Some guests (win2008 server for example) do a lot of unnecessary
flushing when underlying media has not changed. This adds additional
overhead on host when calling fsync/fdatasync.
This change introduces a write generation scheme in BlockDriverState.
Current write generation is checked against last flushed generation to
avoid unnessesary flushes.
The problem with excessive flushing was found by a performance test
which does parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes).
Results improved from 0.424 loops/sec to 0.432 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.
This affected some blkdebug testcases that were expecting error logs from
failure-injected flushes which are now skipped entirely
(tests 026 071 089).
This also affects the performance of block jobs and thus BLOCK_JOB_READY
events for driver-mirror and active block-commit commands now arrives
faster, before QMP send successfully returns to caller (tests 141 144).

When a new job is created, the job ID is taken from the device name of
the BDS. This patch adds a new 'job_id' parameter to let the caller
provide one instead.
This patch also verifies that the ID is always unique and well-formed.
This causes problems in a couple of places where no ID is being set,
because the BDS does not have a device name.
In the case of test_block_job_start() (from test-blockjob-txn.c) we
can simply use this new 'job_id' parameter to set the missing ID.
In the case of img_commit() (from qemu-img.c) we still don't have the
API to make commit_active_start() set the job ID, so we solve it by
setting a default value. We'll get rid of this as soon as we extend
the API.

'stream-start' has a parameter called 'backing-file', which is the
string to be written to bs->backing when the job finishes.
In the stream_start() implementation it is called 'backing_file_str',
but it the prototype in the header file it is called 'base_id'.

This is the final patch for converting the common I/O path to take
a BdrvChild parameter instead of BlockDriverState.
The completion of this conversion means that all users that perform I/O
on an image need to actually hold a reference (in the form of BdrvChild,
possible as part of a BlockBackend) to that image. This also protects
against inconsistent use of BlockBackend vs. BlockDriverState functions
because direct use of a BlockDriverState isn't possible any more and
blk->root is private for block-backends.c.
In addition, we can now distinguish different users in the I/O path,
and the future op blockers work is going to add assertions based on
permissions stored in BdrvChild.

Sector-based limits are awkward to think about; in our on-going
quest to move to byte-based interfaces, convert max_discard and
discard_alignment. Rename them, using 'pdiscard' as an aid to
track which remaining discard interfaces need conversion, and so
that the compiler will help us catch the change in semantics
across any rebased code. The BlockLimits type is now completely
byte-based; and in iscsi.c, sector_limits_lun2qemu() is no
longer needed.
pdiscard_alignment is made unsigned (we use power-of-2 alignments
as bitmasks, where unsigned is easier to think about) while
leaving max_pdiscard signed (since we still have an 'int'
interface); this is comparable to what commit cf081fc did for
write zeroes limits. We may later want to make everything an
unsigned 64-bit limit - but that requires a bigger code audit.

so that bit-twiddling is easier; however, we are still constrained

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.

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.
