this patch adds iscsi_truncate which effectively allows for
online resizing of iscsi volumes. for this to work you have
to resize the volume on your storage and then call

readcapacity16 to update the capacity.
v4:
- factor out complete readcapacity logic into a separate function
- handle capacity change check condition in readcapacity function
(this happens if the block_resize cmd is the first iscsi task
executed after a resize on the storage)
v3:
- remove switch statement in iscsi_open
- create separate patch for brdv_drain_all() in bdrv_truncate()
v2:
- add a general bdrv_drain_all() before bdrv_truncate() to avoid
in-flight AIOs while the device is truncated
- since no AIOs are in flight we can use a sync libiscsi call
to re-read the capacity
- factor out the readcapacity16 logic as it is redundant

The number of blocks of the device is used to compute the device size
in bdrv_getlength()/iscsi_getlength().
For MMC devices, the ReturnedLogicalBlockAddress in the READCAPACITY10
has a special meaning when it is 0.
In this case it does not mean that LBA 0 is the last accessible LBA,
and thus the device has 1 readable block, but instead it means that the
disc is blank and there are no readable blocks.
This change ensures that when the iSCSI LUN is loaded with a blank
DVD-R disk or similar that bdrv_getlength() will return the correct
size of the device as 0 bytes.

This patch fixes two main issues with block/iscsi.c:
1) iscsi_task_mgmt_abort_task_async calls iscsi_scsi_task_cancel which
was also directly called in iscsi_aio_cancel
2) a race between task completion and task abortion could happen cause
the scsi_free_scsi_task were done before iscsi_schedule_bh has finished.
To fix this, all the freeing of IscsiTasks and releasing of the AIOCBs
is centralized in iscsi_bh_cb, independent of whether the SCSI command
has completed or was cancelled.
3) iscsi_aio_cancel was not synchronously waiting for the end of the
command.

Here, the guest would see write 2 superseding write 1, when in fact the

only after the target says whether the cancellation was done or not, and
it will be implemented by the next three patches.

This patch updates the iscsi layer to automatically pick a 'unique'
initiator-name based on the name of the vm in case the user has not set
an explicit iqn-name to use.
Create a new function qemu_get_vm_name() that returns the name of the VM,
if specified.
This way we can thus create default names to use as the initiator name
based on the guest session.
If the VM is not named via the '-name' command line argument, the iscsi
initiator-name used wiull simply be
iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm
If a name for the VM was specified with the '-name' option, iscsi will
use a default initiatorname of
iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm:<name>
These names are just the default iscsi initiator name that qemu will
generate/use only when the user has not set an explicit initiator name
via the commandlines or config files.

If the device we open is a SMC or SSC device, then force the use of sg. We
dont have any medium changer or tape emulation so only passthrough via
real sg or scsi-generic via iscsi would work anyway.
Forcing sg also makes qemu skip trying to read from the device to guess
the image format by reading from the device (find_image_format()).
SMC devices do not implement READ6/10/12/16 so it is not possible to
read from them (SSC have different CDBs).

Update iscsi to allow passthrough of SG_IO scsi commands when the iscsi
device is forced to be scsi-generic.
Implement both bdrv_ioctl() and bdrv_aio_ioctl() in the iscsi backend,
emulate the SG_IO ioctl and pass the SCSI commands across to the
iscsi target.
This allows end-to-end passthrough of SCSI all the way from the guest,
to qemu, via scsi-generic, then libiscsi all the way to the iscsi target.
To activate this you need to specify that the iscsi lun should be treated
as a scsi-generic device.
Example:
-device lsi -device scsi-generic,drive=MyISCSI \
-drive file=iscsi://10.1.1.125/iqn.ronnie.test/1,if=none,id=MyISCSI
Note, you can currently not boot a qemu guest from a scsi device.
Note,
This only works when the host is linux, since the emulation relies on
definitions of SG_IO from the scsi-generic implementation in the
linux kernel.
It should be fairly easy to re-implement some structures similar enough
for non-linux hosts to do the same style of passthrough via a fake
scsi generic layer and libiscsi if need be.

Call qemu_notify_event() after updating events. Otherwise, If we add
an event for -is-writeable but the socket is already writeable there
may be a delay before the event callback is actually triggered.
Those delays would in particular hurt performance during BIOS boot and
when the GRUB bootloader reads the kernel and initrd.
But first call out to the socket write functions directly, and only set up
the write event if the socket is full. This will happen very rarely and
this improves performance.

header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
user = CHAP username

[iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
...

This provides built-in support for iSCSI to QEMU.
This has the advantage that the iSCSI devices need not be made visible to the host, which is useful if you have very many virtual machines and very many iscsi devices.
It also has the benefit that non-root users of QEMU can access iSCSI devices across the network without requiring root privilege on the host.
This driver interfaces with the multiplatform posix library for iscsi initiator/client access to iscsi devices hosted at
git://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi.git
The patch adds the driver to interface with the iscsi library.
It also updated the configure script to
* by default, probe is libiscsi is available and if so, build
qemu against libiscsi.
* --enable-libiscsi
Force a build against libiscsi. If libiscsi is not available
the build will fail.
* --disable-libiscsi
Do not link against libiscsi, even if it is available.
When linked with libiscsi, qemu gains support to access iscsi resources such as disks and cdrom directly, without having to make the devices visible to the host.
You can specify devices using a iscsi url of the form :
iscsi://[<username>[:<password>@]]<host>[:<port]/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
When using authentication, the password can optionally be set with
LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD="password" to avoid it showing up in the process list
