2023-06-28vhdx: mark more functions as coroutine_fns and GRAPH_RDLOCKPaolo Bonzini
Mark functions as coroutine_fn when they are only called by other coroutine_fns and they can suspend. Change calls to co_wrappers to use the non-wrapped functions, which in turn requires adding GRAPH_RDLOCK annotations.

2023-04-11block/vhdx: fix dynamic VHDX BAT corruptionLukas Tschoke
The corruption occurs when a BAT entry aligned to 4096 bytes is changed. Specifically, the corruption occurs during the creation of the LOG Data Descriptor. The incorrect behavior involves copying 4088 bytes from the original 4096 bytes aligned offset to `tmp[8..4096]` and then copying the new value for the first BAT entry to the beginning `tmp[0..8]`. This results in all existing BAT entries inside the 4K region being incorrectly moved by 8 bytes and the last entry being lost. This bug did not cause noticeable corruption when only sequentially writing once to an empty dynamic VHDX (e.g. using `qemu-img convert -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic ...`), but it still resulted in invalid values for the (unused) Sector Bitmap BAT entries. Importantly, this corruption would only become noticeable after the corrupted BAT is re-read from the file.

2023-01-20include/block: Untangle inclusion loopsMarkus Armbruster
We have two inclusion loops: block/block.h -> block/block-global-state.h -> block/block-common.h -> block/blockjob.h -> block/block.h block/block.h -> block/block-io.h -> block/block-common.h -> block/blockjob.h -> block/block.h I believe these go back to Emanuele's reorganization of the block API, merged a few months ago in commit d7e2fe4aac8. Fortunately, breaking them is merely a matter of deleting unnecessary includes from headers, and adding them back in places where they are now missing.

2021-06-02block: consistently use bdrv_is_read_only()Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
It's better to use accessor function instead of bs->read_only directly. In some places use bdrv_is_writable() instead of checking both BDRV_O_RDWR set and BDRV_O_INACTIVE not set.

We have two drivers (iscsi and file-posix) that (in some cases) return success from their .bdrv_co_truncate() implementation if the block device is larger than the requested offset, but cannot be shrunk. Some callers do not want that behavior, so this patch adds a new parameter that they can use to turn off that behavior. This patch just adds the parameter and lets the block/io.c and block/block-backend.c functions pass it around. All other callers always pass false and none of the implementations evaluate it, so that this patch does not change existing behavior. Future patches take care of that.

2019-02-25block: Use bdrv_refresh_filename() to pullMax Reitz
Before this patch, bdrv_refresh_filename() is used in a pushing manner: Whenever the BDS graph is modified, the parents of the modified edges are supposed to be updated (recursively upwards). However, that is nonviable, considering that we want child changes not to concern parents. Also, in the long run we want a pull model anyway: Here, we would have a bdrv_filename() function which returns a BDS's filename, freshly constructed. This patch is an intermediate step. It adds bdrv_refresh_filename() calls before every place a BDS.filename value is used. The only exceptions are protocol drivers that use their own filename, which clearly would not profit from refreshing that filename before. Also, bdrv_get_encrypted_filename() is removed along the way (as a user of BDS.filename), since it is completely unused. In turn, all of the calls to bdrv_refresh_filename() before this patch are removed, because we no longer have to call this function on graph changes.

Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer versions of clang warn about this. Avoid the bug by not using the "modify in place" byte swapping functions. There are a few places where the in-place swap function is used on something other than a packed struct field; we convert those anyway, for consistency.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h, compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a similar job to this file and are under similar constraints." qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of 100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need. Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List. Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h, sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h comment quoted above similarly. This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on qapi-types.h shrinks only a little.

If there is a dirty log file to be replayed in a VHDX image, it is replayed in .vhdx_open(). However, if the file is opened read-only, then a somewhat cryptic error message results. This adds a more helpful error message for the user. If an image file contains a log to be replayed, and is opened read-only, the user is instructed to run 'qemu-img check -r all' on the image file. Running qemu-img check -r all will cause the image file to be opened r/w, which will replay the log file. If a log file replay is detected, this is flagged, and bdrv_check will increase the corruptions_fixed count for the image.

The VHDX log is a circular buffer, with elements (sectors) of 4KB. A log entry is a variably-length number of sectors, that is comprised of a header and 'descriptors', that describe each sector. A log may contain multiple entries, know as a log sequence. In a log sequence, each log entry immediately follows the previous entry, with an incrementing sequence number. There can only ever be one active and valid sequence in the log. Each log entry must match the file log GUID in order to be valid (along with other criteria). Once we have flushed all valid log entries, we marked the file log GUID to be zero, which indicates a buffer with no valid entries.
