2016-01-20block: Clean up includesPeter Maydell
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers which it implies are not included manually. This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.

2015-10-20coroutine: move into libqemuutil.a libraryDaniel P. Berrange
The coroutine files are currently referenced by the block-obj-y variable. The coroutine functionality though is already used by more than just the block code. eg migration code uses coroutine yield. In the future the I/O channel code will also use the coroutine yield functionality. Since the coroutine code is nicely self-contained it can be easily built as part of the libqemuutil.a library, making it widely available. The headers are also moved into include/qemu, instead of the include/block directory, since they are now part of the util codebase, and the impl was never in the block/ directory either.

2015-03-16block: Fix block-set-write-threshold not to use funky error classMarkus Armbruster
Error classes are a leftover from the days of "rich" error objects. New code should always use ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR. Commit e246211 added a use of ERROR_CLASS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND. Replace it.

2015-02-06block: add event when disk usage exceeds thresholdFrancesco Romani
Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive use of thin-provisioned disk images. To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold is reached or exceeded. In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command. This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale: deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare. To fix this, this patch adds: * A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for a given block device. * A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device usage exceeds the threshold. * A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure, to report the configured threshold. This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling. [Updated qemu-iotests 067 output to add the new 'write_threshold' property. --Stefan] [Changed g_assert_false() to !g_assert() to fix the build on older glib versions. --Kevin] Signed-off-by: Francesco Romani <fromani@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-id: 1421068273-692-1-git-send-email-fromani@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
