0793169870 virtio: Report real progress in VQ aio poll handler
In virtio_queue_host_notifier_aio_poll, not all "!virtio_queue_empty()"
cases are making true progress.

Currently the offending one is virtio-scsi event queue, whose handler
does nothing if no event is pending. As a result aio_poll() will spin on
the "non-empty" VQ and take 100% host CPU.

Fix this by reporting actual progress from virtio queue aio handlers.

d14dde5ec7 virtio-blk: make some functions static
Some functions that were called from the dataplane code are now only used
locally:

virtio_blk_init_request()
virtio_blk_handle_request()
virtio_blk_submit_multireq()

since commit "03de2f527499 virtio-blk: do not use vring in dataplane", and

virtio_blk_free_request()

since commit "6aa46d8ff1ee virtio: move VirtQueueElement at the beginning
of the structs".

This patch converts them to static.

8a2fad57eb virtio-blk: use aio handler for data plane
In addition to handling IO in vcpu thread and in io thread, dataplane
introduces yet another mode: handling it by AioContext.

This reuses the same handler as previous modes, which triggers races as
these were not designed to be reentrant.  Use a separate handler just
for aio, and disable regular handlers when dataplane is active.

2906cddfec virtio-blk: fix "disabled data plane" mode
In disabled mode, virtio-blk dataplane seems to be enabled, but flow
actually goes through the normal virtio path.  This patch simplifies a bit
the handling of disabled mode.  In disabled mode, virtio_blk_handle_output
might be called even if s->dataplane is not NULL.

This is a bit tricky, because the current check for s->dataplane will
always trigger, causing a continuous stream of calls to
virtio_blk_data_plane_start.  Unfortunately, these calls will not
do anything.  To fix this, set the "started" flag even in disabled
mode, and skip virtio_blk_data_plane_start if the started flag is true.
The resulting changes also prepare the code for the next patch, were
virtio-blk dataplane will reuse the same virtio_blk_handle_output function
as "regular" virtio-blk.

Because struct VirtIOBlockDataPlane is opaque in virtio-blk.c, we have
to move s->dataplane->started inside struct VirtIOBlock.

51b19ebe43 virtio: move allocation to virtqueue_pop/vring_pop
The return code of virtqueue_pop/vring_pop is unused except to check for
errors or 0.  We can thus easily move allocation inside the functions
and just return a pointer to the VirtQueueElement.

The advantage is that we will be able to allocate only the space that
is needed for the actual size of the s/g list instead of the full
VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE items.  Currently VirtQueueElement takes about 48K
of memory, and this kind of allocation puts a lot of stress on malloc.
By cutting the size by two or three orders of magnitude, malloc can
use much more efficient algorithms.

The patch is pretty large, but changes to each device are testable
more or less independently.  Splitting it would mostly add churn.

6aa46d8ff1 virtio: move VirtQueueElement at the beginning of the structs
The next patch will make virtqueue_pop/vring_pop allocate memory for
the VirtQueueElement. In some cases (blk, scsi, gpu) the device wants
to extend VirtQueueElement with device-specific fields and, until now,
the place of the VirtQueueElement within the containing struct didn't
matter. When allocating the entire block in virtqueue_pop/vring_pop,
however, the containing struct must basically be a "subclass" of
VirtQueueElement, with the VirtQueueElement as the first field. Make
that the case for blk and scsi; gpu is already doing it.

2a6cdd6d35 virtio-blk: correctly dirty guest memory
After qemu_iovec_destroy, the QEMUIOVector's size is zeroed and
the zero size ultimately is used to compute virtqueue_push's len
argument.  Therefore, reads from virtio-blk devices did not
migrate their results correctly.  (Writes were okay).

Save the size in virtio_blk_handle_request, and use it when the request
is completed.

95f7142abc virtio-blk: introduce multiread
this patch finally introduces multiread support to virtio-blk. While
multiwrite support was there for a long time, read support was missing.

The complete merge logic is moved into virtio-blk.c which has
been the only user of request merging ever since. This is required
to be able to merge chunks of requests and immediately invoke callbacks
for those requests. Secondly, this is required to switch to
direct invocation of coroutines which is planned at a later stage.

The following benchmarks show the performance of running fio with
4 worker threads on a local ram disk. The numbers show the average
of 10 test runs after 1 run as warmup phase.

4be746345f hw: Convert from BlockDriverState to BlockBackend, mostly
Device models should access their block backends only through the
block-backend.h API.  Convert them, and drop direct includes of
inappropriate headers.

Just four uses of BlockDriverState are left:

* The Xen paravirtual block device backend (xen_disk.c) opens images
  itself when set up via xenbus, bypassing blockdev.c.  I figure it
  should go through qmp_blockdev_add() instead.

* Device model "usb-storage" prompts for keys.  No other device model
  does, and this one probably shouldn't do it, either.

* ide_issue_trim_cb() uses bdrv_aio_discard() instead of
  blk_aio_discard() because it fishes its backend out of a BlockAIOCB,
  which has only the BlockDriverState.

* PC87312State has an unused BlockDriverState[] member.

The next two commits take care of the latter two.

5e5a94b605 block: Extract the block accounting code
The plan is to add new accounting metrics (latency, invalid requests, failed
requests, queue depth) and block.c is overpopulated so it will be better to work
in a separate module.

Moreover the long term plan is to have statistics in each of the BDS of the graph
for metrology purpose; this means that the device model statistics must move from
the topmost BDS to the device model.

So we need to decouple the statistic code from BlockDriverState.

This is another argument for the extraction of the code in a separate module.

IOThreads have been introduced we can generalize this to N:M devices per
threads.

This patch drops thread code from dataplane in favor of running inside
an IOThread AioContext.

As a bonus we solve the case where a guest keeps submitting I/O requests
while dataplane is trying to stop.  Previously the dataplane thread
would continue to process requests until the request gave it a break.
Now we can shut down in bounded time thanks to
aio_context_acquire/release.

ef5bc96268 virtio-blk: do not relay a previous driver's WCE configuration to the current
The following sequence happens:
- the SeaBIOS virtio-blk driver does not support the WCE feature, which
causes QEMU to disable writeback caching

- the Linux virtio-blk driver resets the device, finds WCE is available
but writeback caching is disabled; tells block layer to not send cache
flush commands

- the Linux virtio-blk driver sets the DRIVER_OK bit, which causes
writeback caching to be re-enabled, but the Linux virtio-blk driver does
not know of this side effect and cache flushes remain disabled

The bug is at the third step.  If the guest does know about CONFIG_WCE,
QEMU should ignore the WCE feature's state.  The guest will control the
cache mode solely using configuration space.  This change makes Linux
do flushes correctly, but Linux will keep SeaBIOS's writethrough mode.

Hence, whenever the guest is reset, the cache mode of the disk should
be reset to whatever was specified in the "-drive" option.  With this
change, the Linux virtio-blk driver finds that writeback caching is
enabled, and tells the block layer to send cache flush commands
appropriately.

84db52d059 dataplane: enable virtio-blk x-data-plane=on live migration
Although the dataplane thread does not cooperate with dirty memory
logging yet it's fairly easy to temporarily disable dataplane during
live migration.  This way virtio-blk can live migrate when
x-data-plane=on.

The dataplane thread will restart after migration is cancelled or if the
guest resuming virtio-blk operation after migration completes.

f574fa8b07 virtio: fix broken aliases.
This fix the broken aliases, by renaming the devices.

So: * virtio-blk => virtio-blk-device.
    * virtio-balloon => virtio-balloon-device.
    * virtio-scsi => virtio-scsi-device.

All virtio-*-pci, virtio-*-s390, virtio-*-ccw didn't change.

0d09e41a51 hw: move headers to include/
Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
