Linux limits the size of iovecs to 1024 (UIO_MAXIOV in the kernel
sources, IOV_MAX in POSIX). Because of this, on some host adapters
requests with many iovecs are rejected with -EINVAL by the
io_submit() or readv()/writev() system calls.
In fact, the same limit applies to SG_IO as well. To fix both the
EINVAL and the possible performance issues from using fewer iovecs
than allowed by Linux (some HBAs have max_segments as low as 128),
introduce a separate entry in BlockLimits to hold the max_segments
value from sysfs. This new limit is used only for SG_IO and clamped
to bs->bl.max_iov anyway, just like max_hw_transfer is clamped to
bs->bl.max_transfer.

For block host devices, I/O can happen through either the kernel file
descriptor I/O system calls (preadv/pwritev, io_submit, io_uring)
or the SCSI passthrough ioctl SG_IO.
In the latter case, the size of each transfer can be limited by the
HBA, while for file descriptor I/O the kernel is able to split and
merge I/O in smaller pieces as needed. Applying the HBA limits to
file descriptor I/O results in more system calls and suboptimal
performance, so this patch splits the max_transfer limit in two:
max_transfer remains valid and is used in general, while max_hw_transfer
is limited to the maximum hardware size. max_hw_transfer can then be
included by the scsi-generic driver in the block limits page, to ensure
that the stricter hardware limit is used.

Currently, blk_is_read_only() tells whether a given BlockBackend can
only be used in read-only mode because its root node is read-only. Some
callers actually try to answer a slightly different question: Is the
BlockBackend configured to be writable, by taking write permissions on
the root node?
This can differ, for example, for CD-ROM devices which don't take write
permissions, but may be backed by a writable image file. scsi-cd allows
write requests to the drive if blk_is_read_only() returns false.
However, the write request will immediately run into an assertion
failure because the write permission is missing.
This patch introduces separate functions for both questions.
blk_supports_write_perm() answers the question whether the block
node/image file can support writable devices, whereas blk_is_writable()
tells whether the BlockBackend is currently configured to be writable.
All calls of blk_is_read_only() are converted to one of the two new
functions.

External callers of blk_co_*() and of the synchronous blk_*() functions

This patch moves the actual operations to static functions that can

once, even for external callers using the blk_co_*() coroutine
interfaces.

We have two drivers (iscsi and file-posix) that (in some cases) return
success from their .bdrv_co_truncate() implementation if the block
device is larger than the requested offset, but cannot be shrunk. Some

This patch just adds the parameter and lets the block/io.c and
block/block-backend.c functions pass it around. All other callers
always pass false and none of the implementations evaluate it, so that
this patch does not change existing behavior. Future patches take care
of that.

This fixes devices like IDE that can still start new requests from I/O
handlers in the CPU thread while the block backend is drained.
The basic assumption is that in a drain section, no new requests should
be allowed through a BlockBackend (blk_drained_begin/end don't exist,
we get drain sections only on the node level). However, there are two
special cases where requests should not be queued:
1. Block jobs: We already make sure that block jobs are paused in a
drain section, so they won't start new requests. However, if the
drain_begin is called on the job's BlockBackend first, it can happen
that we deadlock because the job stays busy until it reaches a pause
point - which it can't if its requests aren't processed any more.
The proper solution here would be to make all requests through the
job's filter node instead of using a BlockBackend. For now, just
disabling request queuing on the job BlockBackend is simpler.
2. In test cases where making requests through bdrv_* would be
cumbersome because we'd need a BdrvChild. As we already got the
functionality to disable request queuing from 1., use it in tests,
too, for convenience.

The functionality offered by blk_pread_unthrottled() goes back to commit
498e386c58. Then, we couldn't perform I/O throttling with synchronous
requests because timers wouldn't be executed in polling loops. So the
commit automatically disabled I/O throttling as soon as a synchronous
request was issued.
However, for geometry detection during disk initialisation, we always
used (and still use) synchronous requests even if guest requests use AIO
later. Geometry detection was not wanted to disable I/O throttling, so
bdrv_pread_unthrottled() was introduced which disabled throttling only
temporarily.
All of this isn't necessary any more because we do run timers in polling
loop and even synchronous requests are now using coroutine
infrastructure internally. For this reason, commit 90c78624f already
removed the automatic disabling of I/O throttling.
It's time to get rid of the workaround for the removed code, and its
abuse of blk_root_drained_begin()/end(), as well.
