ee42b5ce0b qcow2: Add overlap-check.template option
Being able to set the overlap-check option to a string and then refine
it via the overlap-check.* options is a nice idea for the command line
but does not work so well for non-flattened dicts. In that case, one can
only specify either but not both, so add a field to overlap-check.*
which does the same as directly specifying overlap-check but can be used
in conjunction with the other fields in non-flattened dicts.

440ba08aea qcow2: Constant cache size in bytes
Specifying the metadata cache sizes in clusters results in less clusters
(and much less bytes) covered for small cluster sizes and vice versa.
Using a constant byte size reduces this difference, and makes it
possible to manually specify the cache size in an easily comprehensible
unit.

5dae6e30c5 qcow2: Limit snapshot table size
Even with a limit of 64k snapshots, each snapshot could have a filename
and an ID with up to 64k, which would still lead to pretty large
allocations, which could potentially lead to qemu aborting. Limit the
total size of the snapshot table to an average of 1k per entry when
the limit of 64k snapshots is fully used. This should be plenty for any
reasonable user.

This also fixes potential integer overflows of s->snapshot_size.

fixed. The bug can be triggerred by a larger cluster size than

a89d89d3e6 snapshot: distinguish id and name in snapshot delete
Snapshot creation actually already distinguish id and name since it take
a structured parameter *sn, but delete can't. Later an accurate delete
is needed in qmp_transaction abort and blockdev-snapshot-delete-sync,
so change its prototype. Also *errp is added to tip error, but return
value is kepted to let caller check what kind of error happens. Existing
caller for it are savevm, delvm and qemu-img, they are not impacted by
introducing a new function bdrv_snapshot_delete_by_id_or_name(), which
check the return value and do the operation again.

Before this patch:
  For qcow2, it search id first then name to find the one to delete.
  For rbd, it search name.
  For sheepdog, it does nothing.

After this patch:
  For qcow2, logic is the same by call it twice in caller.
  For rbd, it always fails in delete with id, but still search for name
in second try, no change to user.

Some code for *errp is based on Pavel's patch.

1ebf561c11 qcow2: Discard VM state in active L1 after creating snapshot
During savevm, the VM state is written to the active L1 of the image and
then a snapshot is taken. After that, the VM state isn't needed any more
in the active L1 and should be discarded. This is implemented by this
patch.

The impact of not discarding the VM state is that a snapshot can never
become smaller than any previous snapshot (because it would be padded
with old VM state), and more importantly that future savevm operations
cause unnecessary COWs (with associated flushes), which makes subsequent
snapshots much slower.

a40f1c2add qcow2: Metadata overlap checks
Two new functions are added; the first one checks a given range in the
image file for overlaps with metadata (main header, L1 tables, L2

The second one should be used immediately before writing to the image
file as it calls the first function and, upon collision, marks the
image as corrupt and makes the BDS unusable, thereby preventing
further access.

Both functions take a bitmask argument specifying the structures which
should be checked for overlaps, making it possible to also check
metadata writes against colliding with other structures.

127c84e1a5 block/qcow2.h: Avoid "1LL << 63" (shifts into sign bit)
The expression "1LL << 63" tries to shift the 1 into the sign bit of a

Use "1ULL << 63" as the definition of QCOW_OFLAG_COPIED instead
to avoid this. For consistency, we also update the other QCOW_OFLAG
definitions to use the ULL suffix rather than LL, though only the
shift by 63 is undefined behaviour.

2cf7cfa1cd qcow2: Catch some L1 table index overflows
This catches the situation that is described in the bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/865518 and goes like this:

    $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 huge.qcow2 $((1024*1024))T
    Formatting 'huge.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1152921504606846976 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
    $ qemu-io /tmp/huge.qcow2 -c "write $((1024*1024*1024*1024*1024*1024 - 1024)) 512"
    Segmentation fault

With this patch applied the segfault will be avoided, however the case
will still fail, though gracefully:

    $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/huge.qcow2 $((1024*1024))T
    Formatting 'huge.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1152921504606846976 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
    qemu-img: The image size is too large for file format 'qcow2'

Note that even long before these overflow checks kick in, you get
insanely high memory usage (up to INT_MAX * sizeof(uint64_t) = 16 GB for
the L1 table), so with somewhat smaller image sizes you'll probably see
qemu aborting for a failed g_malloc().

If you need huge image sizes, you should increase the cluster size to
the maximum of 2 MB in order to get higher limits.

17a71e5823 qcow2: Handle dependencies earlier
Handling overlapping allocations isn't just a detail of cluster
allocation. It is rather one of three ways to get the host cluster
offset for a write request:

1. If a request overlaps an in-flight allocations, the cluster offset
   can be taken from there (this is what handle_dependencies will evolve
   into) or the request must just wait until the allocation has
   completed. Accessing the L2 is not valid in this case, it has
   outdated information.

2. Outside overlapping areas, check the clusters that can be written to
   as they are, with no COW involved.

3. If a COW is required, allocate new clusters

Changing the code to reflect this doesn't change the behaviour because
overlaps cannot exist for clusters that are kept in step 2. It does
however make it easier for later patches to work on clusters that belong
to an allocation that is still in flight.

refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty.  In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.

Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM).  Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.

The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:

  qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
  qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough

Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

c61d0004bc qcow2: introduce dirty bit
This patch adds an incompatible feature bit to mark images that have not
been closed cleanly.  When a dirty image file is opened a consistency
check and repair is performed.

Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

6af4e9ead4 qcow2: always operate caches in writeback mode
Writethrough does not need special-casing anymore in the qcow2 caches.
The block layer adds flushes after every guest-initiated data write,
and these will also flush the qcow2 caches to the OS.
