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.

We had to forbid mirroring to a target BDS that already had a BB
attached because the node swapping at job completion would add a second
BB and we didn't support multiple BBs on a single BDS at the time. Now
we do, so we can lift the restriction.
As we allow additional BlockBackends for the target, we must expect
other users to be sending requests. There may no requests be in flight
during the graph modification, so we have to drain those users now.
The core part of this patch is a revert of commit 40365552.

There are no callers to bdrv_open() or bdrv_open_inherit() left that
pass a pointer to a non-NULL BDS pointer as the first argument of these
functions, so we can finally drop that parameter and just make them
return the new BDS.
Generally, the following pattern is applied:
bs = NULL;
ret = bdrv_open(&bs, ..., &local_err);
if (ret < 0) {
error_propagate(errp, local_err);
...
}
by
bs = bdrv_open(..., errp);
if (!bs) {
ret = -EINVAL;
...
}
Of course, there are only a few instances where the pattern is really
pure.

The bdrv_next() users all leaked the BdrvNextIterator after completing
the iteration. Simply changing bdrv_next() to free the iterator before
returning NULL at the end of list doesn't work because some callers exit
the loop before looking at all BDSes.
This patch moves the BdrvNextIterator from the heap to the stack of
the caller and switches to a bdrv_first()/bdrv_next() interface for
initialising the iterator.

If you use HMP's eject but the CDROM tray is locked, you may get a
confusing error message informing you that the "tray isn't open."
As this is the point of eject, we can do a little better and help
clarify that the tray was locked and that it (might) open up later,
so try again.
It's not ideal, but it makes the semantics of the (legacy) eject
command more understandable to end users when they try to use it.

As the patches to move I/O throttling to BlockBackend didn't make it in
time for the 2.6 release, but the release adds new ways of configuring
VMs whose behaviour would change once the move is done, we need to
outlaw such configurations temporarily.
The problem exists whenever a BDS has more users than just its BB, for
example it is used as a backing file for another node. (This wasn't
possible in 2.5 yet as we introduced node references to specify a
backing file only recently.) In these cases, the throttling would
apply to these other users now, but after moving throttling to the
BlockBackend the other users wouldn't be throttled any more.
This patch prevents making new references to a throttled node as well as
using monitor commands to throttle a node with multiple parents.
Compared to 2.5 this changes behaviour in some corner cases where
references were allowed before, like bs->file or Quorum children. It
seems reasonable to assume that users didn't use I/O throttling on such
low level nodes. With the upcoming move of throttling into BlockBackend,
such configurations won't be possible anyway.

The previous patches have successively made blk->enable_write_cache the
true source for the information whether a writethrough mode must be
implemented. The corresponding BDRV_O_CACHE_WB is only useless baggage
we're carrying around, so now's the time to remove it.
At the same time, we remove the 'cache.writeback' option parsing on the
BDS level as the only effect was setting the BDRV_O_CACHE_WB flag.
This change requires test cases that explicitly enabled the option to
drop it. Other than that and the change of the error message when
writethrough is enabled on the BDS level (from "Can't set writethrough
mode" to "doesn't support the option"), there should be no change in
behaviour.

Writethrough mode is going to become a BlockBackend feature rather than
a BDS one, so forbid it in places where we won't be able to support it
when the code finally matches the envisioned design.
We only allowed setting the cache mode of non-root nodes after the 2.5
release, so we're still free to make this change.
The target of block jobs is now always opened in a writeback mode
because it doesn't have a BlockBackend attached. This makes more sense
anyway because block jobs know when to flush. If the graph is modified
on job completion, the original cache mode moves to the new root, so
for the guest device writethough always stays enabled if it was
configured this way.

Ever since we first introduced bdrv_append() in commit 8802d1fd ('qapi:
Introduce blockdev-group-snapshot-sync command'), the copy-on-read flag
was moved to the new top layer when taking a snapshot. The only problem
is that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The use case for manually enabled CoR is to avoid reading data twice
from a slow remote image, so we want to save it to a local overlay, say
an ISO image accessed via HTTP to a local qcow2 overlay. When taking a
snapshot, we end up with a backing chain like this:
http <- local.qcow2 <- snap_overlay.qcow2
There is no point in doing CoR from local.qcow2 into snap_overlay.qcow2,
we just want to keep copying data from the remote source into
local.qcow2.
The other use case of CoR is in the context of streaming, which isn't
very interesting for bdrv_move_feature_fields() because op blockers
prevent this combination.
This patch makes the copy-on-read flag stay on the image for which it
was originally set and prevents it from being propagated to the new
overlay. It is no longer intended to move CoR to the BlockBackend level.
In order for this to make sense, we also need to keep the respective
image read-write.
As a side effect of these changes, creating a live snapshot image (as
opposed to using an existing externally created one) on top of a COR
block device works now. It used to fail because it tried to open its
backing file both read-only and with COR.

Simple unions were carrying a special case that hid their 'data'
QMP member from the resulting C struct, via the hack method
QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariant.simple_union_type(). But by using
the work we started by unboxing flat union and alternate
branches, coupled with the ability to visit the members of an
implicit type, we can now expose the simple union's implicit
type in qapi-types.h:
| struct q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificQCow2_wrapper {
| ImageInfoSpecificQCow2 *data;
| };
|
| struct q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificVmdk_wrapper {
| ImageInfoSpecificVmdk *data;
| };
...
| struct ImageInfoSpecific {
| ImageInfoSpecificKind type;
| union { /* union tag is @type */
| void *data;
|- ImageInfoSpecificQCow2 *qcow2;
|- ImageInfoSpecificVmdk *vmdk;
|+ q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificQCow2_wrapper qcow2;
|+ q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificVmdk_wrapper vmdk;
| } u;
| };
Doing this removes asymmetry between QAPI's QMP side and its
C side (both sides now expose 'data'), and means that the
treatment of a simple union as sugar for a flat union is now
equivalent in both languages (previously the two approaches used
a different layer of dereferencing, where the simple union could
be converted to a flat union with equivalent C layout but
different {} on the wire, or to an equivalent QMP wire form
but with different C representation). Using the implicit type
also lets us get rid of the simple_union_type() hack.
Of course, now all clients of simple unions have to adjust from
using su->u.member to using su->u.member.data; while this touches
a number of files in the tree, some earlier cleanup patches
helped minimize the change to the initialization of a temporary
variable rather than every single member access. The generated
qapi-visit.c code is also affected by the layout change:

Before this patch, blk_new() automatically assigned a name to the new
BlockBackend and considered it referenced by the monitor. This patch
removes the implicit monitor_add_blk() call from blk_new() (and
consequently the monitor_remove_blk() call from blk_delete(), too) and
thus blk_new() (and related functions) no longer take a BB name
argument.
In fact, there is only a single point where blk_new()/blk_new_open() is
called and the new BB is monitor-owned, and that is in blockdev_init().
Besides thus relieving us from having to invent names for all of the BBs
we use in qemu-img, this fixes a bug where qemu cannot create a new
image if there already is a monitor-owned BB named "image".
If a BB and its BDS tree are created in a single operation, as of this
patch the BDS tree will be created before the BB is given a name
(whereas it was the other way around before). This results in minor
change to the output of iotest 087, whose reference output is amended
accordingly.

This patch adds an option to the drive_add HMP command to create only a
BlockDriverState without a BlockBackend on top.
The motivation for this is that libvirt needs to specify options to a
migration target (specifically, detect-zeroes). drive-mirror doesn't
allow specifying options, and the proper way to do this is to create the
target BDS separately with blockdev-add (where you can specify options)
and then use blockdev-mirror to that BDS.
However, libvirt can't use blockdev-add as long as it is still
experimental, and we're expecting that it will still take some time, so
we need to resort to drive_add.
The problem with drive_add is that so far it always created a BB, and
BDSes with a BB can't be used as a mirroring target as long as we don't
support multiple BBs per BDS - and while we're working towards that
goal, it's another thing that will still take some time.
So to achieve the goal, the simplest solution to provide the
functionality now without adding one-off options to the mirror QMP
commands is to extend drive_add to create nodes without BBs.

writethrough instead of unsafe now. The following bdrv_append() call to
put it on top of the tree swaps the WCE flag with the snapshot's backing
file (i.e. the originally given file), so what we eventually get is
cache=writeback on the temporary overlay and
cache=writethrough,cache.no-flush=on on the real image file.
This patch changes things so that the temporary overlay gets
cache=unsafe again like it used to, and the real images get whatever the
user specified. This means that cache.direct is now respected even with
snapshot=on, and in the case of committing changes, the final flush is
no longer ignored except explicitly requested by the user.

Calling bdrv_img_create() with a size of -1 means that it determines the
size automatically by opening the backing file. However, in the case of
live snapshots, the backing file is already opened and we must avoid
opening the same image twice at the same time. Apart from that, just
getting the size from the already existing BDS is a lot less overhead
than opening a new instance.

QAPI code generators currently create a 'void *data' member as
part of the anonymous union embedded in the C struct corresponding
to a QAPI union. However, directly assigning to this member of
the union feels a bit fishy, when we can assign to another member
of the struct instead.

Most importantly, this removes BDRV_O_TEMPORARY, to avoid unlink()ing an
image which replaces a snapshotted one.
