This test creates a 'server' chardev to listen for vhost-user messages.
Once VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE is received it mmaps each received region,
and read 1k bytes from it. The read data is compared to data from readl.
The test requires hugetlbfs to be already mounted and writable. The mount
point defaults to '/hugetlbfs' and can be specified via the environment

Block I/O throttling uses timers and currently always adds them to the
main loop. Throttling will break if bdrv_set_aio_context() is used to
move a BlockDriverState to a different AioContext.
This patch adds throttle_detach/attach_aio_context() interfaces so the
throttling timers and uses them to move timers to the new AioContext.
Note that bdrv_set_aio_context() already drains all requests so we're
sure no throttled requests are pending.
The test cases need to be updated since the throttle_init() interface
has changed.

The current flow of canceling a thread from THREAD_ACTIVE state is:
1) Caller wants to cancel a request, so it calls thread_pool_cancel.
2) thread_pool_cancel waits on the conditional variable
elem->check_cancel.
3) The worker thread changes state to THREAD_DONE once the task is
done, and notifies elem->check_cancel to allow thread_pool_cancel
to continue execution, and signals the notifier (pool->notifier) to
allow callback function to be called later. But because of the
global mutex, the notifier won't get processed until step 4) and 5)
are done.
4) thread_pool_cancel continues, leaving the notifier signaled, it
just returns to caller.
5) Caller thinks the request is already canceled successfully, so it
releases any related data, such as freeing elem->common.opaque.
6) In the next main loop iteration, the notifier handler,
event_notifier_ready, is called. It finds the canceled thread in
THREAD_DONE state, so calls elem->common.cb, with an (likely)
dangling opaque pointer. This is a use-after-free.
Fix it by calling event_notifier_ready before leaving
thread_pool_cancel.
Test case update: This change will let cancel complete earlier than
test-thread-pool.c expects, so update the code to check this case: if
it's already done, done_cb sets .aiocb to NULL, skip calling
bdrv_aio_cancel on them.

qemu_find_opts() calls error_report() instead of propagating the Error

this patch tries to optimize zero write requests
by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is
supported by the format.
This significantly speeds up file system initialization and
should speed zero write test used to test backend storage
performance.
