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.

This patch removes the remaining users of bs->blk, which will allow us
to have multiple BBs on top of a single BDS. In the meantime, all checks
that are currently in place to prevent the user from creating such
setups can be switched to bdrv_has_blk() instead of accessing BDS.blk.
Future patches can allow them and e.g. enable users to mirror to a block
device that already has a BlockBackend on it.

This moves the throttling related part of the BDS life cycle management
to BlockBackend. The throttling group reference is now kept even when no
medium is inserted.
With this commit, throttling isn't disabled and then re-enabled any more
during graph reconfiguration. This fixes the temporary breakage of I/O
throttling when used with live snapshots or block jobs that manipulate
the graph.

This patch changes where the throttling state is stored (used to be the

It was already true in principle that a throttled BDS always has a BB
attached, except that the order of operations while attaching or
detaching a BDS to/from a BB wasn't careful enough.
This commit breaks graph manipulations while I/O throttling is enabled.
It would have been possible to keep things working with some temporary
hacks, but quite cumbersome, so it's not worth the hassle. We'll fix
things again in a minute.

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.

All callers of blk_new_open() either don't rely on the WCE bit set after
blk_new_open() because they explicitly set it anyway, or they pass
BDRV_O_CACHE_WB unconditionally.
This patch changes blk_new_open() so that it always enables writeback
mode and asserts that BDRV_O_CACHE_WB is clear. For those callers that
used to pass BDRV_O_CACHE_WB unconditionally, the flag is removed now.

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.
