_sectors() converts to sectors, rounding up, and stores
in total_sectors.
* bdrv_getlength() converts total_sectors back to bytes (now rounded
up to a multiple of the sector size).
* Callers wanting sectors rather bytes convert it right back.
Example: bdrv_get_geometry().
bdrv_nb_sectors() provides a way to omit the last two conversions.
It's exactly bdrv_getlength() with the conversion to bytes omitted.
It's functionally like bdrv_get_geometry() without its odd error

Currently, whenever aio_poll(ctx, true) has completed all pending
work it returns true *and* the next call to aio_poll(ctx, true)
will not block.
This invariant has its roots in qemu_aio_flush()'s implementation
as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}". However, qemu_aio_flush() does
not exist anymore and bdrv_drain_all() is implemented differently;
and this invariant is complicated to maintain and subtly different
from the return value of GMainLoop's g_main_context_iteration.
All calls to aio_poll(ctx, true) except one are guarded by a
while() loop checking for a request to be incomplete, or a
BlockDriverState to be idle. The one remaining call (in
iothread.c) uses this to delay the aio_context_release/acquire
pair until the AioContext is quiescent, however:
- we can do the same just by using non-blocking aio_poll,
similar to how vl.c invokes main_loop_wait
- it is buggy, because it does not ensure that the AioContext
is released between an aio_notify and the next time the
iothread goes to sleep. This leads to hangs when stopping
the dataplane thread.
In the end, these semantics are a bad match for the current
users of AioContext. So modify that one exception in iothread.c,
which also fixes the hangs, as well as the testcase so that
it use the same idiom as the actual QEMU code.

In many cases, the call to event_notifier_set in aio_notify is unnecessary.
In particular, if we are executing aio_dispatch, or if aio_poll is not
blocking, we know that we will soon get to the next loop iteration (if
necessary); the thread that hosts the AioContext's event loop does not
need any nudging.
The patch includes a Promela formal model that shows that this really
works and does not need any further complication such as generation
counts. It needs a memory barrier though.
The generation counts are not needed because any change to
ctx->dispatching after the memory barrier is okay for aio_notify.
If it changes from zero to one, it is the right thing to skip
event_notifier_set. If it changes from one to zero, the
event_notifier_set is unnecessary but harmless.

On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block commit.
For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.
In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.
With this extension to the block-commit api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing
file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image
to modify in that case).
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to

Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest

performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW

For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.
But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.
[Fixed up 082.out due to the new 'nocow' creation option

When this flag is set, the server tells the client that it can send another
option if the server received a request with an option that it doesn't
understand instead of directly closing the connection.
Also add link to the most up-to-date documentation.
