The mirror_start_job() function used for the commit-active job blocks
the source, target and all intermediate nodes for the duration of the
job.
target <- intermediate <- source
Since 4ef85a9c2339 this function creates a dummy mirror_top_bs that
goes on top of the source node, and it is this dummy node that gets
blocked instead. The source node is never blocked or added to the
job's list of nodes.
target <- intermediate <- source <- mirror_top
At the moment I don't think it is possible to exploit this problem
because any additional job on 'source' would either be forbidden for
other reasons or it would need to involve an additional node that is
blocked, causing an error.
This can be seen in the error messages, however, because they never
refer to the source node being blocked:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd0.qcow2 1M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b hd0.qcow2 hd1.qcow2
$ qemu-io -c 'write 0 1M' hd0.qcow2
$ $QEMU -drive if=none,file=hd1.qcow2,node-name=hd1
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
{ "execute": "block-commit", "arguments": {"device": "hd1", "speed": 256}}
{ "execute": "block-stream", "arguments": {"device": "hd1"}}
{ "error": {"class": "GenericError",
"desc": "Node 'hd0' is busy: block device is in use by block job: commit"}}
After this patch the error message refers to 'hd1', as it should.
The expected output of iotest 141 also needs to be updated for the
same reason.

This adds a QMP event that is emitted whenever a job transitions from
one status to another.

The mirror block job is mainly used for two different scenarios:
Mirroring to an otherwise unused, independent target node, or for active
commit where the target node is part of the backing chain of the source.
Similarly to the commit block job patch, we need to insert a new filter
node to keep the permissions correct during active commit.
Note that one change this implies is that job->blk points to
mirror_top_bs as its root now, and mirror_top_bs (rather than the actual
source node) contains the bs->job pointer. This requires qemu-img commit
to get the job by name now rather than just taking bs->job.

We want to remove the 'id' option for blockdev-add. This removes one
user of the option and makes it use only node names.

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).
