a597e79ce1 block: explicit I/O accounting
Decouple the I/O accounting from bdrv_aio_readv/writev/flush and
make the hardware models call directly into the accounting helpers.

This means:
 - we do not count internal requests from image formats in addition
   to guest originating I/O
 - we do not double count I/O ops if the device model handles it
   chunk wise
 - we only account I/O once it actuall is done
 - can extent I/O accounting to synchronous or coroutine I/O easily
 - implement I/O latency tracking easily (see the next patch)

I've conveted the existing device model callers to the new model,
device models that are using synchronous I/O and weren't accounted
before haven't been updated yet.  Also scsi hasn't been converted
to the end-to-end accounting as I want to defer that after the pending
scsi layer overhaul.

qemu-img.c wants to count allocated file size of image. Previously it
counts a single bs->file by 'stat' or Window API. As VMDK introduces

platform specific meanwhile.

The functions are moved to block/raw-{posix,win32}.c and qemu-img.c calls
bdrv_get_allocated_file_size to count the bs. And also added VMDK code
to count his own extents.

4be9762adb block: Change bdrv_eject() not to drop the image
bdrv_eject() gets called when a device model opens or closes the tray.

If the block driver implements method bdrv_eject(), that method gets
called.  Drivers host_cdrom implements it, and it opens and closes the
physical tray, and nothing else.  When a device model opens, then
closes the tray, media changes only if the user actively changes the
physical media while the tray is open.  This is matches how physical
hardware behaves.

If the block driver doesn't implement method bdrv_eject(), we do
something quite different: opening the tray severs the connection to
the image by calling bdrv_close(), and closing the tray does nothing.
When the device model opens, then closes the tray, media is gone,
unless the user actively inserts another one while the tray is open,
with a suitable change command in the monitor.  This isn't how
physical hardware behaves.  Rather inconvenient when programs
"helpfully" eject media to give you a chance to change it.  The way
bdrv_eject() behaves here turns that chance into a must, which is not
what these programs or their users expect.

Change the default action not to call bdrv_close().  Instead, note the
tray status in new BlockDriverState member tray_open.  Use it in
bdrv_is_inserted().

Arguably, the device models should keep track of tray status
themselves.  But this is less invasive.

79368c81bf Make default invocation of block drivers safer (v3)
CVE-2008-2004 described a vulnerability in QEMU whereas a malicious user could
trick the block probing code into accessing arbitrary files in a guest.  To
mitigate this, we added an explicit format parameter to -drive which disabling
block probing.

Fast forward to today, and the vast majority of users do not use this parameter.
libvirt does not use this by default nor does virt-manager.

Most users want block probing so we should try to make it safer.

This patch adds some logic to the raw device which attempts to detect a write
operation to the beginning of a raw device.  If the first 4 bytes happen to
match an image file that has a backing file that we support, it scrubs the
signature to all zeros.  If a user specifies an explicit format parameter, this
behavior is disabled.

I contend that while a legitimate guest could write such a signature to the
header, we would behave incorrectly anyway upon the next invocation of QEMU.
This simply changes the incorrect behavior to not involve a security
vulnerability.

I've tested this pretty extensively both in the positive and negative case.  I'm
not 100% confident in the block layer's ability to deal with zero sized writes
particularly with respect to the aio functions so some additional eyes would be
appreciated.

Even in the case of a single sector write, we have to make sure to invoked the
completion from a bottom half so just removing the zero sized write is not an
option.

f8b6cc0070 qdev: Decouple qdev_prop_drive from DriveInfo
Make the property point to BlockDriverState, cutting out the DriveInfo
middleman.  This prepares the ground for block devices that don't have
a DriveInfo.

Currently all user-defined ones have a DriveInfo, because the only way
to define one is -drive & friends (they go through drive_init()).
DriveInfo is closely tied to -drive, and like -drive, it mixes
information about host and guest part of the block device.  I'm
working towards a new way to define block devices, with clean
host/guest separation, and I need to get DriveInfo out of the way for
that.

Fortunately, the device models are perfectly happy with
BlockDriverState, except for two places: ide_drive_initfn() and
scsi_disk_initfn() need to check the DriveInfo for a serial number set
with legacy -drive serial=...  Use drive_get_by_blockdev() there.

Device model code should now use DriveInfo only when explicitly
dealing with drives defined the old way, i.e. without -device.

and also to add the statistics of the underlying protocol in a new "parent"
field. Note that to get the "high watermark" of a qcow2 image, you need to look
into the wr_highest_sector field of the parent (which can be a file, a
host_device, ...). The wr_highest_sector of the qcow2 BlockDriverState itself
is the highest offset on the _virtual_ disk that the guest has written to.

Add a logical block size attribute as various guest side tools only
increase the filesystem sector size based on it, not the advisory

For scsi we already have support for a different logical block size
in place for CDROMs that we can built upon.  Only my recent block
device characteristics VPD page needs some fixups.  Note that we
leave the logial block size for CDROMs hardcoded as the 2k value
is expected for it in general.

For virtio-blk we already have a feature flag claiming to support
a variable logical block size that was added for the s390 kuli
hypervisor.  Interestingly it does not actually change the units
in which the protocol works, which is still fixed at 512 bytes,
but only communicates a different minimum I/O granularity.  So
all we need to do in virtio is to add a trap for unaligned I/O
and round down the device size to the next multiple of the logical
block size.

IDE does not support any other logical block size than 512 bytes.

428c149b0b block: add topology qdev properties
Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to
the guest.  This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays
or SSDs.

The options are:

 - physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device,
   this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many
   modern storage devices
 - min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact,
   this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays.
 - opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is
   typically the RAID stripe width for arrays.

I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily
be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration.

Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the
logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in.  The reason for
that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and
at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow
for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would
not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only
uses the physical block exponent.

To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a
new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a
DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring
what is done for network drivers.  Also switch over all block drivers
to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB
properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever.

Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and
8k optimal I/O size:

  -drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \
  -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192

c6d2283068 block migration: Cleanup dirty tracking code
This switches the dirty bitmap to a true bitmap, reducing its footprint
(specifically in caches). It moreover fixes off-by-one bugs in
set_dirty_bitmap (nb_sectors+1 were marked) and bdrv_get_dirty (limit
check allowed one sector behind end of drive). And is drops redundant
dirty_tracking field from BlockDriverState.

7cd1e32a86 Expose a mechanism to trace block writes
To support live migration without shared storage we need to be able to trace
writes to disk while migrating. This Patch expose dirty block tracking per
device to be polled from upper layer.

Changes from v4:
- Register dirty tracking for each block device.
- Minor coding style issues.
- Block.c will now manage a dirty bitmap per device once
  bdrv_set_dirty_tracking() is called. Bitmap is polled by the upper
  layer (block-migration.c).

b2e12bc6e3 block: add aio_flush operation
Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it
asynchronously.  Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an
asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix.  Note that while Linux AIO
implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because
it isn't actually implement in asynchronous fashion.

e900a7b748 block: add enable_write_cache flag
Add a enable_write_cache flag in the block driver state, and use it to
decide if we claim to have a volatile write cache that needs controlled
flushing from the guest.  The flag is off if cache=writethrough is
defined because O_DSYNC guarantees that every write goes to stable
storage, and it is on for cache=none and cache=writeback.

Both scsi-disk and ide now use the new flage, changing from their
defaults of always off (ide) or always on (scsi-disk).

40b4f53967 Add bdrv_aio_multiwrite
One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.

Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can
avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place.

As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less
and larger requests.
