This series removes the "growable" field from the BlockDriverState object. Its use was to clamp guest requests against the limits of the BDS; however, this can now be done more easily by moving those checks into the BlockBackend functions.
In a future series, "growable" may be reintroduced (maybe with a different name); it will then signify whether a BDS is able to grow (in contrast to the current "growable", which signifies whether it is allowed to). Maybe I will add it to the BlockDriver instead of the BDS, though. To be able to remove that field, qemu-io needs to be converted to BlockBackend, which is done by this series as well. While working on that I decided to convert blk_new_with_bs()+bdrv_open() to blk_new_open(). I was skeptical about that decision at first, but it seems good now that I was able to replace nearly every blk_new_with_bs() call by blk_new_open(). In a future series I may try to convert some remaining bdrv_open() calls to blk_new_open() as well. (And, in fact, in a future series I *will* replace the last remaining blk_new_with_bs() outside of blk_new_open() by blk_new_open().) Finally, the question needs to be asked: If, after this series, every BDS is allowed to grow, are there any users which do not use BB, but should still be disallowed from reading/writing beyond a BDS's limits? The only users I could see were the block jobs. Some of them should indeed be converted to BB; but none of them takes a user-supplied offset or size, all work on the full BDS (or only on parts which have been modified, etc.). Therefore, it is by design impossible for them to exceed the BDS's limits, which makes making all BDS's growable safe. v3: - Rebased (onto Stefan's branch rebased onto master) - Fixed patch 4 [Stefano] v2: - Rebased [Kevin] - Patch 2: Added a TODO comment about removing @filename and @flags from blk_new_open() when possible [Kevin] git-backport-diff against v2: Key: [----] : patches are identical [####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch [down] : patch is downstream-only The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively 001/14:[----] [--] 'block: Lift some BDS functions to the BlockBackend' 002/14:[----] [--] 'block: Add blk_new_open()' 003/14:[----] [--] 'blockdev: Use blk_new_open() in blockdev_init()' 004/14:[0004] [FC] 'block/xen: Use blk_new_open() in blk_connect()' 005/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-img: Use blk_new_open() in img_open()' 006/14:[----] [-C] 'qemu-img: Use blk_new_open() in img_rebase()' 007/14:[----] [-C] 'qemu-img: Use BlockBackend as far as possible' 008/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-nbd: Use blk_new_open() in main()' 009/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-io: Use blk_new_open() in openfile()' 010/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-io: Remove "growable" option' 011/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-io: Use BlockBackend' 012/14:[----] [--] 'block: Clamp BlockBackend requests' 013/14:[----] [--] 'block: Remove "growable" from BDS' 014/14:[----] [--] 'block: Keep bdrv_check*_request()'s return value' git-backport-diff against v1: Key: [----] : patches are identical [####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch [down] : patch is downstream-only The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively 001/14:[----] [--] 'block: Lift some BDS functions to the BlockBackend' 002/14:[0006] [FC] 'block: Add blk_new_open()' 003/14:[----] [-C] 'blockdev: Use blk_new_open() in blockdev_init()' 004/14:[0004] [FC] 'block/xen: Use blk_new_open() in blk_connect()' 005/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-img: Use blk_new_open() in img_open()' 006/14:[----] [-C] 'qemu-img: Use blk_new_open() in img_rebase()' 007/14:[----] [-C] 'qemu-img: Use BlockBackend as far as possible' 008/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-nbd: Use blk_new_open() in main()' 009/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-io: Use blk_new_open() in openfile()' 010/14:[0002] [FC] 'qemu-io: Remove "growable" option' 011/14:[----] [--] 'qemu-io: Use BlockBackend' 012/14:[----] [--] 'block: Clamp BlockBackend requests' 013/14:[----] [--] 'block: Remove "growable" from BDS' 014/14:[----] [--] 'block: Keep bdrv_check*_request()'s return value' Max Reitz (14): block: Lift some BDS functions to the BlockBackend block: Add blk_new_open() blockdev: Use blk_new_open() in blockdev_init() block/xen: Use blk_new_open() in blk_connect() qemu-img: Use blk_new_open() in img_open() qemu-img: Use blk_new_open() in img_rebase() qemu-img: Use BlockBackend as far as possible qemu-nbd: Use blk_new_open() in main() qemu-io: Use blk_new_open() in openfile() qemu-io: Remove "growable" option qemu-io: Use BlockBackend block: Clamp BlockBackend requests block: Remove "growable" from BDS block: Keep bdrv_check*_request()'s return value block.c | 59 +++++----- block/block-backend.c | 219 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ block/qcow2.c | 6 -- block/raw-posix.c | 2 +- block/raw-win32.c | 2 +- block/sheepdog.c | 2 +- blockdev.c | 92 ++++++++-------- hmp.c | 9 +- hw/block/xen_disk.c | 28 +++-- include/block/block_int.h | 3 - include/qemu-io.h | 4 +- include/sysemu/block-backend.h | 12 +++ qemu-img.c | 171 ++++++++++++++--------------- qemu-io-cmds.c | 238 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- qemu-io.c | 58 ++++------ qemu-nbd.c | 25 ++--- tests/qemu-iotests/016 | 73 ------------- tests/qemu-iotests/016.out | 23 ---- tests/qemu-iotests/051.out | 60 +++++------ tests/qemu-iotests/087.out | 8 +- tests/qemu-iotests/group | 1 - 21 files changed, 592 insertions(+), 503 deletions(-) delete mode 100755 tests/qemu-iotests/016 delete mode 100644 tests/qemu-iotests/016.out -- 2.1.0
