On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block job.
For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.
In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.
With this extension to the block-stream api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the active layer as part of the block-stream
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the active image metadata fails, then the block-stream
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing
file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image
to modify in that case).
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

This allows a user to make a live change to the backing file recorded in
an open image.
The image file to modify can be specified 2 ways:
1) image filename
2) image node-name
Note: this does not cause the backing file itself to be reopened; it
merely changes the backing filename in the image file structure, and
in internal BDS structures.
It is the responsibility of the user to pass a filename string that
can be resolved when the image chain is reopened, and the filename
string is not validated.
A good analogy for this command is that it is a live version of
'qemu-img rebase -u', with respect to changing the backing file string.
[Jeff is offline so I respun this patch in his absence. Dropped image
filename since using node-name is preferred and this is a new command.
No need to introduce the limitations of finding images by filename.

If we check for the RESIZE blocker in bdrv_truncate(), that means a
commit will fail if the overlay layer is larger than the base, due to
the backing blocker.
This is a regression in behavior from 2.0; currently, commit will try to
grow the size of the base image to match the overlay size, if the
overlay size is larger.
By moving this into the QMP command qmp_block_resize(), it allows
usage of bdrv_truncate() within block jobs.

This drops BlockDriverState.in_use with op_blockers:
- Call bdrv_op_block_all in place of bdrv_set_in_use(bs, 1).
- Call bdrv_op_unblock_all in place of bdrv_set_in_use(bs, 0).
- Check bdrv_op_is_blocked() in place of bdrv_in_use(bs).
The specific types are used, e.g. in place of starting block backup,
bdrv_op_is_blocked(bs, BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP, ...).
There is one exception in block_job_create, where
bdrv_op_blocker_is_empty() is used, because we don't know the operation
type here. This doesn't matter because in a few commits away we will drop
the check and move it to callers that _do_ know the type.
- Check bdrv_op_blocker_is_empty() in place of assert(!bs->in_use).
Note: there is only bdrv_op_block_all and bdrv_op_unblock_all callers at
this moment. So although the checks are specific to op types, this
changes can still be seen as identical logic with previously with
in_use. The difference is error message are improved because of blocker
error info.

Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether a function failed is
either wrong, fragile, or unnecessarily opaque. It's wrong when ERRP
may be null, because errors go undetected when it is. It's fragile
when proving ERRP non-null involves a non-local argument. Else, it's
unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f0).
The error_is_set(errp) in internal_snapshot_prepare() is merely
fragile, because the caller never passes a null errp argument.
Make the code more robust and more obviously correct: receive the
error in a local variable, then propagate it through the parameter.

This patch adds an errp parameter to bdrv_new() and updates all its
callers. The next patches will make use of this in order to check for

Behaviour doesn't change with this patch yet as bdrv_new() doesn't

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:
1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
'*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}
2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
'*device-is-node': 'bool',
'password': 'str'} }
Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

For "none" sync mode in "absolute-paths" mode, the current image should
be used as the backing file for the newly created image.
The current behavior is:
a) If the image to be mirrored has a backing file, use that (which is
wrong, since the operations recorded by "none" are applied to the
image itself, not to its backing file).
b) If the image to be mirrored lacks a backing file, the target doesn't
have one either (which is not really wrong, but not really right,
either; "none" records a set of operations executed on the image
file, therefore having no backing file to apply these operations on
seems rather pointless).
For a, this is clearly a bugfix. For b, it is still a bugfix, although
it might break existing API - but since that case crashed qemu just
three weeks ago (before 1452686495922b81d6cf43edf025c1aef15965c0), we
can safely assume there is no such API relying on that case yet.

Currently we have three QemuOptsList (qemu_common_drive_opts,
qemu_legacy_drive_opts, and qemu_drive_opts), only qemu_drive_opts
is added to vm_config_groups[].
This patch changes query-command-line-options to access three local
QemuOptsLists for drive option, and merge the description items
together.

It should be possible to execute the QMP "drive-mirror" command in
"none" sync mode and "absolute-paths" mode even for block devices
lacking a backing file.
"absolute-paths" does in fact not require a backing file to be present,
as can be seen from the "top" sync mode code path. "top" basically
states that the device should indeed have a backing file - however, the
current code catches the case if it doesn't and then simply treats it as
"full" sync mode, creating a target image without a backing file (in
"absolute-paths" mode). Thus, "absolute-paths" does not imply the target
file must indeed have a backing file.
Therefore, the target file may be left unbacked in case of "none" sync
mode as well, if the specified device is not backed either. Currently,
qemu will crash trying to dereference the backing file pointer since it
assumes that it will always be non-NULL in that case ("none" with
"absolute-paths").
