Commit dd577a26ff03b6829721b1ffbbf9e7c411b72378 ("block/file-posix:
implement bdrv_co_invalidate_cache() on Linux") introduced page cache
invalidation so that cache.direct=off live migration is safe on Linux.
The invalidation takes a significant amount of time when the file is
large and present in the page cache. Normally this is not the case for
cross-host live migration but it can happen when migrating between QEMU
processes on the same host.
On same-host migration we don't need to invalidate pages for correctness
anyway, so an option to skip page cache invalidation is useful. I
investigated optimizing invalidation and detecting same-host migration,
but both are hard to achieve so a user-visible option will suffice.
As a bonus this option means that the cache invalidation feature will
now be detectable by libvirt via QMP schema introspection.

If we reopen a BlockDriverState and there is an option that is present
in bs->options but missing from the new set of options then we have to
return an error unless the driver is able to reset it to its default
value.
This patch adds a new 'mutable_opts' field to BlockDriver. This is
a list of runtime options that can be modified during reopen. If an
option in this list is unspecified on reopen then it must be reset (or
return an error).

The bdrv_reopen_queue() function is used to create a queue with
the BDSs that are going to be reopened and their new options. Once
the queue is ready bdrv_reopen_multiple() is called to perform the
operation.
The original options from each one of the BDSs are kept, with the new
options passed to bdrv_reopen_queue() applied on top of them.
For "x-blockdev-reopen" we want a function that behaves much like
"blockdev-add". We want to ignore the previous set of options so that
only the ones actually specified by the user are applied, with the
rest having their default values.
One of the things that we need is a way to tell bdrv_reopen_queue()
whether we want to keep the old set of options or not, and that's what
this patch does. All current callers are setting this new parameter to
true and x-blockdev-reopen will set it to false.

Until now, with auto-read-only=on we tried to open the file read-write
first and if that failed, read-only was tried. This is actually not good
enough for libvirt, which gives QEMU SELinux permissions for read-write
only as soon as it actually intends to write to the image. So we need to
be able to switch between read-only and read-write at runtime.
This patch makes auto-read-only dynamic, i.e. the file is opened
read-only as long as no user of the node has requested write
permissions, but it is automatically reopened read-write as soon as the
first writer is attached. Conversely, if the last writer goes away, the
file is reopened read-only again.
bs->read_only is no longer set for auto-read-only=on files even if the
file descriptor is opened read-only because it will be transparently
upgraded as soon as a writer is attached. This changes the output of
qemu-iotests 232.

In order to be able to dynamically reopen the file read-only or
read-write, depending on the users that are attached, we need to be able
to switch to a different file descriptor during the permission change.
This interacts with reopen, which also creates a new file descriptor and
performs permission changes internally. In this case, the permission
change code must reuse the reopen file descriptor instead of creating a
third one.
In turn, reopen can drop its code to copy file locks to the new file
descriptor because that is now done when applying the new permissions.

There is no reason why we can take locks on the new file descriptor only
in raw_reopen_commit() where error handling isn't possible any more.

Since we now load all bitmaps into memory anyway, we can just truncate
them in-memory and then flush them back to disk. Just in case, we will
still check and enforce that this shortcut is valid -- i.e. that any
bitmap described on-disk is indeed in-memory and can be modified.
If there are any inconsistent bitmaps, we refuse to allow the truncate
as we do not actually load these bitmaps into memory, and it isn't safe
or reasonable to attempt to truncate corrupted data.

Set the inconsistent bit on load instead of rejecting such bitmaps.
There is no way to un-set it; the only option is to delete the bitmap.
Obvervations:
- bitmap loading does not need to update the header for in_use bitmaps.
- inconsistent bitmaps don't need to have their data loaded; they're
glorified corruption sentinels.
- bitmap saving does not need to save inconsistent bitmaps back to disk.
- bitmap reopening DOES need to drop the readonly flag from inconsistent
bitmaps to allow reopening of qcow2 files with non-qemu-owned bitmaps
being eventually flushed back to disk.

Instead of checking against busy, inconsistent, or read only directly,
use a check function with permissions bits that let us streamline the
checks without reproducing them in many places.
Included in this patch are permissions changes that simply add the
inconsistent check to existing permissions call spots, without
addressing existing bugs.
In general, this means that busy+readonly checks become BDRV_BITMAP_DEFAULT,
which checks against all three conditions. busy-only checks become
BDRV_BITMAP_ALLOW_RO.
Notably, remove allows inconsistent bitmaps, so it doesn't follow the pattern.

Currently, the enabled predicate means something like:
"the QAPI status of the bitmap is ACTIVE."
After this patch, it should mean exclusively:
"This bitmap is recording guest writes, and is allowed to do so."
In many places, this is how this predicate was already used.
Internal usages of the bitmap QPI can call user_locked to find out if
the bitmap is in use by an operation.
To accommodate this, modify the create_successor routine to now
explicitly disable the parent bitmap at creation time.
Justifications:
1. bdrv_dirty_bitmap_status suffers no change from the lack of
1:1 parity with the new predicates because of the order in which
the predicates are checked. This is now only for compatibility.
2. bdrv_set_dirty() is unchanged: pre-patch, it was skipping bitmaps that were
disabled or had a successor, while post-patch it is only skipping bitmaps
that are disabled. To accommodate this, create_successor now ensures that
any bitmap with a successor is explicitly disabled.
3. qcow2_store_persistent_dirty_bitmaps: No functional change. This function
cares only about the literal enabled bit, and makes no effort to check if
the bitmap is in-use or not. After this patch there are still no ways to
produce an enabled bitmap with a successor.
4. block_dirty_bitmap_enable_prepare
block_dirty_bitmap_disable_prepare
init_dirty_bitmap_migration
nbd_export_new
These functions care about the literal enabled bit,
and already check user_locked separately.

bdrv_set_dirty_bitmap and bdrv_reset_dirty_bitmap are only used as an
internal API by the mirror and migration areas of our code. These
calls modify the bitmap, but do so at the behest of QEMU and not the
guest.
Presently, these bitmaps are always "enabled" anyway, but there's no
reason they have to be.
Modify these internal APIs to drop this assertion.

"Frozen" was a good description a long time ago, but it isn't adequate now.
Rename the frozen predicate to has_successor to make the semantics of the
predicate more clear to outside callers.
In the process, remove some calls to frozen() that no longer semantically
make sense. For bdrv_enable_dirty_bitmap_locked and
bdrv_disable_dirty_bitmap_locked, it doesn't make sense to prohibit QEMU
internals from performing this action when we only wished to prohibit QMP
users from issuing these commands. All of the QMP API commands for bitmap
manipulation already check against user_locked() to prohibit these actions.
Several other assertions really want to check that the bitmap isn't in-use
by another operation -- use the bitmap_user_locked function for this instead,
which presently also checks for has_successor. This leaves some redundant
checks of has_successor through different helpers that are addressed in
forthcoming patches.

The current API allows us to report a single status, which we've defined as:
Frozen: has a successor, treated as qmp_locked, may or may not be enabled.
Locked: no successor, qmp_locked. may or may not be enabled.
Disabled: Not frozen or locked, disabled.
Active: Not frozen, locked, or disabled.
The problem is that both "Frozen" and "Locked" mean nearly the same thing,
and that both of them do not intuit whether they are recording guest writes
or not.
This patch deprecates that status field and introduces two orthogonal
properties instead to replace it.

The cluster allocation code uses 0 as an invalid offset that is used in
case of errors or as "offset not yet determined". With external data
files, a host cluster offset of 0 becomes valid, though.
Define a constant INV_OFFSET (which is not cluster aligned and will
therefore never be a valid offset) that can be used for such purposes.
This removes the additional host_offset == 0 check that commit
ff52aab2df5 introduced; the confusion between an invalid offset and
(erroneous) allocation at offset 0 is removed with this change.

QEMU 2.12 (commit 1221fe6f636754ab5f2c1c87caa77633e9123622) introduced
a new setting called l2-cache-entry-size that allows making entries on
the qcow2 L2 cache smaller than the cluster size.
I have been performing several tests with different cluster and entry
sizes and all of them show that reducing the entry size (aka L2 slice)
consistently improves I/O performance, notably during random I/O (all
tests done with sequential I/O show similar results). This is to be
expected because loading and evicting an L2 slice is more expensive
the larger the slice is.
Here are some numbers on fully populated 40GB qcow2 images. The
rightmost column represents the maximum L2 cache size in both cases.

As can be seen in the numbers, the only exception to the rule is when
the cache is large enough to hold all L2 tables. This is also to be
expected because in this case no cache entry is ever evicted so
reducing its size doesn't bring any benefit.
This patch sets the default L2 cache entry size to 4KB except when the
cache is large enough for the whole disk.
