This patch removes support for the cow file format.
Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there
is no impact and it is the most logical option. Extraordinary claims
require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block
driver is the right thing to do.
The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way
of running a Linux system in userspace. The performance of UML was
never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before
hardware virtualization support became mainstream.
QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format.
Unfortunately the file format was underspecified:
1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing
filename field. The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux
switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal.
2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel
and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures. In
particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment
differences. Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not.
Therefore:
1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format.
2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures.
This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports
from users actually hitting these issues.
Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be
affected.

This is an analogue to Linux null_blk. It can be used for testing or
benchmarking block device emulation and general block layer
functionalities such as coroutines and throttling, where disk IO is not
necessary or wanted.
Use null-aio:// for AIO version, and null-co:// for coroutine version.

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.

Uses the same select/WSAEventSelect scheme as main-loop.c.
WSAEventSelect() is edge-triggered, so it cannot be used
directly, but it is still used as a way to exit from a
blocking g_poll().
Before g_poll() is called, we poll sockets with a non-blocking
select() to achieve the level-triggered semantics we require:
if a socket is ready, the g_poll() is made non-blocking too.

This patchset enables the core of the quorum mechanism.
The num_children reads are compared to get the majority version and if this
version exists more than threshold times the guest won't see the error at all.
If a block is corrupted or if an error occurs during an IO or if the quorum
cannot be established QMP events are used to report to the management.
Use gnutls's SHA-256 to compare versions.
--enable-quorum must be used to enable the feature.

Quorum is a block filter mirroring writes to num_children children.
For reads quorum reads each children and does a vote.
If more than vote_threshold versions are identical the quorum is reached and
this winning version is returned to the guest. So quorum prevents bit corruption.
For high availability purpose minority errors are reported via QMP but the guest
does not see them.
This patch creates the driver C source file and introduces the structures that
will be used in asynchronous reads and writes.

This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS
shares without the requirement to actually mount the entire
NFS share on the host.
NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form:
nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>[?param=value[¶m2=value2[&...]]]
For example:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2
You need LibNFS from Ronnie Sahlberg available at:
git://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.git
for this to work.
During configure it is automatically probed for libnfs and support
is enabled on-the-fly. You can forbid or enforce libnfs support
with --disable-libnfs or --enable-libnfs respectively.
Due to NFS restrictions you might need to execute your binaries
as root, allow them to open priviledged ports (<1024) or specify
insecure option on the NFS server.
For additional information on ROOT vs. non-ROOT operation and URL
format + parameters see:
https://raw.github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/master/README
Supported by qemu are the uid, gid and tcp-syncnt URL parameters.
LibNFS currently support NFS version 3 only.

This adds support for VHDX v0 logs, as specified in Microsoft's
VHDX Specification Format v1.00:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34750
The following support is added:
* Log parsing, and validation - validate that an existing log
is correct.
* Log search - search through an existing log, to find any valid
sequence of entries.
* Log replay and flush - replay an existing log, and flush/clear
the log when complete.
The VHDX log is a circular buffer, with elements (sectors) of 4KB.
A log entry is a variably-length number of sectors, that is
comprised of a header and 'descriptors', that describe each sector.
A log may contain multiple entries, know as a log sequence. In a log
sequence, each log entry immediately follows the previous entry, with an
incrementing sequence number. There can only ever be one active and
valid sequence in the log.
Each log entry must match the file log GUID in order to be valid (along
with other criteria). Once we have flushed all valid log entries, we
marked the file log GUID to be zero, which indicates a buffer with no
valid entries.

backup_start() creates a block job that copies a point-in-time snapshot
of a block device to a target block device.
We call backup_do_cow() for each write during backup. That function
reads the original data from the block device before it gets
overwritten. The data is then written to the target device.
Currently backup cluster size is hardcoded to 65536 bytes.
[I made a number of changes to Dietmar's original patch and folded them
in to make code review easy. Here is the full list:
* Drop BackupDumpFunc interface in favor of a target block device
* Detect zero clusters with buffer_is_zero() and use bdrv_co_write_zeroes()
* Use 0 delay instead of 1us, like other block jobs
* Unify creation/start functions into backup_start()
* Simplify cleanup, free bitmap in backup_run() instead of cb
* function
* Use HBitmap to avoid duplicating bitmap code
* Use bdrv_getlength() instead of accessing ->total_sectors
* directly
* Delete the backup.h header file, it is no longer necessary
* Move ./backup.c to block/backup.c
* Remove #ifdefed out code
* Coding style and whitespace cleanups
* Use bdrv_add_before_write_notifier() instead of blockjob-specific hooks
* Keep our own in-flight CowRequest list instead of using block.c
tracked requests. This means a little code duplication but is much
simpler than trying to share the tracked requests list and use the
backup block size.
* Add on_source_error and on_target_error error handling.
* Use trace events instead of DPRINTF()

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://hostname/some/image
QEMU will ssh into 'hostname' and open '/some/image' which is made
available as a standard block device.
You can specify a username (ssh://user@host/...) and/or a port number
(ssh://host:port/...). You can also use an alternate syntax using
properties (file.user, file.host, file.port, file.path).
Current limitations:
- Authentication must be done without passwords or passphrases, using
ssh-agent. Other authentication methods are not supported.
- Uses a single connection, instead of concurrent AIO with multiple
SSH connections.
This is implemented using libssh2 on the client side. The server just
requires a regular ssh daemon with sftp-server support. Most ssh
daemons on Unix/Linux systems will work out of the box.

With the new support for EventNotifiers in the AIO event loop, we
can hook a completion port to every opened file and use asynchronous
I/O on them.
Wine's support is extremely inefficient, also because it really does
the I/O synchronously on regular files. (!) But it works, and it is
good to keep the Win32 and POSIX ports as similar as possible.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
The Win32 implementation will only accept EventNotifiers, thus a few
drivers are disabled under Windows. EventNotifiers are a good match
for the GSource implementation, too, because the Win32 port of glib
allows to place their HANDLEs in a GPollFD.

This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to
a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image.
The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the
source to the target in the background. This can be used for several
purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and
observation of the guest I/O in an external program. It is also a
first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is
part of QEMU.
The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into
two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target
first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and
ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy
of the source data.
The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs"
reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file.
When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the
job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report
successful completion of the job.
In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target
may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the
BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with
a past state of the source. (Note that it could already happen
that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion
event instead of cancellation).
It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target
disk. The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the
basic idea introduced here. These include improved error management,
some tunable knobs and performance optimizations.

This adds the live commit coroutine. This iteration focuses on the
commit only below the active layer, and not the active layer itself.
The behaviour is similar to block streaming; the sectors are walked
through, and anything that exists above 'base' is committed back down
into base. At the end, intermediate images are deleted, and the
chain stitched together. Images are restored to their original open
flags upon completion.

This patch adds gluster as the new block backend in QEMU. This gives
QEMU the ability to boot VM images from gluster volumes. Its already
possible to boot from VM images on gluster volumes using FUSE mount, but
this patchset provides the ability to boot VM images from gluster volumes
by by-passing the FUSE layer in gluster. This is made possible by
using libgfapi routines to perform IO on gluster volumes directly.
VM Image on gluster volume is specified like this:
file=gluster[+transport]://[server[:port]]/volname/image[?socket=...]
'gluster' is the protocol.
'transport' specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are
tcp, unix and rdma. If a transport type isn't specified, then tcp
type is assumed.
'server' specifies the server where the volume file specification for
the given volume resides. This can be either hostname, ipv4 address
or ipv6 address. ipv6 address needs to be within square brackets [ ].
If transport type is 'unix', then 'server' field should not be specifed.
The 'socket' field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain
socket.
'port' is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional
and if not specified, QEMU will send 0 which will make gluster to use the
default port. If the transport type is unix, then 'port' should not be
specified.
'volname' is the name of the gluster volume which contains the VM image.
'image' is the path to the actual VM image that resides on gluster volume.
Examples:
file=gluster://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4:24007/testvol/dir/a.img
file=gluster+tcp://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]/testvol/dir/a.img
file=gluster+tcp://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]:24007/testvol/dir/a.img
file=gluster+tcp://server.domain.com:24007/testvol/dir/a.img
