Allow bitmap successors to carry reference counts.

We can in a later patch use this ability to clean up the dirty bitmap
according to both the individual job's success and the success of all
jobs in the transaction group.

The code for cleaning up a bitmap is also moved from backup_run to
backup_complete.

Maybe making this a QAPI enum can come in handy later. I don't know in
which QMP commands one would use it, but if I could predict the future,
I'd make trillions (or even billions) at the stock market.

(It's just that it already looks so much alike to a QAPI enum that I
can't help but to think of making it one)

I don't know whether you're intending to call this function from
anywhere outside of bdrv_dirty_bitmap_decref(), but if you don't, please
just make this an assert(!parent->successor_refcount).

Indeed, again with the full stops. ;-)


And this one.

+                   parent->name);
+        return NULL;

So you're (for now) only calling this function from
bdrv_dirty_bitmap_decref(), and that function always makes sure that
parent->act is set to SUCCESSOR_ACTION_{RECLAIM,ABDICATE}. Why not add
an assert(parent->act != SUCCESSOR_ACTION_UNDEFINED) before the switch?
(If that causes problems in regards to compiler warnings or something
(not having all enum values covered in the switch), just add an
assert(0); under "case SUCCESSOR_ACTION_UNDEFINED:".)


Will use g_assert_not_reached() because I like the way it reads.

+    case SUCCESSOR_ACTION_RECLAIM:
+        return bdrv_reclaim_dirty_bitmap(bs, parent, errp);
+    case SUCCESSOR_ACTION_ABDICATE:
+        return bdrv_dirty_bitmap_abdicate(bs, parent, errp);
+    default:
+        error_setg(errp,
+                   "Unrecognized successor action (%d), "
+                   "cannot free successor for bitmap '%s'",
+                   parent->act, parent->name);
+        return NULL;

This can be made an assert(0), a g_assert_not_reached(), or simply an
abort() (with the latter probably being the preferred way).

So I think that all the error_setg() calls are actually cases that
should never happen. Better make them abort() and drop the Error
parameter (because *_decref() and *_free() functions normally (for good
reason) don't have Error parameters...).


The problem all stems from when I made abdicate and reclaim callable interfaces in the original patch series, so they carried errp pointers and I let them flow outwards from there.

So, the transactionless set is still on-list, so I could clean those interfaces too, but I suppose I wanted to see how this series was received before I squashed too many things back into the v1 ... I'd rather leave that series be for obvious reasons.

+BdrvDirtyBitmap *bdrv_dirty_bitmap_decref(BlockDriverState *bs,

I don't know whether I'm that content with the name chosen, because
you're actually decrementing the refcount of the successor; but since
the successor is basically a clone of the original bitmap (and I mean in
the Star Trek sense, that it's a teleported clone and the original is
intended to be destroyed so the successor can replace it), decrementing
the refcount of the successor basically is equal to decrementing the
refcount of the bitmap itself (as long as there is a successor, which
you are asserting; maybe you want to add a comment about that to
include/block/block.h, that one can only use this on frozen bitmaps?).


I could get clever with the name and call it bdrv_frozen_bitmap_decref, which hopefully still shows membership to the bdrv_dirty_bitmap class of functions but clarifies its usage sufficiently.

If you drop the Error parameter from bdrv_free_bitmap_successor(), you
can drop it from this function, too.

You can use &error_abort as the Error object and drop the assert(); or,
if you are dropping the Error parameter, there is no need to check the
return value at all, because it will always be non-NULL (there won't be
any code path in the function returning NULL at all). Maybe you can even
drop the return value, too.

I just looked through the series: Actually, you're never using the Error
parameter for bdrv_dirty_bitmap_decref() at all. Seems to me like you
really should drop it (and maybe the return value along with it).


I actually use this parameter to return the "new bitmap" (if any) after the decrement operation. I wanted to leave the window open for merge optimizations, so I tell the caller which bitmap remains after the operation.

I will cull the errp, but will likely leave the return code.

Hm, what is that function call doing here? It feels like it shouldn't
have been part of your transactionless series (because other than this,
there is no caller of bdrv_{en,dis}able_dirty_bitmap() at all).

(You're silently removing it here; removing it is fine, but I guess it
shouldn't have been there in the first place)

I'm happy with this patch if you drop the Error parameter from

turn all the error cases into assertions.
