[Qemu-block] [PATCH v9 0/9] discard blockstats

[Anton Nefedov]

v9:
 - fixed patch 5 so the fields are actually numbered in sectors not blocks
 - fixed patch 7 accordingly
 - patch 8: make stat fields unsigned
 - qapi patches: "since 4.1" -> "since 4.2"

v8: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-05/msg03709.html

----

qmp query-blockstats provides stats info for write/read/flush ops.

Patches 1-7 implement the similar for discard (unmap) command for scsi
and ide disks.
Discard stat "unmap_ops / unmap_bytes" is supposed to account the ops that
have completed without an error.

However, discard operation is advisory. Specifically,
 - common block layer ignores ENOTSUP error code.
   That might be returned if the block driver does not support discard,
   or discard has been configured to be ignored.
 - format drivers such as qcow2 may ignore discard if they were configured
   to ignore that, or if the corresponding area is already marked unused
   (unallocated / zero clusters).

And what is actually useful is the number of bytes actually discarded
down on the host filesystem.
To achieve that, driver-specific statistics has been added to blockstats
(patch 9).
With patch 8, file-posix driver accounts discard operations on its level too.

query-blockstat result:

(note the difference between blockdevice unmap and file discard stats. qcow2
sends fewer ops down to the file as the clusters are actually unallocated
on qcow2 level)
