e5354657a6 qemu_memalign: Allow small alignments
The functions used by qemu_memalign() require an alignment that is at
least sizeof(void*). Adjust it if it is too small.

When there is a format driver between the backend, it's not guaranteed

dabfa6cc2e block: Fix bdrv_commit return value
bdrv_commit() could return 0 or 1 on success, depending on whether or
not the last sector was allocated in the overlay and whether the overlay
format had a .bdrv_make_empty callback.

Most callers ignored it, but qemu-img commit would print an error
message while the operation actually succeeded.

Also clean up the handling of I/O errors to return the real error code
instead of -EIO.

3722290074 block: update block commit documentation regarding image truncation
This updates the documentation for commiting snapshot images.
Specifically, this highlights what happens when the base image
is either smaller or larger than the snapshot image being committed.

In the case of the base image being smaller, it is resized to the
larger size of the snapshot image.  In the case of the base image
being larger, it is not resized automatically, but once the commit
has completed it is safe for the user to truncate the base image.

4da8358596 block: resize backing image during active layer commit, if needed
If the top image to commit is the active layer, and also larger than
the base image, then an I/O error will likely be returned during
block-commit.

For instance, if we have a base image with a virtual size 10G, and a
active layer image of size 20G, then committing the snapshot via
'block-commit' will likely fail.

This will automatically attempt to resize the base image, if the
active layer image to be committed is larger.

031fd1be56 block/curl: Implement the libcurl timer callback interface
libcurl versions 7.16.0 and later have a timer callback interface which
must be implemented in order for libcurl to make forward progress (it
will sometimes rely on being called back on the timeout if there are
no file descriptors registered). Implement the callback, and use a
QEMU AIO timer to ensure we prod libcurl again when it asks us to.

Based on Peter's original patch plus my fix to add curl_multi_timeout_do.
Should compile just fine even on older versions of libcurl.

I also tried copy-on-read and streaming:

    $ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o \
         backing_file=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Live/x86_64/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso \
         foo.qcow2 1G
    $ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
         -drive if=none,file=foo.qcow2,copy-on-read=on,id=cd \
         -device ide-cd,drive=cd --enable-kvm -m 1024

Direct http usage is probably too slow, but with copy-on-read ultimately
the image does boot!

After some time, streaming gets canceled by an EIO, which needs further
investigation.

12d3ba821d qmp: Allow to change password on named block driver states.
Signed-off-by: Benoit Canet <benoit@irqsave.net>
Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:

1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
                                      '*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}

2)

{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
                                      '*device-is-node': 'bool',
                                      'password': 'str'} }

Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.

Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.

Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.

Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.

Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.

Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.

A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

d80ac658f2 block: fix backing file segfault
When a backing file is opened such that (1) a protocol is directly
used as the block driver and (2) the block driver has bdrv_file_open,
bdrv_open_backing_file segfaults. The problem arises because
bdrv_open_common returns without setting bd->backing_hd->file.

To effect (1), you seem to have to use the -F flag in qemu-img. There
are several block drivers that satisfy (2), such as "file" and "nbd".
Here are some concrete examples:

    #!/bin/bash

    echo Test file format
    ./qemu-img create -f file base.file 1m
    ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F file -o backing_file=base.file\
        file-overlay.qcow2
    ./qemu-img convert -O raw file-overlay.qcow2 file-convert.raw

    echo Test nbd format
    SOCK=$PWD/nbd.sock
    ./qemu-img create -f raw base.raw 1m
    ./qemu-nbd -t -k $SOCK base.raw &
    trap "kill $!" EXIT
    while ! test -e $SOCK; do sleep 1; done
    ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F nbd -o backing_file=nbd:unix:$SOCK\
        nbd-overlay.qcow2
    ./qemu-img convert -O raw nbd-overlay.qcow2 nbd-convert.raw

Without this patch, the two qemu-img convert commands segfault.

This is a regression that was introduced in v1.7 by
dbecebddfa.

If blkverify_parse_filename() has been called, a filename has been

Allowing nested file formats results in e.g. qcow2 BlockDriverStates
never being directly passed to bdrv_open_common() from bdrv_file_open(),
but instead being handed through bdrv_open(). This changes the error
message when trying to give a filename to qcow2, i.e. trying to use it
as a driver for the protocol level. Therefore, change the reference
output of I/O test 051 accordingly.

adf5c449e5 qemu-option: Add qemu_config_parse_qdict()
This function basically parses command-line options given as a QDict
replacing a config file.

For instance, the QDict {"section.opt1": 42, "section.opt2": 23}
corresponds to the config file:

[section]
opt1 = 42
opt2 = 23

It is possible to specify multiple sections and also multiple sections
of the same type. On the command line, this looks like the following:

inject-error.0.event=reftable_load,\
inject-error.1.event=l2_load,\
set-state.event=l1_update

This would correspond to the following config file:

[inject-error "inject-error.0"]
event = reftable_load

[inject-error "inject-error.1"]
event = l2_load

[set-state]
event = l1_update

9f23fc0c23 qapi: extend qdict_flatten() for QLists
Reversing qdict_array_split(), qdict_flatten() should flatten QLists as
well by interpreting them as QDicts where every entry's key is its
index.

This allows bringing QDicts with QLists from QMP commands to the same
form as they would be given as command-line options, thereby allowing
them to be parsed the same way.

d4881b9bcb blkdebug: Don't require sophisticated filename
If the filename is not prefixed by "blkdebug:" in
blkdebug_parse_filename(), the blkdebug driver was not selected through
that protocol prefix, but by an explicit command line option
(file.driver=blkdebug or something similar). Contrary to the current
reaction, this is not a problem at all; we just need to store the
filename (in the x-image option) and can go on; the user just has to
manually specify the config option.
