c2eb918e32 block: round up file size to nearest sector
Currently the file size requested by user is rounded down to nearest
sector, causing the actual file size could be a bit less than the size
user requested. Since some formats (like qcow2) record virtual disk
size in bytes, this can make the last few bytes cannot be accessed.

This patch fixes it by rounding up file size to nearest sector so that
the actual file size is no less than the requested file size.

85ebd381fd block/raw-win32: implement .bdrv_detach/attach_aio_context()
Drop the assumption that we're using the main AioContext for raw-win32.
Convert the aio-win32 code to support detach/attach and replace
qemu_aio_wait() with aio_poll().

The .bdrv_detach/attach_aio_context() interfaces move the aio-win32

8bfea15dda block: Unlink temporary files in raw-posix/win32
Instead of having unlink() calls in the generic block layer, where we
aren't even guarateed to have a file name, move them to those block
drivers that are actually used and that always have a filename. Gets us
rid of some #ifdefs as well.

The patch also converts bs->is_temporary to a new BDRV_O_TEMPORARY open
flag so that it is inherited in the protocol layer and the raw-posix and
raw-win32 drivers can unlink the file.

b04b6b6ec3 block: Print its file name if backing file opening failed
If backing file doesn't exist, the error message is confusing and
misleading:

    $ qemu /tmp/a.qcow2
    qemu: could not open disk image /tmp/a.qcow2: Could not open file: No
    such file or directory

But...

    $ ls /tmp/a.qcow2
    /tmp/a.qcow2

    $ qemu-img info /tmp/a.qcow2
    image: /tmp/a.qcow2
    file format: qcow2
    virtual size: 8.0G (8589934592 bytes)
    disk size: 196K
    cluster_size: 65536
    backing file: /tmp/b.qcow2

Because...

    $ ls /tmp/b.qcow2
    ls: cannot access /tmp/b.qcow2: No such file or directory

This is not intuitive. It's better to have the missing file's name in
the error message. With this patch:

    $ qemu-io -c 'read 0 512' /tmp/a.qcow2
    qemu-io: can't open device /tmp/a.qcow2: Could not open backing
    file: Could not open '/stor/vm/arch.raw': No such file or directory
    no file open, try 'help open'

b94a261057 block: Avoid unecessary drv->bdrv_getlength() calls
The block layer generally keeps the size of an image cached in
bs->total_sectors so that it doesn't have to perform expensive
operations to get the size whenever it needs it.

This doesn't work however when using a backend that can change its size
without qemu being aware of it, i.e. passthrough of removable media like
CD-ROMs or floppy disks. For this reason, the caching is disabled when a
removable device is used.

It is obvious that checking whether the _guest_ device has removable
media isn't the right thing to do when we want to know whether the size
of the host backend can change. To make things worse, non-top-level
BlockDriverStates never have any device attached, which makes qemu
assume they are removable, so drv->bdrv_getlength() is always called on
the protocol layer. In the case of raw-posix, this causes unnecessary
lseek() system calls, which turned out to be rather expensive.

This patch completely changes the logic and disables bs->total_sectors
caching only for certain block driver types, for which a size change is
expected: host_cdrom and host_floppy on POSIX, host_device on win32; also
the raw format in case it sits on top of one of these protocols, but in
the common case the nested bdrv_getlength() call on the protocol driver
will use the cache again and avoid an expensive drv->bdrv_getlength()
call.

68dc036488 w32: Fix access to host devices (regression)
QEMU failed to open host devices like \\.\PhysicalDrive0 (first hard disk)
since some time (commit 8a79380b8ef1b02d2abd705dd026a18863b09020?).

Those devices use hdev_open which did not use the latest API for options.
This resulted in a fatal runtime error:

  Block protocol 'host_device' doesn't support the option 'filename'

Duplicate code from raw_open to fix this.

3ac216270a block: change default of .has_zero_init to 0
.has_zero_init defaults to 1 for all formats and protocols.

this is a dangerous default since this means that all
new added drivers need to manually overwrite it to 0 if
they do not ensure that a device is zero initialized
after bdrv_create().

if a driver needs to explicitly set this value to
1 its easier to verify the correctness in the review process.

during review of the existing drivers it turned out
that ssh and gluster had a wrong default of 1.
both protocols support host_devices as backend
which are not by default zero initialized. this
wrong assumption will lead to possible corruption
if qemu-img convert is used to write to such a backend.

vpc and vmdk also defaulted to 1 altough they support
fixed respectively flat extends. this has to be addresses
in separate patches. both formats as well as the mentioned
ssh and gluster are turned to the default of 0 with this
patch for safety.

a similar problem with the wrong default existed for
iscsi most likely because the driver developer did
oversee the default value of 1.

84a12e6648 block: separate raw images from the file protocol
We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.

This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.

The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.

For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.

The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation.  Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img.  I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.

There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.

Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.

Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin
and me, which should all be in his block queue.

9a2d77ad0d block: kill BDRV_O_CREAT
The BDRV_O_CREAT option is unused inside qemu and partially duplicates
the bdrv_create method.  Remove it, and the -C option to qemu-io which
isn't used in qemu-iotests anyway.
