Fam Zheng 67a0fd2a9b block: Add "file" output parameter to block status query functions
The added parameter can be used to return the BDS pointer which the
valid offset is referring to. Its value should be ignored unless
BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID in ret is set.

Until block drivers fill in the right value, let's clear it explicitly
right before calling .bdrv_get_block_status.

The "bs->file" condition in bdrv_co_get_block_status is kept now to keep iotest
case 102 passing, and will be fixed once all drivers return the right file
pointer.

Kevin Wolf 04c01a5c8f block: Rename BDRV_O_INCOMING to BDRV_O_INACTIVE
Instead of covering only the state of images on the migration
destination before the migration is completed, the flag will also cover
the state of images on the migration source after completion. This
common state implies that the image is technically still open, but no
writes will happen and any cached contents will be reloaded from disk if
and when the image leaves this state.

Fam Zheng 67da1dc5ce block: Introduce BlockDriver.bdrv_drain callback
Drivers can have internal request sources that generate IO, like the
need_check_timer in QED. Since we want quiesced periods that contain
nested event loops in block layer, we need to have a way to disable such
event sources.

Block drivers must implement the "bdrv_drain" callback if it has any
internal sources that can generate I/O activity, like a timer or a
worker thread (even in a library) that can schedule QEMUBH in an
asynchronous callback.

Update the comments of bdrv_drain and bdrv_drained_begin accordingly.

Like bdrv_requests_pending(), we should consider all the children of bs.
Before, the while loop just works, as bdrv_requests_pending() already
tracks its children; now we mustn't miss the callback, so recurse down
explicitly.

Currently all drivers that support .bdrv_aio_ioctl also implement
.bdrv_ioctl redundantly.  To track ioctl requests in block layer it is
easier if we unify the two paths, because we'll need to run it in a

Max Reitz 53d8f9d8fb block: Remove wr_highest_sector from BlockAcctStats
BlockAcctStats contains statistics about the data transferred from and
to the device; wr_highest_sector does not fit in with the rest.

Furthermore, those statistics are supposed to be specific for a certain
device and not necessarily for a BDS (see the comment above
bdrv_get_stats()); on the other hand, wr_highest_sector may be a rather
important information to know for each BDS. When BlockAcctStats is
finally removed from the BDS, we will want to keep wr_highest_sector in
the BDS.

Finally, wr_highest_sector is renamed to wr_highest_offset and given the
appropriate meaning. Externally, it is represented as an offset so there
is no point in doing something different internally. Its definition is
changed to match that in qapi/block-core.json which is "the offset after
the greatest byte written to". Doing so should not cause any harm since
if external programs tried to calculate the volume usage by
(wr_highest_offset + 512) / volume_size, after this patch they will just
assume the volume to be full slightly earlier than before.

 * The bdrv_drain_all() comment is still partially correct but reflects

Do make it clear that bdrv_drain() is only appropriate within an
AioContext.  For anything spanning AioContexts you need
bdrv_drain_all().

Dimitris Aragiorgis 1b6bc94d5d Fix migration in case of scsi-generic
During migration, QEMU uses fsync()/fdatasync() on the open file
descriptor for read-write block devices to flush data just before
stopping the VM.

However, fsync() on a scsi-generic device returns -EINVAL which
causes the migration to fail. This patch skips flushing data in case
of an SG device, since submitting SCSI commands directly via an SG
character device (e.g. /dev/sg0) bypasses the page cache completely,
anyway.

Note that fsync() not only flushes the page cache but also the disk
cache. The scsi-generic device never sends flushes, and for
migration it assumes that the same SCSI device is used by the
destination host, so it does not issue any SCSI SYNCHRONIZE CACHE
(10) command.

Finally, remove the bdrv_is_sg() test from iscsi_co_flush() since
this is now redundant (we flush the underlying protocol at the end
of bdrv_co_flush() which, with this patch, we never reach).

- The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right

- If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token

performs 5% better if buf is aligned to 4096 bytes.

The difference is quite reliable.

On the other hand we do not want at the moment to enforce bounce
buffering if guest request is aligned to 512 bytes.

The patch changes default bounce buffer optimal alignment to
MAX(page size, 4k). 4k is chosen as maximal known sector size on real
HDD.

The justification of the performance improve is quite interesting.
From the kernel point of view each request to the disk was split
by two. This could be seen by blktrace like this:
  9,0   11  1     0.000000000 11151  Q  WS 312737792 + 1023 [qemu-img]
  9,0   11  2     0.000007938 11151  Q  WS 312738815 + 8 [qemu-img]
  9,0   11  3     0.000030735 11151  Q  WS 312738823 + 1016 [qemu-img]
  9,0   11  4     0.000032482 11151  Q  WS 312739839 + 8 [qemu-img]
  9,0   11  5     0.000041379 11151  Q  WS 312739847 + 1016 [qemu-img]
  9,0   11  6     0.000042818 11151  Q  WS 312740863 + 8 [qemu-img]
  9,0   11  7     0.000051236 11151  Q  WS 312740871 + 1017 [qemu-img]
  9,0    5  1     0.169071519 11151  Q  WS 312741888 + 1023 [qemu-img]
After the patch the pattern becomes normal:
  9,0    6  1     0.000000000 12422  Q  WS 314834944 + 1024 [qemu-img]
  9,0    6  2     0.000038527 12422  Q  WS 314835968 + 1024 [qemu-img]
  9,0    6  3     0.000072849 12422  Q  WS 314836992 + 1024 [qemu-img]
  9,0    6  4     0.000106276 12422  Q  WS 314838016 + 1024 [qemu-img]
and the amount of requests sent to disk (could be calculated counting
number of lines in the output of blktrace) is reduced about 2 times.

Both qemu-img and qemu-io are affected while qemu-kvm is not. The guest
does his job well and real requests comes properly aligned (to page).

Denis V. Lunev 4196d2f030 block: minimal bounce buffer alignment
The patch introduces new concept: minimal memory alignment for bounce
buffers. Original so called "optimal" value is actually minimal required
value for aligment. It should be used for validation that the IOVec
is properly aligned and bounce buffer is not required.

Though, from the performance point of view, it would be better if
bounce buffer or IOVec allocated by QEMU will be aligned stricter.

The patch does not change any alignment value yet.

Paolo Bonzini eaf5fe2dd4 block: return EPERM on writes or discards to read-only devices
This is the behavior in the operating system, for example Linux's
blkdev_write_iter has the following:

        if (bdev_read_only(I_BDEV(bd_inode)))
                return -EPERM;

This does not apply to opening a device for read/write, when the
device only supports read-only operation.  In this case any of
EACCES, EPERM or EROFS is acceptable depending on why writing is
not possible.

Stefan Hajnoczi 61007b316c block: move I/O request processing to block/io.c
The block.c file has grown to over 6000 lines.  It is time to split this
file so there are fewer conflicts and the code is easier to maintain.

Extract I/O request processing code:
 * Read
 * Write
 * Zero writes and making the image empty
 * Flush
 * Discard
 * ioctl
 * Tracked requests and queuing
 * Throttling and copy-on-read
 * Block status and allocated functions
 * Refreshing block limits
 * Reading/writing vmstate
 * qemu_blockalign() and friends

The patch simply moves code from block.c into block/io.c.
