Max Reitz f67503e5bd block: Change BDS parameter of bdrv_open() to **
Make bdrv_open() take a pointer to a BDS pointer, similarly to
bdrv_file_open(). If a pointer to a NULL pointer is given, bdrv_open()
will create a new BDS with an empty name; if the BDS pointer is not
NULL, that existing BDS will be reused (in the same way as bdrv_open()
already did).

Paolo Bonzini 1b7fd72955 block: rename buffer_alignment to guest_block_size
The alignment field is now set to the value that is promised to the
guest, rather than required by the host.  The next patches will make
QEMU aware of the host-provided values, so make this clear.

The alignment is also not about memory buffers, but about the sectors on
the disk, change the documentation of the field.

At this point, the field is set by the device emulation, but completely
ignored by the block layer.

Kevin Wolf 339064d506 block: Don't use guest sector size for qemu_blockalign()
bs->buffer_alignment is set by the device emulation and contains the
logical block size of the guest device. This isn't something that the
block layer should know, and even less something to use for determining
the right alignment of buffers to be used for the host.

The new BlockLimits field opt_mem_alignment tells the qemu block layer
the optimal alignment to be used so that no bounce buffer must be used
in the driver.

This patch may change the buffer alignment from 4k to 512 for all
callers that used qemu_blockalign() with the top-level image format
BlockDriverState. The value was never propagated to other levels in the
tree, so in particular raw-posix never required anything else than 512.

While on disks with 4k sectors direct I/O requires a 4k alignment,
memory may still be okay when aligned to 512 byte boundaries. This is
what must have happened in practice, because otherwise this would
already have failed earlier. Therefore I don't expect regressions even
with this intermediate state. Later, raw-posix can implement the hook
and expose a different memory alignment requirement.

Benoît Canet 12d3ba821d qmp: Allow to change password on named block driver states.
Signed-off-by: Benoit Canet <benoit@irqsave.net>
Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:

1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
                                      '*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}

2)

{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
                                      '*device-is-node': 'bool',
                                      'password': 'str'} }

Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.

Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.

Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.

Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.

Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.

Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.

A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

Fam Zheng e4654d2d94 block: per caller dirty bitmap
Previously a BlockDriverState has only one dirty bitmap, so only one
caller (e.g. a block job) can keep track of writing. This changes the
dirty bitmap to a list and creates a BdrvDirtyBitmap for each caller, the
lifecycle is managed with these new functions:

    bdrv_create_dirty_bitmap
    bdrv_release_dirty_bitmap

Where BdrvDirtyBitmap is a linked list wrapper structure of HBitmap.

In place of bdrv_set_dirty_tracking, a BdrvDirtyBitmap pointer argument
is added to these functions, since each caller has its own dirty bitmap:

    bdrv_get_dirty
    bdrv_dirty_iter_init
    bdrv_get_dirty_count

bdrv_set_dirty and bdrv_reset_dirty prototypes are unchanged but will
internally walk the list of all dirty bitmaps and set them one by one.

.has_zero_init defaults to 1 for all formats and protocols.

this is a dangerous default since this means that all
new added drivers need to manually overwrite it to 0 if
they do not ensure that a device is zero initialized
after bdrv_create().

if a driver needs to explicitly set this value to
1 its easier to verify the correctness in the review process.

during review of the existing drivers it turned out
that ssh and gluster had a wrong default of 1.
both protocols support host_devices as backend
which are not by default zero initialized. this
wrong assumption will lead to possible corruption
if qemu-img convert is used to write to such a backend.

vpc and vmdk also defaulted to 1 altough they support
fixed respectively flat extends. this has to be addresses
in separate patches. both formats as well as the mentioned
ssh and gluster are turned to the default of 0 with this
patch for safety.

a similar problem with the wrong default existed for

The bs_snapshots global variable points to the BlockDriverState which
will be used to save vmstate.  This is really a savevm.c concept but was
moved into block.c:bdrv_snapshots() when it became clear that hotplug
could result in a dangling pointer.

While auditing the block layer's global state I came upon bs_snapshots
and realized that a variable is not necessary here.  Simply find the
first BlockDriverState capable of internal snapshots each time this is
needed.

The behavior of bdrv_snapshots() is preserved across hotplug because new
drives are always appended to the bdrv_states list.  This means that
calling the new find_vmstate_bs() function is idempotent - it returns
the same BlockDriverState unless it was hot-unplugged.

Kevin Wolf 31ca6d077c block: Add driver-specific options for backing files
Options starting in "backing." are passed to the backing file now. If
you don't need to specify the filename for the backing file, you can add
it on the command line instead of in the image file:

$ qemu-nbd -t /tmp/test.img
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 empty.qcow2 1G
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=empty.qcow2,backing.file.driver=nbd,\
    backing.file.host=localhost

Note that this doesn't override the backing filename from the image. If
the image has one, this will fail because NBD doesn't want the options
and a filename at the same time.
