BlockDriver->bdrv_getlength is categorized as IO callback, and it

rdlock since the callback traverses the block nodes graph, which however
is only possible in a coroutine.

Therefore turn it into a co_wrapper to move the actual function into a

Because now this function creates a new coroutine and polls, we need to
take the AioContext lock where it is missing, for the only reason that
internally co_wrapper calls AIO_WAIT_WHILE and it expects to release the
AioContext lock.

This is especially messy when a co_wrapper creates a coroutine and polls
in bdrv_open_driver, because this function has so many callers in so
many context that it can easily lead to deadlocks. Therefore the new
rule for bdrv_open_driver is that the caller must always hold the
AioContext lock of the given bs (except if it is a coroutine), because
the function calls bdrv_refresh_total_sectors() which is now a
co_wrapper.

Once the rwlock is ultimated and placed in every place it needs to be,
we will poll using AIO_WAIT_WHILE_UNLOCKED and remove the AioContext
lock.

block: use int64_t instead of uint64_t in driver write handlers

We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters
on all io paths.

Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for
fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk.

We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and
with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means
error).

So, convert driver write handlers parameters which are already 64bit to
signed type.

While being here, convert also flags parameter to be BdrvRequestFlags.

Now let's consider all callers. Simple

git grep '\->bdrv_\(aio\|co\)_pwritev\(_part\)\?'

shows that's there three callers of driver function:

bdrv_driver_pwritev() and bdrv_driver_pwritev_compressed() in
block/io.c, both pass int64_t, checked by bdrv_check_qiov_request() to
be non-negative.

qcow2_save_vmstate() does bdrv_check_qiov_request().

Still, the functions may be called directly, not only by drv->...
Let's check:

git grep '\.bdrv_\(aio\|co\)_pwritev\(_part\)\?\s*=' | \
awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/,//' | sed 's/&//' | sort | uniq | \
while read func; do git grep "$func(" | \
grep -v "$func(BlockDriverState"; done

shows several callers:

qcow2:
qcow2_co_truncate() write at most up to @offset, which is checked in
generic qcow2_co_truncate() by bdrv_check_request().
qcow2_co_pwritev_compressed_task() pass the request (or part of the
request) that already went through normal write path, so it should
be OK

qcow:
qcow_co_pwritev_compressed() pass int64_t, it's updated by this patch

quorum:
quorum_co_pwrite_zeroes() pass int64_t and int - OK

do_perform_cow_read() has uint64_t argument. And a lot of things in
qcow2 driver are uint64_t, so converting it is big job. But we must

ret = bdrv_replace_test_co_preadv(bs, 0, 1, &qiov, 0);

block: Purify .bdrv_refresh_filename()

Currently, BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename() is supposed to both
refresh the filename (BDS.exact_filename) and set BDS.full_open_options.
Now that we have generic code in the central bdrv_refresh_filename() for
creating BDS.full_open_options, we can drop the latter part from all
BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename() implementations.

This also means that we can drop all of the existing default code for
this from the global bdrv_refresh_filename() itself.

Furthermore, we now have to call BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename()
after having set BDS.full_open_options, because the block driver's
implementation should now be allowed to depend on BDS.full_open_options
being set correctly.

Finally, with this patch we can drop the @options parameter from
BlockDriver.bdrv_refresh_filename(); also, add a comment on this
function's purpose in block/block_int.h while touching its interface.

This completely obsoletes blklogwrite's implementation of
.bdrv_refresh_filename().

This new field can be set by block drivers to list the runtime options

to be created), thus freeing the drivers of having to implement that
logic themselves.

Additionally, this patch adds the field to all of the block drivers that
need it and sets it accordingly.

null: Switch to byte-based read/write

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Make the change for the last few sector-based callbacks
in the null-co and null-aio drivers.

Note that since the null driver does nothing on writes, it trivially
supports the BDRV_REQ_FUA flag (all writes have already landed to
the same bit-bucket without needing an extra flush call). Also, since
the null driver does just as well with byte-based requests, we can
now avoid cycles wasted on read-modify-write by taking advantage of
the block layer now defaulting the alignment to 1 instead of 512.

coroutine: simplify co_aio_sleep_ns() prototype

The AioContext pointer argument to co_aio_sleep_ns() is only used for
the sleep timer. It does not affect where the caller coroutine is

Due to changes to coroutine and AIO APIs it is now possible to drop the
AioContext pointer argument. This is safe to do since no caller has
specific requirements for which AioContext the timer must run in.

This patch drops the AioContext pointer argument and renames the
function to simplify the API.

This option was only added to allow 'null-co://' and 'null-aio://' as

Nevertheless it was accepted as '-drive driver=null,filename=foo'.

The correct way to enable the protocol prefixes (and that without adding
a useless -drive option) is implementing .bdrv_parse_filename. This is
what this patch does.

Technically, this is an incompatible change, but the null block driver
is only used for benchmarking, testing and debugging, and an option
without effect isn't likely to be used by anyone anyway, so no bad
effects are to be expected.

qobject: Use simpler QDict/QList scalar insertion macros

We now have macros in place to make it less verbose to add a scalar
to QDict and QList, so use them.

Patch created mechanically via:
spatch --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/qobject.cocci \
--macro-file scripts/cocci-macro-file.h --dir . --in-place
then touched up manually to fix a couple of '?:' back to original
spacing, as well as avoiding a long line in monitor.c.
