470c05047a block: make copy-on-read a per-request flag
Previously copy-on-read could only be enabled for all requests to a
block device.  This means requests coming from the guest as well as
QEMU's internal requests would perform copy-on-read when enabled.

For image streaming we want to support finer-grained behavior than just
populating the image file from its backing image.  Image streaming
supports partial streaming where a common backing image is preserved.
In this case guest requests should not perform copy-on-read because they
would indiscriminately copy data which should be left in a backing image
from the backing chain.

Introduce a per-request flag for copy-on-read so that a block device can
process both regular and copy-on-read requests.  Overlapping reads and
writes still need to be serialized for correctness when copy-on-read is
happening, so add an in-flight reference count to track this.

922453bca6 block: convert qemu_aio_flush() calls to bdrv_drain_all()
Many places in QEMU call qemu_aio_flush() to complete all pending
asynchronous I/O.  Most of these places actually want to drain all block
requests but there is no block layer API to do so.

This patch introduces the bdrv_drain_all() API to wait for requests
across all BlockDriverStates to complete.  As a bonus we perform checks
after qemu_aio_wait() to ensure that requests really have finished.

0f15423c32 block: allow migration to work with image files (v3)
Image files have two types of data: immutable data that describes things like
image size, backing files, etc. and mutable data that includes offset and
reference count tables.

Today, image formats aggressively cache mutable data to improve performance.  In
some cases, this happens before a guest even starts.  When dealing with live
migration, since a file is open on two machines, the caching of meta data can
lead to data corruption.

This patch addresses this by introducing a mechanism to invalidate any cached
mutable data a block driver may have which is then used by the live migration
code.

NB, this still requires coherent shared storage.  Addressing migration without
coherent shared storage (i.e. NFS) requires additional work.

025ccaa7f9 block: add eject request callback
Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel
can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on
discs that aren't mounted.  Add support for these events in the ATAPI
and SCSI cd drive device models.

To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also
be added for "tray opened/closed".  This way, after issuing an "eject"
command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the
command.  They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been
opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout.  However,
with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models,
at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.

28a7282a5d block: Keep track of devices' I/O status
This commit adds support to the BlockDriverState type to keep track
of devices' I/O status.

There are three possible status: BDRV_IOS_OK (no error), BDRV_IOS_ENOSPC
(no space error) and BDRV_IOS_FAILED (any other error). The distinction
between no space and other errors is important because a management
application may want to watch for no space in order to extend the
space assigned to the VM and put it to run again.

Qemu devices supporting the I/O status feature have to enable it
explicitly by calling bdrv_iostatus_enable() _and_ have to be
configured to stop the VM on errors (ie. werror=stop|enospc or
rerror=stop).

In case of multiple errors being triggered in sequence only the first
one is stored. The I/O status is always reset to BDRV_IOS_OK when the
'cont' command is issued.

Next commits will add support to some devices and extend the
query-block/info block commands to return the I/O status information.

2c6942fa7b block: Clean up remaining users of "removable"
BlockDriverState member removable is a confused mess.  It is true when
an ide-cd, scsi-cd or floppy qdev is attached, or when the
BlockDriverState was created with -drive if={floppy,sd} or -drive
if={ide,scsi,xen,none},media=cdrom ("created removable"), except when
an ide-hd, scsi-hd, scsi-generic or virtio-blk qdev is attached.

Three users remain:

1. eject_device(), via bdrv_is_removable() uses it to determine
   whether a block device can eject media.

2. bdrv_info() is monitor command "info block".  QMP documentation
   says "true if the device is removable, false otherwise".  From the
   monitor user's point of view, the only sensible interpretation of
   "is removable" is "can eject media with monitor commands eject and
   change".

A block device can eject media unless a device is attached that
doesn't support it.  Switch the two users over to new
bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() that returns exactly that.

3. bdrv_getlength() uses to suppress its length cache when media can
   change (see commit 46a4e4e6).  Media change is either monitor
   command change (updates the length cache), monitor command eject
   (doesn't update the length cache, easily fixable), or physical
   media change (invalidates length cache, not so easily fixable).

I'm refraining from improving anything here, because this series is
long enough already.  Instead, I simply switch it over to
bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() as well.

This changes the behavior of the length cache and of monitor commands
eject and change in two cases:

a. drive not created removable, no device attached

   The commit makes the drive removable, and defeats the length cache.

   Example: -drive if=none

b. drive created removable, but the attached drive is non-removable,
   and doesn't call bdrv_set_removable(..., 0) (most devices don't)

   The commit makes the drive non-removable, and enables the length
   cache.

   Example: -drive if=xen,media=cdrom -M xenpv

   The other non-removable devices that don't call
   bdrv_set_removable() can't currently use a drive created removable,
   either because they aren't qdevified, or because they lack a drive
   property.  Won't stay that way.

d22b2f41c4 Do not delete BlockDriverState when deleting the drive
When removing a drive from the host-side via drive_del we currently have
the following path:

drive_del
qemu_aio_flush()
bdrv_close()    // zaps bs->drv, which makes any subsequent I/O get
                // dropped.  Works as designed
drive_uninit()
bdrv_delete()   // frees the bs.  Since the device is still connected to
                // bs, any subsequent I/O is a use-after-free.

The value of bs->drv becomes unpredictable on free.  As long as it
remains null, I/O still gets dropped, however it could become non-null
at any point after the free resulting SEGVs or other QEMU state
corruption.

To resolve this issue as simply as possible, we can chose to not
actually delete the BlockDriverState pointer.  Since bdrv_close()
handles setting the drv pointer to NULL, we just need to remove the
BlockDriverState from the QLIST that is used to enumerate the block
devices.  This is currently handled within bdrv_delete, so move this
into its own function, bdrv_make_anon().

The result is that we can now invoke drive_del, this closes the file
descriptors and sets BlockDriverState->drv to NULL which prevents futher
IO to the device, and since we do not free BlockDriverState, we don't
have to worry about the copy retained in the block devices.

We also don't attempt to remove the qdev property since we are no longer
deleting the BlockDriverState on drives with associated drives.  This
also allows for removing Drives with no devices associated either.

ceb25e5c75 block: Fix BDRV_O_CACHE_MASK
BDRV_O_CACHE_MASK should have been extended when cache=unsafe introduced a new
flag BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH. There are currently no users that would change their
behaviour because of this, but let's clean it up before things break.

199630b62e Fix -snapshot deleting images on disk change
Block device change command did not copy BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT flag. Thus
the new image did not have this flag and the file got deleted during
opening.

Fix by copying BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT flag.

e076f3383b qemu-img check: Distinguish different kinds of errors
People think that their images are corrupted when in fact there are just some
leaked clusters. Differentiating several error cases should make the messages
more comprehensible.

7d0d69509a block: Fix virtual media change for if=none
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media
change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed.  It is set when
the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY.

The type hint is only set by drive_init().  It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY
for if=floppy.  It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide,
scsi, xen, or none.

if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM.
if=xen likewise, I think.

For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or
scsi-disk.  For other guest devices, there are problems:

* fdc: you can't change virtual media

    $ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo
    QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) eject foo
    Device 'foo' is not removable

  unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly.

* virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.  If
  you eject, the guest gets I/O errors.  If you change, the guest sees
  the drive's contents suddenly change.

* scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.
  I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device,
  but it can't be pretty.
