[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/14] block: Remove "growable", add blk_new_open() |

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.
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 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
