This adds the basic infrastructure to qcow2 to handle version 3 images.
It includes code to create v3 images, allow header updates for v3 images
and checks feature bits.
It still misses support for zero clusters, so this is not a fully
compliant implementation of v3 yet.
The default for creating new images stays at v2 for now.

With this change, reading from a qcow2 image ignores all reserved bits
that are set in an L1 or L2 table entry.
Now get_cluster_offset() assigns *cluster_offset only the offset without

but a positive return value in case of success.

The L1 table grow operation includes a size calculation that bumps up
the new L1 table size in order to anticipate the size needs of vmstate
data. This helps reduce the number of times that the L1 table has to be
grown when vmstate data is appended.
This size overhead is not necessary during image creation,
bdrv_truncate(), or snapshot goto operations. In fact, existing
qemu-iotests that exercise table growth are no longer able to trigger it
because image creation preallocates an L1 table that is too large after
changes to qcow_create2().
This patch keeps the size calculation but also adds exact growth for

This patch adds the ability to grow qcow2 images in-place using
bdrv_truncate(). This enables qemu-img resize command support for
qcow2.
Snapshots are not supported and bdrv_truncate() will return -ENOTSUP.
The notion of resizing an image with snapshots could lead to confusion:
users may expect snapshots to remain unchanged, but this is not possible
with the current qcow2 on-disk format where the header.size field is
global instead of per-snapshot. Others may expect snapshots to change
size along with the current image data. I think it is safest to not
support snapshots and perhaps add behavior later if there is a
consensus.
Backing images continue to work. If the image is now larger than its
backing image, zeroes are read when accessing beyond the end of the
backing image.

When the synchronous read and write functions were dropped, they were replaced
by generic emulation functions. Unfortunately, these emulation functions don't
provide the same semantics as the original functions did.
The original bdrv_read would mean that we read some data synchronously and that
we won't be interrupted during this read. The latter assumption is no longer
true with the emulation function which needs to use qemu_aio_poll and therefore
allows the callback of any other concurrent AIO request to be run during the
read. Which in turn means that (meta)data read earlier could have changed and
be invalid now. qcow2 is not prepared to work in this way and it's just scary
how many places there are where other requests could run.
I'm not sure yet where exactly it breaks, but you'll see breakage with virtio
on qcow2 with a backing file. Providing synchronous functions again fixes the
problem for me.

When two AIO requests write to the same cluster, and this cluster is
unallocated, currently both requests allocate a new cluster and the second one
merges the first one when it is completed. This means an cluster allocation, a
read and a cluster deallocation which cause some overhead. If we simply let the
second request wait until the first one is done, we improve overall performance
with AIO requests (specifially, qcow2/virtio combinations).
This patch maintains a list of in-flight requests that have allocated new
clusters. A second request touching the same cluster is limited so that it
either doesn't touch the allocation of the first request (so it can have a
non-overlapping allocation) or it waits for the first request to complete.

We can't use truncate to grow the image file to the right size because we don't

This introduces a qemu-img create option for qcow2 which allows the metadata to
be preallocated, i.e. clusters are reserved in the refcount table and L1/L2
tables, but no data is written to them. Metadata is quite small, so this
happens in almost no time.
Especially with qcow2 on virtio this helps to gain a bit of performance during
the initial writes. However, as soon as create a snapshot, we're back to the
normal slow speed, obviously. So this isn't the real fix, but kind of a cheat
while we're still having trouble with qcow2 on virtio.
Note that the option is disabled by default and needs to be specified
explicitly using qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata.
