The NBD layer was breaking up request at a limit of 2040 sectors
(just under 1M) to cater to old qemu-nbd. But the server limit
was raised to 32M in commit 2d8214885 to match the kernel, more
than three years ago; and the upstream NBD Protocol is proposing
documentation that without any explicit communication to state
otherwise, a client should be able to safely assume that a 32M
transaction will work. It is time to rely on the larger sizing,
and any downstream distro that cares about maximum
interoperability to older qemu-nbd servers can just tweak the
value of #define NBD_MAX_SECTORS.

Block jobs that use additional BDSes or event loop resources need a
callback to get their affairs in order when the AioContext is switched.
Simple block jobs don't need an attach callback, they automatically work
thanks to the generic attach/detach notifiers that this patch adds.

It's possible that an AioContext notifier user was close to finishing
when .detach_aio_context() or .attached_aio_context() is called. In
that case they may call bdrv_remove_aio_context_notifier() during the
callback.
Use safe iteration to avoid crashing when the notifier list is modified
during iteration. We must not only handle the case where the current
aio notifier is removed during a callback but also the one where any
other aio notifier is removed.
The next patch adds an AioContext notifier for block jobs and they
really could be terminating just as .detach_aio_context() is invoked.

Block jobs are coroutines that usually perform I/O but sometimes also
sleep or yield. Currently only sleeping or yielded block jobs can be
paused. This means jobs that do not sleep or yield (using
block_job_yield()) are unaffected by block_job_pause().
Add block_job_pause_point() so that block jobs can mark quiescent points
that are suitable for pausing. This solves the problem that it can take
a block job a long time to pause if it is performing a long series of
I/O operations.
Transitioning to paused state involves a .pause()/.resume() callback.
These callbacks are used to ensure that I/O and event loop activity has
ceased while the job is at a pause point.
Note that this patch introduces a stricter pause state than previously.
The job->busy flag was incorrectly documented as a quiescent state
without I/O pending. This is violated by any job that has I/O pending
across sleep or block_job_yield(), like the mirror block job.
[Add missing block_job_should_pause() check to avoid deadlock after
job->driver->pause() in block_job_pause_point().

Declare a constant and use that when determining if an export
name fits within the constraints we are willing to support.
Note that upstream NBD recently documented that clients MUST
support export names of 256 bytes (not including trailing NUL),
and SHOULD support names up to 4096 bytes. 4096 is a bit big
(we would lose benefits of stack-allocation of a name array),
and we already have other limits in place (for example, qcow2
snapshot names are clamped around 1024). So for now, just
stick to the required minimum, as that's easier to audit than
a full-scale support for larger names.

Currently, we are trying to move the backing BDS from the source to the
target in bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() which is called from
mirror_exit(). However, mirror_complete() already tries to open the
target's backing chain with a call to bdrv_open_backing_file().
First, we should only set the target's backing BDS once. Second, the
mirroring block job has a better idea of what to set it to than the
generic code in bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() (in fact, the latter's
conditions on when to move the backing BDS from source to target are not
really correct).
Therefore, remove that code from bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() and
leave it to mirror_complete().
Depending on what kind of mirroring is performed, we furthermore want to
use different strategies to open the target's backing chain:
- If blockdev-mirror is used, we can assume the user made sure that the
target already has the correct backing chain. In particular, we should
not try to open a backing file if the target does not have any yet.
- If drive-mirror with mode=absolute-paths is used, we can and should
reuse the already existing chain of nodes that the source BDS is in.
In case of sync=full, no backing BDS is required; with sync=top, we
just link the source's backing BDS to the target, and with sync=none,
we use the source BDS as the target's backing BDS.
We should not try to open these backing files anew because this would
lead to two BDSs existing per physical file in the backing chain, and
we would like to avoid such concurrent access.
- If drive-mirror with mode=existing is used, we have to use the
information provided in the physical image file which means opening
the target's backing chain completely anew, just as it has been done
already.
If the target's backing chain shares images with the source, this may
lead to multiple BDSs per physical image file. But since we cannot
reliably ascertain this case, there is nothing we can do about it.

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.

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.

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.

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).
