[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/22] block: Support for 512b-on-4k emulation |

This patch series adds code to the block layer that allows performing
I/O requests in smaller granularities than required by the host backend
(most importantly, O_DIRECT restrictions). It achieves this for reads
by rounding the request to host-side block boundary, and for writes by
performing a read-modify-write cycle (and serialising requests
touching the same block so that the RMW doesn't write back stale data).
Originally I intended to reuse a lot of code from Paolo's previous
patch series, however as I tried to integrate pread/pwrite, which
already do a very similar thing (except for considering concurrency),
and because I wanted to implement zero-copy, most of this series ended
up being new code.
Zero-copy is possible in a common case because while XFS defauls to a
4k sector size and therefore 4k on-disk O_DIRECT alignment for 512E
disks, it still only has a 512 byte memory alignment requirement.
(Unfortunately the XFS_IOC_DIOINFO ioctl claims 4k even for memory, but
we know that the value is wrong and can probe it.)
Changes since RFC:
- Moved opt_mem_alignment into BlockLimits [Paolo]
- Changed BlockLimits in turn to work a bit more like the
.bdrv_opt_mem_align() callback of the RFC; allows updating the
BlockLimits later when the chain changes or bdrv_reopen() toggles
O_DIRECT
- Fixed a typo in a commit message [Eric]
Kevin Wolf (20):
block: Move initialisation of BlockLimits to bdrv_refresh_limits()
block: Inherit opt_transfer_length
block: Update BlockLimits when they might have changed
qemu_memalign: Allow small alignments

block: Don't use guest sector size for qemu_blockalign()
block: Introduce bdrv_aligned_preadv()
block: Introduce bdrv_co_do_preadv()
block: Introduce bdrv_aligned_pwritev()
block: write: Handle COR dependency after I/O throttling
block: Introduce bdrv_co_do_pwritev()
block: Switch BdrvTrackedRequest to byte granularity
block: Allow waiting for overlapping requests between begin/end
block: Make zero-after-EOF work with larger alignment
block: Generalise and optimise COR serialisation
block: Make overlap range for serialisation dynamic

Paolo Bonzini (2):
block: rename buffer_alignment to guest_block_size
raw: Probe required direct I/O alignment
