Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 5bb0474778 block: Manipulate bs->file / bs->backing pointers in .attach/.detach
bs->file and bs->backing are a kind of duplication of part of
bs->children. But very useful diplication, so let's not drop them at
all:)

We should manage bs->file and bs->backing in same place, where we
manage bs->children, to keep them in sync.

Moreover, generic io paths are unprepared to BdrvChild without a bs, so
it's double good to clear bs->file / bs->backing when we detach the
child.

Detach is simple: if we detach bs->file or bs->backing child, just
set corresponding field to NULL.

Attach is a bit more complicated. But we still can precisely detect
should we set one of bs->file / bs->backing or not:

- if role is BDRV_CHILD_COW, we definitely deal with bs->backing
- else, if role is BDRV_CHILD_FILTERED (it must be also
  BDRV_CHILD_PRIMARY), it's a filtered child. Use
  bs->drv->filtered_child_is_backing to chose the pointer field to
  modify.
- else, if role is BDRV_CHILD_PRIMARY, we deal with bs->file
- in all other cases, it's neither bs->backing nor bs->file. It's some
  other child and we shouldn't care

OK. This change brings one more good thing: we can (and should) get rid
of all indirect pointers in the block-graph-change transactions:

bdrv_attach_child_common() stores BdrvChild** into transaction to clear
it on abort.

bdrv_attach_child_common() has two callers: bdrv_attach_child_noperm()
just pass-through this feature, bdrv_root_attach_child() doesn't need
the feature.

Look at bdrv_attach_child_noperm() callers:
  - bdrv_attach_child() doesn't need the feature
  - bdrv_set_file_or_backing_noperm() uses the feature to manage
    bs->file and bs->backing, we don't want it anymore
  - bdrv_append() uses the feature to manage bs->backing, again we
    don't want it anymore

So, we should drop this stuff! Great!

We could probably keep BdrvChild** argument to keep the int return
value, but it seems not worth the complexity.

Finally, we now set .file / .backing automatically in generic code and
want to restring setting them by hand outside of .attach/.detach.
So, this patch cleanups all remaining places where they were set.
To find such places I use:

  git grep '\->file ='
  git grep '\->backing ='
  git grep '&.*\<backing\>'
  git grep '&.*\<file\>'

===========
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.


Documentation
=============

Documentation can be found hosted online at
`<https://www.qemu.org/documentation/>`_. The documentation for the
current development version that is available at
`<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/>`_ is generated from the ``docs/``
folder in the source tree, and is built by `Sphinx
<https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.


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:


.. code-block:: shell

  mkdir build
  cd build
  ../configure
  make

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

* `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_
* `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_
* `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_


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

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

.. code-block:: shell

   git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/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 `style section
<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/style.html>`_ of
the Developers Guide.

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

* `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_
* `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_

The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.

.. code-block:: shell

  git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/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:

.. code-block:: shell

  $ 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:

.. code-block:: shell

  $ 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 GitLab issues to track bugs. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:

* `<https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues>`_

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 GitLab.

For additional information on bug reporting consult:

* `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_


ChangeLog
=========

For version history and release notes, please visit
`<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for
more detailed information.


Contact
=======

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

* `<mailto: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:
