Markus Armbruster 7c81e4e9db block: Don't bother asserting type of output visitor's output
After a visit of a complex QAPI type FOO

    ov = qobject_output_visitor_new(&foo);
    visit_type_FOO(ov, NULL, expr, &error_abort);
    visit_complete(ov, &foo);

we can safely assume qobject_type(foo) is QTYPE_QDICT.  We do in many
places, but occasionally assert qobject_type(obj) == QTYPE_QDICT.
Don't.  The appropriate place to check such fundamental properties of
QAPI visitors is the test suite.

Peter Lieven f67409a5bb block/nfs: fix naming of runtime opts
commit 94d6a7a accidentally left the naming of runtime opts and QAPI
scheme inconsistent. As one consequence passing of parameters in the
URI is broken. Sync the naming of the runtime opts to the QAPI
scheme.

Please note that this is technically backwards incompatible with the 2.8
release, but the 2.8 release is the only version that had the wrong naming.
Furthermore release 2.8 suffered from a NULL pointer dereference during
URI parsing.

Paolo Bonzini c9d1a56174 block: only call aio_poll on the current thread's AioContext
aio_poll is not thread safe; for example bdrv_drain can hang if
the last in-flight I/O operation is completed in the I/O thread after
the main thread has checked bs->in_flight.

The bug remains latent as long as all of it is called within
aio_context_acquire/aio_context_release, but this will change soon.

To fix this, if bdrv_drain is called from outside the I/O thread,
signal the main AioContext through a dummy bottom half.  The event
loop then only runs in the I/O thread.

Paolo Bonzini 0b8b8753e4 coroutine: move entry argument to qemu_coroutine_create
In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and
it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a
non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in
block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c).  So pass the opaque value
at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new.

Mostly done with the following semantic patch:

@ entry1 @
expression entry, arg, co;
@@
- co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
  ...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);

@ entry2 @
expression entry, arg;
identifier co;
@@
- Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
  ...

@ entry3 @

+ qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg));

@ reentry @
expression co;
@@
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);

except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch
stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise
produce an uninitialized variable warning.

upcoming libnfs will have support for a read cache that can
significantly help to speed up requests since libnfs by design
circumvents the kernel cache.

Example:
 qemu -cdrom nfs://127.0.0.1/iso/my.iso?pagecache=1024

The pagecache parameters takes the maximum amount of pages to
cache.  A page in libnfs is always the NFS_BLKSIZE which is
4KB.

The nfs protocol driver is capable of creating images, but did not

A way to test this issue is the following:

$ qemu-img create -f nfs nfs://127.0.0.1/foo.qcow2 64M

Without this patch, it segfaults. With this patch, it does not. However,
this is not something that should really work; qemu-img should check
whether the parameter for the -f option (and -O for convert) is indeed a
format, and error out if it is not. Therefore, I am not making it an
iotest.

Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.

it down to obvious, but a few more have crept in since, and
documentation was overlooked.  Dumb these down, too.

Peter Lieven 20fccb187c block/nfs: report errors from libnfs
if an NFS operation fails we should report what libnfs knows
about the failure. It is likely more than just an error code.

Peter Lieven 6542aa9c75 block: add native support for NFS
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[&param2=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.
