For external data files, data clusters must be excluded from the
refcount calculations. Instead, an implicit refcount of 1 is assumed for
the COPIED flag.
Compressed clusters and internal snapshots are incompatible with
external data files, so print an error if they are in use for images
with an external data file.

This changes the qcow2 implementation to direct all guest data I/O to
s->data_file rather than bs->file, while metadata I/O still uses
bs->file. At the moment, this is still always the same, but soon we'll
add options to set s->data_file to an external data file.

Refcount table entries have a field to store the offset of the
refcount block. The rest of the bits of the entry are currently
reserved.
The offset is always taken from the entry using REFT_OFFSET_MASK to
ensure that we only use the bits that belong to that field.
While that mask is used every time we read from the refcount table, it
is never used when we write to it. Due to the other constraints of the
qcow2 format QEMU can never produce refcount block offsets that don't
fit in that field so any such offset when allocating a refcount block
would indicate a bug in QEMU.

Our code was already checking that we did not attempt to
allocate more clusters than what would fit in an INT64 (the
physical maximimum if we can access a full off_t's worth of
data). But this does not catch smaller limits enforced by
various spots in the qcow2 image description: L1 and normal
clusters of L2 are documented as having bits 63-56 reserved
for other purposes, capping our maximum offset at 64PB (bit
55 is the maximum bit set). And for compressed images with
2M clusters, the cap drops the maximum offset to bit 48, or
a maximum offset of 512TB. If we overflow that offset, we
would write compressed data into one place, but try to
decompress from another, which won't work.
It's actually possible to prove that overflow can cause image
corruption without this patch; I'll add the iotests separately
in the next commit.

Repairing OFLAG_COPIED is usually safe because it is done after the
refcounts have been repaired. Therefore, it we did not find anyone else
referencing a data or L2 cluster, it makes no sense to not set
OFLAG_COPIED -- and the other direction (clearing OFLAG_COPIED) is
always safe, anyway, it may just induce leaks.
Furthermore, if OFLAG_COPIED is actually consistent with a wrong (leaky)
refcount, we will decrement the refcount with -r leaks, but OFLAG_COPIED
will then be wrong. qemu-img check should not produce images that are
more corrupted afterwards then they were before.

Compressed clusters are not supposed to have the COPIED bit set.
"qemu-img check" detects that and prints an error message reporting
the number of the affected host cluster. This doesn't make much sense
because compressed clusters are not aligned to host clusters, so it
would be better to report the offset instead. Plus, the calculation is
wrong and it uses the raw L2 entry as if it was simply an offset.
This patch fixes the error message and reports the offset of the
compressed cluster.

When we try to allocate new clusters we first look for available ones
starting from s->free_cluster_index and once we find them we increase
their reference counts. Before we get to call update_refcount() to do
this last step s->free_cluster_index is already pointing to the next
cluster after the ones we are trying to allocate.
During update_refcount() it may happen however that we also need to
allocate a new refcount block in order to store the refcounts of these
new clusters (and to complicate things further that may also require
us to grow the refcount table). After all this we don't know if the
clusters that we originally tried to allocate are still available, so
we return -EAGAIN to ask the caller to restart the search for free
clusters.
This is what can happen in a common scenario:
1) We want to allocate a new cluster and we see that cluster N is
free.
2) We try to increase N's refcount but all refcount blocks are full,
so we allocate a new one at N+1 (where s->free_cluster_index was
pointing at).
3) Once we're done we return -EAGAIN to look again for a free
cluster, but now s->free_cluster_index points at N+2, so that's
the one we allocate. Cluster N remains unallocated and we have a
hole in the qcow2 file.
This can be reproduced easily:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o cluster_size=512 hd.qcow2 1M
qemu-io -c 'write 0 124k' hd.qcow2
After this the image has 132608 bytes (256 clusters), and the refcount
block is full. If we write 512 more bytes it should allocate two new
clusters: the data cluster itself and a new refcount block.
qemu-io -c 'write 124k 512' hd.qcow2
However the image has now three new clusters (259 in total), and the
first one of them is empty (and unallocated):
dd if=hd.qcow2 bs=512c skip=256 count=1 | hexdump -C
If we write larger amounts of data in the last step instead of the 512
bytes used in this example we can create larger holes in the qcow2
file.
What this patch does is reset s->free_cluster_index to its previous
value when alloc_refcount_block() returns -EAGAIN. This way the caller
will try to allocate again the original clusters if they are still
free.
The output of iotest 026 also needs to be updated because now that
images have no holes some tests fail at a different point and the
number of leaked clusters is different.

Because of that it is not possible to store in the cache the first

that cluster always contains the qcow2 header and we're not using this

However, if the qcow2 image is corrupted it can happen that we try to

Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>
This adds support for using LUKS as an encryption format
with the qcow2 file, using the new encrypt.format parameter
to request "luks" format. e.g.
# qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \
-f qcow2 -o encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \
test.qcow2 10G
The legacy "encryption=on" parameter still results in
creation of the old qcow2 AES format (and is equivalent
to the new 'encryption-format=aes'). e.g. the following are
equivalent:
# qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \
-f qcow2 -o encryption=on,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \
test.qcow2 10G
# qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \
-f qcow2 -o encryption-format=aes,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \
test.qcow2 10G
With the LUKS format it is necessary to store the LUKS
partition header and key material in the QCow2 file. This
data can be many MB in size, so cannot go into the QCow2
header region directly. Thus the spec defines a FDE
(Full Disk Encryption) header extension that specifies
the offset of a set of clusters to hold the FDE headers,
as well as the length of that region. The LUKS header is
thus stored in these extra allocated clusters before the
main image payload.
Aside from all the cryptographic differences implied by
use of the LUKS format, there is one further key difference
between the use of legacy AES and LUKS encryption in qcow2.
For LUKS, the initialiazation vectors are generated using
the host physical sector as the input, rather than the
guest virtual sector. This guarantees unique initialization
vectors for all sectors when qcow2 internal snapshots are
used, thus giving stronger protection against watermarking
attacks.

Treat plain zero clusters differently from allocated ones, so that
we can simplify the logic of checking whether an offset is present.
Do this by splitting QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO into two new enums,
QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN and QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOC.
I tried to arrange the enum so that we could use
'ret <= QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN' for all unallocated types, and
'ret >= QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOC' for allocated types, although
I didn't actually end up taking advantage of the layout.
In many cases, this leads to simpler code, by properly combining

plain zero is more like unallocated while allocated zero is more
like normal).

that none of them overlap with the region where we want to write.
The problem with the refcount table is that since it always occupies
complete clusters its size is usually very big. With the default
values of cluster_size=64KB and refcount_bits=16 this table holds 8192
entries, each one of them enough to map 2GB worth of host clusters.
So unless we're using images with several TB of allocated data this
table is going to be mostly empty, and iterating over it is a waste of
CPU. If the storage backend is fast enough this can have an effect on
I/O performance.
This patch keeps the index of the last used (i.e. non-zero) entry in
the refcount table and updates it every time the table changes. The
refcount-block overlap check then uses that index instead of reading
the whole table.
In my tests with a 4GB qcow2 file stored in RAM this doubles the
amount of write IOPS.

Another step towards byte-based interfaces everywhere. Replace
the sector-based bdrv_discard() with a new byte-based
bdrv_pdiscard(), which silently ignores any unaligned head
or tail.

Don't use the cpu_to_*w() functions, which we are trying to deprecate.
Instead either just use cpu_to_*() to do the byteswap, or use
st*_be_p() if we need to do the store somewhere other than to a
variable that's already the correct type.
