ERRP_GUARD():

* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
* error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user
can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

In block/snapshot.c, there are 2 functions passing @errp to
error_prepend() without ERRP_GUARD():
- bdrv_all_delete_snapshot()
- bdrv_all_goto_snapshot()

As the APIs exposed in include/block/snapshot.h, they could be called
by other modules.

To avoid potential issues as [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the
beginning of these 2 functions.

block: Fix crash when loading snapshot on inactive node

bdrv_is_read_only() only checks if the node is configured to be
read-only eventually, but even if it returns false, writing to the node
may not be permitted at the moment (because it's inactive).

bdrv_is_writable() checks that the node can be written to right now, and
this is what the snapshot operations really need.

Change bdrv_can_snapshot() to use bdrv_is_writable() to fix crashes like
the following:

$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /tmp/test.qcow2 -loadvm foo -incoming defer
qemu-system-x86_64: ../block/io.c:1990: int bdrv_co_write_req_prepare(BdrvChild *, int64_t, int64_t, BdrvTrackedRequest *, int): Assertion `!(bs->open_flags & BDRV_O_INACTIVE)' failed.

The resulting error message after this patch isn't perfect yet, but at
least it doesn't crash any more:

$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /tmp/test.qcow2 -loadvm foo -incoming defer
qemu-system-x86_64: Device 'ide0-hd0' is writable but does not support snapshots

block: Fix deadlocks in bdrv_graph_wrunlock()

bdrv_graph_wrunlock() calls aio_poll(), which may run callbacks that
have a nested event loop. Nested event loops can depend on other
iothreads making progress, so in order to allow them to make progress it
must not hold the AioContext lock of another thread while calling
aio_poll().

This introduces a @bs parameter to bdrv_graph_wrunlock() whose
AioContext is temporarily dropped (which matches bdrv_graph_wrlock()),
and a bdrv_graph_wrunlock_ctx() that can be used if the BlockDriverState
doesn't necessarily exist any more when unlocking.

This also requires a change to bdrv_schedule_unref(), which was relying
on the incorrectly taken lock. It needs to take the lock itself now.
While this is a separate bug, it can't be fixed a separate patch because
otherwise the intermediate state would either deadlock or try to release
a lock that we don't even hold.

block: Manipulate bs->file / bs->backing pointers in .attach/.detach

bs->file and bs->backing are a kind of duplication of part of
bs->children. But very useful diplication, so let's not drop them at
all:)

We should manage bs->file and bs->backing in same place, where we
manage bs->children, to keep them in sync.

Moreover, generic io paths are unprepared to BdrvChild without a bs, so
it's double good to clear bs->file / bs->backing when we detach the
child.

Detach is simple: if we detach bs->file or bs->backing child, just
set corresponding field to NULL.

Attach is a bit more complicated. But we still can precisely detect
should we set one of bs->file / bs->backing or not:

- if role is BDRV_CHILD_COW, we definitely deal with bs->backing
- else, if role is BDRV_CHILD_FILTERED (it must be also
BDRV_CHILD_PRIMARY), it's a filtered child. Use
bs->drv->filtered_child_is_backing to chose the pointer field to
modify.
- else, if role is BDRV_CHILD_PRIMARY, we deal with bs->file
- in all other cases, it's neither bs->backing nor bs->file. It's some
other child and we shouldn't care

OK. This change brings one more good thing: we can (and should) get rid
of all indirect pointers in the block-graph-change transactions:

bdrv_attach_child_common() stores BdrvChild** into transaction to clear
it on abort.

bdrv_attach_child_common() has two callers: bdrv_attach_child_noperm()
just pass-through this feature, bdrv_root_attach_child() doesn't need
the feature.

Look at bdrv_attach_child_noperm() callers:
- bdrv_attach_child() doesn't need the feature
- bdrv_set_file_or_backing_noperm() uses the feature to manage
bs->file and bs->backing, we don't want it anymore
- bdrv_append() uses the feature to manage bs->backing, again we
don't want it anymore

So, we should drop this stuff! Great!

We could probably keep BdrvChild** argument to keep the int return
value, but it seems not worth the complexity.

Finally, we now set .file / .backing automatically in generic code and
want to restring setting them by hand outside of .attach/.detach.
So, this patch cleanups all remaining places where they were set.
To find such places I use:

git grep '\->file ='
git grep '\->backing ='
git grep '&.*\<backing\>'
git grep '&.*\<file\>'
