This optimises the discard operation for freed clusters by batching
discard requests (both snapshot deletion and bdrv_discard end up
updating the refcounts cluster by cluster).
Note that we don't discard asynchronously, but keep s->lock held. This
is to avoid that a freed cluster is reallocated and written to while the
discard is still in flight.

This adds a refcount update reason to all callers of update_refcounts(),
so that a follow-up patch can use this information to decide whether
clusters that reach a refcount of 0 should be discarded in the image
file.

This catches the situation that is described in the bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/865518 and goes like this:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 huge.qcow2 $((1024*1024))T
Formatting 'huge.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1152921504606846976 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
$ qemu-io /tmp/huge.qcow2 -c "write $((1024*1024*1024*1024*1024*1024 - 1024)) 512"
Segmentation fault
With this patch applied the segfault will be avoided, however the case
will still fail, though gracefully:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/huge.qcow2 $((1024*1024))T
Formatting 'huge.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1152921504606846976 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
qemu-img: The image size is too large for file format 'qcow2'
Note that even long before these overflow checks kick in, you get
insanely high memory usage (up to INT_MAX * sizeof(uint64_t) = 16 GB for
the L1 table), so with somewhat smaller image sizes you'll probably see
qemu aborting for a failed g_malloc().
If you need huge image sizes, you should increase the cluster size to
the maximum of 2 MB in order to get higher limits.

Instead of just checking once in exactly this order if there are
dependendies, non-COW clusters and new allocation, this starts looping
around these. This way we can, for example, gather non-COW clusters after
new allocations as long as the host cluster offsets stay contiguous.
Once handle_dependencies() is extended so that COW areas of in-flight
allocations can be overwritten, this allows to continue with gathering
other clusters (we wouldn't be able to do that without this change
because we would have missed a possible second dependency in one of the
next clusters).
This means that in the typical sequential write case, we can combine the
COW overwrite of one cluster with the allocation of the next cluster as
soon as something like Delayed COW gets actually implemented. It is only
by avoiding splitting requests this way that Delayed COW actually starts
improving performance noticably.

This patch is mainly to separate the indentation change from the

Instead of expecting a single l2meta, have a list of them. This allows
to still have a single I/O request for the guest data, even though
multiple l2meta may be needed in order to describe both a COW overwrite
and a new cluster allocation (typical sequential write case).

This gets rid of the nb_clusters and keep_clusters and the associated
complicated calculations. Just advance the number of bytes that have
been processed and everything is fine.
This patch advances the variables even after the last operation even
though they aren't used any more afterwards to make things look more
uniform. A later patch will turn the whole thing into a loop and then
it actually starts making sense.

Handling overlapping allocations isn't just a detail of cluster
allocation. It is rather one of three ways to get the host cluster
offset for a write request:
1. If a request overlaps an in-flight allocations, the cluster offset
can be taken from there (this is what handle_dependencies will evolve
into) or the request must just wait until the allocation has
completed. Accessing the L2 is not valid in this case, it has
outdated information.
2. Outside overlapping areas, check the clusters that can be written to
as they are, with no COW involved.
3. If a COW is required, allocate new clusters
Changing the code to reflect this doesn't change the behaviour because
overlaps cannot exist for clusters that are kept in step 2. It does
however make it easier for later patches to work on clusters that belong
to an allocation that is still in flight.

Otherwise, live migration of the top layer will miss zero clusters and
let the backing file show through. This also matches what is done in qed.
QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO clusters are invalid in v2 image files. Check this

qcow2 images now accept a boolean lazy_refcounts options. Use it like
this:
-drive file=test.qcow2,lazy_refcounts=on
If the option is specified on the command line, it overrides the default
specified by the qcow2 header flags that were set when creating the
image.

Even for writes to already allocated clusters, an l2meta is allocated,

Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones
refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty. In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.
Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM). Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.
The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough
Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

avail_sectors should really be the number of sectors from the start of
the allocation, not from the start of the write request.
We're lucky enough that this mistake didn't cause any real bug.
avail_sectors is only used in the intialiser of QCowL2Meta:
.nb_available = MIN(requested_sectors, avail_sectors),
m->nb_available in turn is only used for COW at the end of the
allocation. A COW occurs only if the request wasn't cluster aligned,
which in turn would imply that requested_sectors was less than
avail_sectors (both in the original and in the fixed version). In this
case avail_sectors is ignored and therefore the mistake doesn't cause
any misbehaviour.

This fixes a regression introduced in commit 250196f1. The bug leads to
data corruption, found during an Autotest run with a Fedora 8 guest.
Consider a write request whose first part is covered by an already
allocated cluster, but additional clusters need to be newly allocated.
When counting the number of clusters to allocate, the qcow2 code would
decide to do COW for all remaining clusters of the write request, even
if some of them are already allocated.
If during this COW operation another write request is issued that touches
the same cluster, it will still refer to the old cluster. When the COW
completes, the first request will update the L2 table and the second
write request will be lost. Note that the requests need not overlap, it's
enough for them to touch the same cluster.
This patch ensures that only clusters that really require COW are
considered for allocation. In this case any other request writing to the
same cluster will be an allocating write and gets serialised.

qcow2_alloc_compressed_cluster_offset() already fails if the copied flag

If the first part of a write request is allocated, but the second isn't
and it can be allocated so that the resulting area is contiguous, handle
it at once. This is a common case for sequential writes.
After this patch, alloc_cluster_offset() only checks if the clusters are
already allocated or how many new clusters can be allocated contigouosly.
The actual cluster allocation is split off into a new function
do_alloc_cluster_offset().
