John Snow 0ec4dfb8d6 blockjobs: add block_job_verb permission table
Which commands ("verbs") are appropriate for jobs in which state is
also somewhat burdensome to keep track of.

As of this commit, it looks rather useless, but begins to look more
interesting the more states we add to the STM table.

A recurring theme is that no verb will apply to an 'undefined' job.

Further, it's not presently possible to restrict the "pause" or "resume"
verbs any more than they are in this commit because of the asynchronous
nature of how jobs enter the PAUSED state; justifications for some
seemingly erroneous applications are given below.

=====
Verbs
=====

Cancel:    Any state except undefined.
Pause:     Any state except undefined;
           'created': Requests that the job pauses as it starts.
           'running': Normal usage. (PAUSED)
           'paused':  The job may be paused for internal reasons,
                      but the user may wish to force an indefinite
                      user-pause, so this is allowed.
           'ready':   Normal usage. (STANDBY)
           'standby': Same logic as above.
Resume:    Any state except undefined;
           'created': Will lift a user's pause-on-start request.
           'running': Will lift a pause request before it takes effect.
           'paused':  Normal usage.
           'ready':   Will lift a pause request before it takes effect.
           'standby': Normal usage.
Set-speed: Any state except undefined, though ready may not be meaningful.
Complete:  Only a 'ready' job may accept a complete request.

=======
Changes
=======

(1)

To facilitate "nice" error checking, all five major block-job verb
interfaces in blockjob.c now support an errp parameter:

- block_job_user_cancel is added as a new interface.
- block_job_user_pause gains an errp paramter
- block_job_user_resume gains an errp parameter
- block_job_set_speed already had an errp parameter.
- block_job_complete already had an errp parameter.

(2)

block-job-pause and block-job-resume will no longer no-op when trying
to pause an already paused job, or trying to resume a job that isn't
paused. These functions will now report that they did not perform the
action requested because it was not possible.

iotests have been adjusted to address this new behavior.

(3)

block-job-complete doesn't worry about checking !block_job_started,
because the permission table guards against this.

(4)

test-bdrv-drain's job implementation needs to announce that it is
'ready' now, in order to be completed.

         QEMU README
         ===========

QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.

QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).

QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.

QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.

QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.


Building
========

QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:

  mkdir build
  cd build
  ../configure
  make

Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:

  https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux
  https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac
  https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32


Submitting patches
==================

The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.

   git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git

When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.

Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website

  https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
  https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches

The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.

  git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu-web.git
  https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/

A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less
cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions,
or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also
requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't
automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps
manually for once.

For installation instructions, please go to

  https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish

The workflow with 'git-publish' is:

  $ git checkout master -b my-feature
  $ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each
  $ git publish

Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.

Sending v2:

  $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
  $ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example)
  $ git publish

Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip
will be tagged as my-feature-v2.

Bug reporting
=============

The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/

If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.

For additional information on bug reporting consult:

  https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug


Contact
=======

The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC

 - qemu-devel@nongnu.org
   https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
 - #qemu on irc.oftc.net

Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be
found online via the QEMU website:
