The 093 throttling test submits twice as many requests as the throttle
limit in order to ensure that we reach the limit. The remaining
requests are left in-flight at the end of each test iteration.
Commit 452589b6b4 ("vl.c/exit: pause cpus
before closing block devices") exposed a hang in 093. This happens
because requests are still in flight when QEMU terminates but
QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL time is frozen. bdrv_drain_all() hangs forever since
throttled requests cannot complete.
Step the clock at the end of each test iteration so in-flight requests
actually finish. This solves the hang and is cleaner than leaving tests
in-flight.
Note that this could also be "fixed" by disabling throttling when drives
are closed in QEMU. That approach has two issues:
1. We must drain requests before disabling throttling, so the hang
cannot be easily avoided!
2. Any time QEMU disables throttling internally there is a chance that
malicious users can abuse the code path to bypass throttling limits.
Therefore it makes more sense to fix the test case than to modify QEMU.

Commit b43671f8 accidentally broke run_test.sh within tests/multiboot;
due to a subtle change in whitespace.
These two commands produce theh same output (at least, for sane $IFS
of space-tab-newline):
echo -e "...$@..."
echo -e "...$*..."
But that's only because echo inserts spaces between multiple arguments
(the $@ case), while the $* form gives a single argument to echo with
the spaces already present.
But when converting to printf %b, there are no automatic spaces between
multiple arguments, so we HAVE to use $*.
It doesn't help that run_test.sh isn't part of 'make check'.

Currently abort handlers only work for the first test function
in a testcase, because the list of abort handlers is not properly
cleared when qtest_quit() is called.
qtest_quit() only deletes the kill_qemu_hook but doesn't completely
clear the abrt_hooks list. The effect is that abrt_hooks.is_setup is
never set to false and in a following test the abrt_hooks list is not
initialized and setup_sigabrt_handler() is not called.
One way to solve this is to clear the list in qtest_quit(), but
that means only asserts between qtest_start and qtest_quit will
be catched by the abort handler.
We can make abort handlers work in all cases if we always setup the
signal handler for SIGABRT in qtest_init.

qemu-iotests 059 left a whole lot of image files behind in the scratch
directory because VMDK creates additional files for extents and cleaning
them up requires the original image intact (it parses qemu-img info
output to find all extent files), but the image overwrote it many times
like it works for all other image formats.
In addition, _use_sample_img overwrites the TEST_IMG variable, causing
new images created afterwards to reuse the name of the sample file
rather than the usual t.IMGFMT.
This patch adds an intermediate _cleanup_test_img after each subtest
that created an image file with additional extent files, and also after
each use of a sample image. _cleanup_test_img is also changed so that it
resets TEST_IMG after a sample image is cleaned up.
Note that this test was failing before this commit and continues to do
so after it. This failure was introduced in commit 9877860 ('block/vmdk:

Commits 0db832f and 6cdbceb introduced the automatic insertion of filter
nodes above the top layer of mirror and commit block jobs. The
assumption made there was that since libvirt doesn't do node-level
management of the block layer yet, it shouldn't be affected by added
nodes.
This is true as far as commands issued by libvirt are concerned. It only
uses BlockBackend names to address nodes, so any operations it performs
still operate on the root of the tree as intended.
However, the assumption breaks down when you consider query commands,
which return data for the wrong node now. These commands also return
information on some child nodes (bs->file and/or bs->backing), which
libvirt does make use of, and which refer to the wrong nodes, too.
One of the consequences is that oVirt gets wrong information about the
image size and stops the VM in response as long as a mirror or commit
job is running:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470634
This patch fixes the problem by hiding the implicit nodes created
automatically by the mirror and commit block jobs in the output of
query-block and BlockBackend-based query-blockstats as long as the user
doesn't indicate that they are aware of those nodes by providing a node
name for them in the QMP command to start the block job.
The node-based commands query-named-block-nodes and query-blockstats
with query-nodes=true still show all nodes, including implicit ones.
This ensures that users that are capable of node-level management can
still access the full information; users that only know BlockBackends
won't use these commands.

BlockdevRef is an alternate of BlockdevOptions (inline definition) and
str (reference to an existing block device by name). BlockdevRef
value "" is special: "no block device should be referenced." It's
actually interpreted that way in just one place: optional member
@backing of COW formats. Semantics:
* Present means "use this block device" as backing storage
* Absent means "default to the one stored in the image"
* Except "" means "don't use backing storage at all"
The first two are perfectly normal: when the parameter is absent, it
defaults to an implied value, but the value's meaning is the same.
The third one overloads the parameter with a second meaning. The
overloading is *implicit*, i.e. it's not visible in the types. Works
here, because "" is not a value block device ID.
Pressing argument values the schema accepts, but are semantically
invalid, into service to mean "do something else entirely" is not
general, as suitable invalid values need not exist. I also find it
ugly.
To clean this up, we could add a separate flag argument to suppress
@backing, or add a distinct value to @backing. This commit implements
the latter: add JSON null to the values of @backing, deprecate "".
Because we're so close to the 2.10 freeze, implement it in the
stupidest way possible: have qmp_blockdev_add() rewrite null to ""
before anything else can see the null. Works, because BlockdevRef
occurs only within arguments of blockdev-add. The proper way to do it
would be rewriting "" to null, preferably in a cleaner way, but that
requires fixing up code to work with null. Add a TODO comment for
that.
