Another step towards removing sector-based interfaces: convert
the maximum write and minimum alignment values from sectors to
bytes. Rename the variables to let the compiler check that all
users are converted to the new semantics.
The maximum remains an int as long as BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_SECTORS
is constrained by INT_MAX (this means that we can't even
support a 2G write_zeroes, but just under it) - changing
operation lengths to unsigned or to 64-bits is a much bigger
audit, and debatable if we even want to do it (since at the
core, a 32-bit platform will still have ssize_t as its
underlying limit on write()).
Meanwhile, alignment is changed to 'uint32_t', since it makes no
sense to have an alignment larger than the maximum write, and
less painful to use an unsigned type with well-defined behavior
in bit operations than to have to worry about what happens if
a driver mistakenly supplies a negative alignment.
Add an assert that no one was trying to use sectors to get a
write zeroes larger than 2G, and therefore that a later conversion
to bytes won't be impacted by keeping the limit at 32 bits.

I was thrown by the fact that the public type BlockRequest had
an anonymous union, but no obvious discriminator. Turns out
that the only client of the second branch of the union was code
internal to io.c, now that commit 91c6e4b killed public
multiwrite, so move it into io.c and improve the comments.

This adds a new BlockBackend field to the BlockJob struct, which
coexists with the BlockDriverState while converting the individual jobs.
When creating a block job, a new BlockBackend is created on top of the
given BlockDriverState, and it is destroyed when the BlockJob ends. The
reference to the BDS is now held by the BlockBackend instead of calling
bdrv_ref/unref manually.
We have to be careful when we use bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() in
block jobs because this changes the BDS that job->blk points to. At the
moment block jobs are too tightly coupled with their BDS, so that moving
a job to another BDS isn't easily possible; therefore, we need to just
manually undo this change afterwards.

So far, bdrv_close_all() first removed all root BlockDriverStates of
BlockBackends and monitor owned BDSes, and then assumed that the
remaining BDSes must be related to jobs and cancelled these jobs.
This order doesn't work that well any more when block jobs use
BlockBackends internally because then they will lose their BDS before
being cancelled.
This patch changes bdrv_close_all() to first cancel all jobs and then
remove all root BDSes from the remaining BBs.

When changing the BlockDriverState that a BdrvChild points to while the
node is currently drained, we must call the .drained_end() parent
callback. Conversely, when this means attaching a new node that is
already drained, we need to call .drained_begin().
bdrv_root_attach_child() takes now an opaque parameter, which is needed
because the callbacks must also be called if we're attaching a new child
to the BlockBackend when the root node is already drained, and they need
a way to identify the BlockBackend. Previously, child->opaque was set
too late and the callbacks would still see it as NULL.

There are no callers to bdrv_open() or bdrv_open_inherit() left that

Generally, the following pattern is applied:
bs = NULL;

if (ret < 0) {
error_propagate(errp, local_err);

}
by

When block job errors were introduced, we assigned the iostatus of the

Before we can allow the user to have a second BlockBackend on the

iostatus for the internal BB of the job (which we can always do later),
but certainly not for a separate BB which the job doesn't even use.

The block layer has a couple of cases where it can lose
Force Unit Access semantics when writing a large block of
zeroes, such that the request returns before the zeroes
have been guaranteed to land on underlying media.
SCSI does not support FUA during WRITESAME(10/16); FUA is only
supported if it falls back to WRITE(10/16). But where the
underlying device is new enough to not need a fallback, it
means that any upper layer request with FUA semantics was
silently ignoring BDRV_REQ_FUA.
Conversely, NBD has situations where it can support FUA but not
ZERO_WRITE; when that happens, the generic block layer fallback
to bdrv_driver_pwritev() (or the older bdrv_co_writev() in qemu
2.6) was losing the FUA flag.
The problem of losing flags unrelated to ZERO_WRITE has been
latent in bdrv_co_do_write_zeroes() since commit aa7bfbff, but
back then, it did not matter because there was no FUA flag. It
became observable when commit 93f5e6d8 paved the way for flags
that can impact correctness, when we should have been using
bdrv_co_writev_flags() with modified flags. Compare to commit
9eeb6dd, which got flag manipulation right in
bdrv_co_do_zero_pwritev().
Symptoms: I tested with qemu-io with default writethrough cache
(which is supposed to use FUA semantics on every write), and
targetted an NBD client connected to a server that intentionally
did not advertise NBD_FLAG_SEND_FUA. When doing 'write 0 512',
the NBD client sent two operations (NBD_CMD_WRITE then
NBD_CMD_FLUSH) to get the fallback FUA semantics; but when doing
'write -z 0 512', the NBD client sent only NBD_CMD_WRITE.
The fix is do to a cleanup bdrv_co_flush() at the end of the
operation if any step in the middle relied on a BDS that does
not natively support FUA for that step (note that we don't
need to flush after every operation, if the operation is broken
into chunks based on bounce-buffer sizing). Each BDS gains a
new flag .supported_zero_flags, which parallels the use of
.supported_write_flags but only when accessing a zero write
operation (the flags MUST be different, because of SCSI having
different semantics based on WRITE vs. WRITESAME; and also
because BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP only makes sense on zero writes).
Also fix some documentation to describe -ENOTSUP semantics,
particularly since iscsi depends on those semantics.
Down the road, we may want to add a driver where its
.bdrv_co_pwritev() honors all three of BDRV_REQ_FUA,
BDRV_REQ_ZERO_WRITE, and BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP, and advertise
this via bs->supported_write_flags for blocks opened by that
driver; such a driver should NOT supply .bdrv_co_write_zeroes
nor .supported_zero_flags. But none of the drivers touched
in this patch want to do that (the act of writing zeroes is
different enough from normal writes to deserve a second
callback).

Pre-patch, .supported_write_flags lives at the driver level, which
means we are blindly declaring that all block devices using a
given driver will either equally support FUA, or that we need a
fallback at the block layer. But there are drivers where FUA
support is a per-block decision: the NBD block driver is dependent
on the remote server advertising NBD_FLAG_SEND_FUA (and has
fallback code to duplicate the flush that the block layer would do
if NBD had not set .supported_write_flags); and the iscsi block
driver is dependent on the mode sense bits advertised by the
underlying device (and is currently silently ignoring FUA requests
if the underlying device does not support FUA).
The fix is to make supported flags as a per-BDS option, set during
.bdrv_open(). This patch moves the variable and fixes NBD and iscsi
to set it only conditionally; later patches will then further
simplify the NBD driver to quit duplicating work done at the block
layer, as well as tackle the fact that SCSI does not support FUA
semantics on WRITESAME(10/16) but only on WRITE(10/16).

Using the nested aio_poll() in coroutine is a bad idea. This patch
replaces the aio_poll loop in bdrv_drain with a BH, if called in
coroutine.
For example, the bdrv_drain() in mirror.c can hang when a guest issued
request is pending on it in qemu_co_mutex_lock().
Mirror coroutine in this case has just finished a request, and the block
job is about to complete. It calls bdrv_drain() which waits for the
other coroutine to complete. The other coroutine is a scsi-disk request.
The deadlock happens when the latter is in turn pending on the former to
yield/terminate, in qemu_co_mutex_lock(). The state flow is as below
(assuming a qcow2 image):
mirror coroutine scsi-disk coroutine
-------------------------------------------------------------
do last write
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock()
...
scsi disk read
tracked request begin
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock.enter
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_unlock()
bdrv_drain
while (has tracked request)
aio_poll()
In the scsi-disk coroutine, the qemu_co_mutex_lock() will never return
because the mirror coroutine is blocked in the aio_poll(blocking=true).
With this patch, the added qemu_coroutine_yield() allows the scsi-disk
coroutine to make progress as expected:
mirror coroutine scsi-disk coroutine
-------------------------------------------------------------
do last write
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock()

At the same time, we remove the 'cache.writeback' option parsing on the

This change requires test cases that explicitly enabled the option to

Now that WCE is handled on the BlockBackend level, the flag is
meaningless for BDSes. As the schema requires us to fill the field,
we return an enabled write cache for them.
Note that this means that querying the BlockBackend name may return
writethrough as the cache information, whereas querying the node-name of
the root of that same BlockBackend will return writeback.
This may appear odd at first, but it actually makes sense because it
correctly repesents the layer that implements the WCE handling. This
becomes more apparent when you consider nodes that are the root node of
multiple BlockBackends, where each BB can have its own WCE setting.
