Some guests (win2008 server for example) do a lot of unnecessary
flushing when underlying media has not changed. This adds additional
overhead on host when calling fsync/fdatasync.
This change introduces a write generation scheme in BlockDriverState.
Current write generation is checked against last flushed generation to
avoid unnessesary flushes.
The problem with excessive flushing was found by a performance test
which does parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes).
Results improved from 0.424 loops/sec to 0.432 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.
This affected some blkdebug testcases that were expecting error logs from
failure-injected flushes which are now skipped entirely
(tests 026 071 089).
This also affects the performance of block jobs and thus BLOCK_JOB_READY
events for driver-mirror and active block-commit commands now arrives
faster, before QMP send successfully returns to caller (tests 141 144).

Invoking io_setup(MAX_EVENTS) we ask kernel to create ring buffer for us
with specified number of events. But kernel ring buffer allocation logic
is a bit tricky (ring buffer is page size aligned + some percpu allocation
are required) so eventually more than requested events number is allocated.
From a userspace side we have to follow the convention and should not try
to io_submit() more or logic, which consumes completed events, should be
changed accordingly. The pitfall is in the following sequence:
MAX_EVENTS = 128
io_setup(MAX_EVENTS)
io_submit(MAX_EVENTS)
io_submit(MAX_EVENTS)
/* now 256 events are in-flight */
io_getevents(MAX_EVENTS) = 128
/* we can handle only 128 events at once, to be sure
* that nothing is pended the io_getevents(MAX_EVENTS)
* call must be invoked once more or hang will happen. */
To prevent the hang or reiteration of io_getevents() call this patch
restricts the number of in-flights, which is now limited to MAX_EVENTS.

squash! linux-aio: share one LinuxAioState within an AioContext
First, bdrv_open_child() expects all options for the child to be
prefixed by the child's name (and a separating dot). Second,
bdrv_open_child() does not take ownership of the QDict passed to it but
only extracts all options for the child, so if a QDict is created for
the sole purpose of passing it to bdrv_open_child(), it needs to be
freed afterwards.

ratelimit_calculate_delay() previously reset the accounting every time
slice, no matter how much data had been processed before. This had (at
least) two consequences:
1. The minimum speed is rather large, e.g. 5 MiB/s for commit and stream.
Not sure if there are real-world use cases where this would be a
problem. Mirroring and backup over a slow link (e.g. DSL) would
come to mind, though.
2. Tests for block job operations (e.g. cancel) were rather racy
All block jobs currently use a time slice of 100ms. That's a
reasonable value to get smooth output during regular
operation. However this also meant that the state of block jobs
changed every 100ms, no matter how low the configured limit was. On
busy hosts, qemu often transferred additional chunks until the test
case had a chance to cancel the job.
Fix the block job rate limit code to delay for more than one time
slice to address the above issues. To make it easier to handle
oversized chunks we switch the semantics from returning a delay
_before_ the current request to a delay _after_ the current
request. If necessary, this delay consists of multiple time slice
units.
Since the mirror job sends multiple chunks in one go even if the rate
limit was exceeded in between, we need to keep track of the start of
the current time slice so we can correctly re-compute the delay for
the updated amount of data.
The minimum bandwidth now is 1 data unit per time slice. The block
jobs are currently passing the amount of data transferred in sectors
and using 100ms time slices, so this translates to 5120
bytes/second. With chunk sizes usually being O(512KiB), tests have
plenty of time (O(100s)) to operate on block jobs. The chance of a
race condition now is fairly remote, except possibly on insanely
loaded systems.

Recently, qcow2_get_cluster_offset() has been changed to work with bytes

possible integer multiplication overflow.
This could be reproduced using e.g.

Formatting 'foo.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=8589934592 encryption=off

$ qemu-io -c map blub.qcow2

Assertion `bytes_needed <= INT_MAX' failed.
[1] 20775 abort (core dumped) qemu-io -c map foo.qcow2
This patch removes the now wrong assertion, adding comments and more
assertions to prove its correctness (and fixing the overflow which would
become apparent with the original assertion removed).

When a new job is created, the job ID is taken from the device name of
the BDS. This patch adds a new 'job_id' parameter to let the caller
provide one instead.
This patch also verifies that the ID is always unique and well-formed.
This causes problems in a couple of places where no ID is being set,
because the BDS does not have a device name.
In the case of test_block_job_start() (from test-blockjob-txn.c) we
can simply use this new 'job_id' parameter to set the missing ID.
In the case of img_commit() (from qemu-img.c) we still don't have the
API to make commit_active_start() set the job ID, so we solve it by
setting a default value. We'll get rid of this as soon as we extend

Making each output visitor provide its own output collection
function was the only remaining reason for exposing visitor
sub-types to the rest of the code base. Add a polymorphic
visit_complete() function which is a no-op for input visitors,
and which populates an opaque pointer for output visitors. For
maximum type-safety, also add a parameter to the output visitor
constructors with a type-correct version of the output pointer,
and assert that the two uses match.
This approach was considered superior to either passing the
output parameter only during construction (action at a distance
during visit_free() feels awkward) or only during visit_complete()
(defeating type safety makes it easier to use incorrectly).
Most callers were function-local, and therefore a mechanical
conversion; the testsuite was a bit trickier, but the previous
cleanup patch minimized the churn here.
The visit_complete() function may be called at most once; doing
so lets us use transfer semantics rather than duplication or
ref-count semantics to get the just-built output back to the
caller, even though it means our behavior is not idempotent.

Rather than making the dealloc visitor track of stack of pointers
remembered during visit_start_* in order to free them during
visit_end_*, it's a lot easier to just make all callers pass the
same pointer to visit_end_*. The generated code has access to the
same pointer, while all other users are doing virtual walks and
can pass NULL. The dealloc visitor is then greatly simplified.
All three visit_end_*() functions intentionally take a void**,
even though the visit_start_*() functions differ between void**,
GenericList**, and GenericAlternate**. This is done for several
reasons: when doing a virtual walk, passing NULL doesn't care
what the type is, but when doing a generated walk, we already
have to cast the caller's specific FOO* to call visit_start,
while using void** lets us use visit_end without a cast. Also,
an upcoming patch will add a clone visitor that wants to use
the same implementation for all three visit_end callbacks,
which is made easier if all three share the same signature.
For visitors with already track per-object state (the QMP visitors
via a stack, and the string visitors which do not allow nesting),
add an assertion that the caller is indeed passing the same
pointer to paired calls.

This is the final patch for converting the common I/O path to take
a BdrvChild parameter instead of BlockDriverState.
The completion of this conversion means that all users that perform I/O
on an image need to actually hold a reference (in the form of BdrvChild,
possible as part of a BlockBackend) to that image. This also protects
against inconsistent use of BlockBackend vs. BlockDriverState functions
because direct use of a BlockDriverState isn't possible any more and
blk->root is private for block-backends.c.
In addition, we can now distinguish different users in the I/O path,
and the future op blockers work is going to add assertions based on
permissions stored in BdrvChild.

Simplify a couple of conditionals, now that we have audited and
documented that request_alignment is always non-zero.

During bdrv_merge_limits(), we were computing initial limits
based on another BDS in two places. At first glance, the two
computations are not identical (one is doing straight copying,
the other is doing merging towards or away from zero) - but
when you realize that the first round is starting with all-0
memory, all of the merging happens to work. Factoring out the
merging makes it easier to track how two BDS limits are merged,
in case we have future reasons to merge in even more limits.

The raw block driver was blindly copying all limits from bs->file,
even though: 1. the main bdrv_refresh_limits() already does this
for many of the limits, and 2. blindly copying from the children
can weaken any stricter limits that were already inherited from
the backing chain during the main bdrv_refresh_limits(). Also,
a future patch is about to move .request_alignment into
BlockLimits, and that is a limit that should NOT be copied from
other layers in the BDS chain.
Thus, we can completely drop raw_refresh_limits(), and rely on
the block layer setting up the proper limits.

Sector-based limits are awkward to think about; in our on-going
quest to move to byte-based interfaces, convert max_discard and
discard_alignment. Rename them, using 'pdiscard' as an aid to
track which remaining discard interfaces need conversion, and so
that the compiler will help us catch the change in semantics
across any rebased code. The BlockLimits type is now completely
byte-based; and in iscsi.c, sector_limits_lun2qemu() is no
longer needed.
pdiscard_alignment is made unsigned (we use power-of-2 alignments
as bitmasks, where unsigned is easier to think about) while
leaving max_pdiscard signed (since we still have an 'int'
interface); this is comparable to what commit cf081fc did for
write zeroes limits. We may later want to make everything an
unsigned 64-bit limit - but that requires a bigger code audit.
