-blockdev and blockdev_add convert their arguments via QObject to
BlockdevOptions for qmp_blockdev_add(), which converts them back to
QObject, then to a flattened QDict. The QDict's members are typed
according to the QAPI schema.
-drive converts its argument via QemuOpts to a (flat) QDict. This
QDict's members are all QString.
Thus, the QType of a flat QDict member depends on whether it comes
from -drive or -blockdev/blockdev_add, except when the QAPI type maps
to QString, which is the case for 'str' and enumeration types.
The block layer core extracts generic configuration from the flat
QDict, and the block driver extracts driver-specific configuration.
Both commonly do so by converting (parts of) the flat QDict to
QemuOpts, which turns all values into strings. Not exactly elegant,
but correct.
However, A few places access the flat QDict directly:
* Most of them access members that are always QString. Correct.
* bdrv_open_inherit() accesses a boolean, carefully. Correct.
* nfs_config() uses a QObject input visitor. Correct only because the
visited type contains nothing but QStrings.
* nbd_config() and ssh_config() use a QObject input visitor, and the
visited types contain non-QStrings: InetSocketAddress members
@numeric, @to, @ipv4, @ipv6. -drive works as long as you don't try
to use them (they're all optional). @to is ignored anyway.
Reproducer:
-drive driver=ssh,server.host=h,server.port=22,server.ipv4,path=p
-drive driver=nbd,server.type=inet,server.data.host=h,server.data.port=22,server.data.ipv4
both fail with "Invalid parameter type for 'data.ipv4', expected: boolean"
Add suitable comments to all these places. Mark the buggy ones FIXME.
"Fortunately", -drive's driver-specific options are entirely
undocumented.

Success for bdrv_flush() means that all previously written data is safe
on disk. For fdatasync(), the best semantics we can hope for on Linux
(without O_DIRECT) is that all data that was written since the last call
was successfully written back. Therefore, and because we can't redo all
writes after a flush failure, we have to give up after a single
fdatasync() failure. After this failure, we would never be able to make
the promise that a successful bdrv_flush() makes.

The following pattern is unsafe:
char buf[32];
ret = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
...
buf[ret] = 0;
If read(2) returns 32 then a byte beyond the end of the buffer is
zeroed.
In practice this buffer overflow does not occur because the sysfs
max_segments file only contains an unsigned short + '\n'. The string is
always shorter than 32 bytes.
Regardless, avoid this pattern because static analysis tools might
complain and it could lead to real buffer overflows if copy-pasted
elsewhere in the codebase.

BlockLimits.max_transfer can be too high without this fix, guest will
encounter I/O error or even get paused with werror=stop or rerror=stop. The
cause is explained below.
Linux has a separate limit, /sys/block/.../queue/max_segments, which in
the worst case can be more restrictive than the BLKSECTGET which we
already consider (note that they are two different things). So, the
failure scenario before this patch is:
1) host device has max_sectors_kb = 4096 and max_segments = 64;
2) guest learns max_sectors_kb limit from QEMU, but doesn't know
max_segments;
3) guest issues e.g. a 512KB request thinking it's okay, but actually
it's not, because it will be passed through to host device as an
SG_IO req that has niov > 64;
4) host kernel doesn't like the segmenting of the request, and returns
-EINVAL;
This patch checks the max_segments sysfs entry for the host device and
calculates a "conservative" bytes limit using the page size, which is
then merged into the existing max_transfer limit. Guest will discover
this from the usual virtual block device interfaces. (In the case of
scsi-generic, it will be done in the INQUIRY reply interception in
device model.)
The other possibility is to actually propagate it as a separate limit,
but it's not better. On the one hand, there is a big complication: the
limit is per-LUN in QEMU PoV (because we can attach LUNs from different
host HBAs to the same virtio-scsi bus), but the channel to communicate
it in a per-LUN manner is missing down the stack; on the other hand,
two limits versus one doesn't change much about the valid size of I/O
(because guest has no control over host segmenting).
Also, the idea to fall back to bounce buffering in QEMU, upon -EINVAL,
was explored. Unfortunately there is no neat way to ensure the bounce
buffer is less segmented (in terms of DMA addr) than the guest buffer.
Practically, this bug is not very common. It is only reported on a
Emulex (lpfc), so it's okay to get it fixed in the easier way.

Now that we are truncating the file in both PREALLOC_MODE_FULL and

In a previous commit (qemu-img: Do not truncate before preallocation) we
moved truncate to the PREALLOC_MODE_OFF branch to avoid slowdown in
posix_fallocate().
However this change is not optimal when using PREALLOC_MODE_FULL, since
knowing the final size from the beginning could allow the file system
driver to do less allocations and possibly avoid fragmentation of the
file.
Now we truncate also before doing full preallocation.

When using file system that does not support fallocate() (e.g. NFS <
4.2), truncating the file only when preallocation=OFF speeds up creating
raw file.
Here is example run, tested on Fedora 24 machine, creating raw file on
NFS version 3 server.
$ time ./qemu-img-master create -f raw -o preallocation=falloc mnt/test 1g

Running with strace we can see that without this change we do one
pread() and one pwrite() for each block. With this change, we do only
one pwrite() per block.
$ strace ./qemu-img-master create -f raw -o preallocation=falloc mnt/test 8192
...
pread64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pread64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
$ strace ./qemu-img-fix create -f raw -o preallocation=falloc mnt/test 8192
...
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
This happens because posix_fallocate is checking if each block is
allocated before writing a byte to the block, and when truncating the
file before preallocation, all blocks are unallocated.

We can get the maximum number of bytes for a single I/O transfer
from the BLKSECTGET ioctl, but we only perform this for block
devices. scsi-generic devices are represented as character devices,
and so do not issue this today. Update this, so that virtio-scsi
devices using the scsi-generic interface can return the same data.

Commit 6f6071745b ("raw-posix: Fetch max sectors for host block device")
introduced a routine to call the kernel BLKSECTGET ioctl, which stores the
result back to user space. However, the size of the data returned depends
on the routine handling the ioctl. The (compat_)blkdev_ioctl returns a
short, while sg_ioctl returns an int. Thus, on big-endian systems, we can
find ourselves accidentally shifting the result to a much larger value.
(On s390x, a short is 16 bits while an int is 32 bits.)
Also, the two ioctl handlers return values in different scales (block
returns sectors, while sg returns bytes), so some tweaking of the outputs
is required such that hdev_get_max_transfer_length returns a value in a
consistent set of units.
