Bigger notable changes:
* Commit 1a30b0f5d7 ("block: .bdrv_open is non-coroutine and
unlocked") broke the PVE backup patches, in particular setting up
the backup dump block driver, because bdrv_new_open_driver() cannot
be called from a coroutine. To fix it, bdrv_co_open() is used
instead, and while it's a much more involved function, the result
should be essentially the same. The only difference I noticed is
that the BDRV_O_ALLOW_RDWR flag is also set in the resulting bds
(block driver state), but that shouldn't hurt.
Smaller notable changes:
* aio_set_fd_handler() dropped its 'is_external' parameter stating
that all callers now pass false in 60f782b6b7 ("aio: remove
aio_disable_external() API"). The calls in the PVE patches also
passed false, so just drop the parameter too.
* global_state_store() does not have a return value anymore, so the
user in the PVE savevm-async patch was adapted. For context, see
c33f1829f8 ("migration: never fail in global_state_store()").
* Renames affecting the PVE savevm-async patch:
migrate_use_block() -> migrate_block() and ram_counters -> mig_stats
9d4b1e5f22 ("migration: Move migrate_use_block() to options.c")
aff3f6606d ("migration: Rename ram_counters to mig_stats")

If there is a pending DMA operation during ide_bus_reset(), the fact
that the IDEstate is already reset before the operation is canceled
can be problematic. In particular, ide_dma_cb() might be called and
then use the reset IDEstate which contains the signature after the
reset. When used to construct the IO operation this leads to
ide_get_sector() returning 0 and nsector being 1. This is particularly
bad, because a write command will thus destroy the first sector which
often contains a partition table or similar.

Each pause+resume operation (which is also done as part of taking a VM
snapshot) would increase the number of open file descriptors by the
number of vhost devices (e.g. network devices by default). This could
lead to crashes during backup and surely other issues once the system
limit (default 1024) was reached [0].

Migration is not affected, because it runs in coroutine context.

Changes to other patches are all just metadata/context changes except
for pvebackup_co_prepare() needing to call bdrv_co_unref() rather than
bdrv_unref(), because it is a coroutine itself. This is documented in
d6ee2e324e ("block-coroutine-wrapper: Introduce no_co_wrapper"). The
change is necessary, because one of the stable fixes converts
bdrv_unref and blk_unref into no_co_wrappers (in preparation for a
second patch to fix a hang with the block resize QMP command).

Many changes were necessary this time around:
* QAPI was changed to avoid redundant has_* variables, see commit
44ea9d9be3 ("qapi: Start to elide redundant has_FOO in generated C")
for details. This affected many QMP commands added by Proxmox too.
* Pending querying for migration got split into two functions, one to
estimate, one for exact value, see commit c8df4a7aef ("migration:
Split save_live_pending() into state_pending_*") for details. Relevant
for savevm-async and PBS dirty bitmap.
* Some block (driver) functions got converted to coroutines, so the
Proxmox block drivers needed to be adapted.
* Alloc track auto-detaching during PBS live restore got broken by
AioContext-related changes resulting in a deadlock. The current, hacky
method was replaced by a simpler one. Stefan apparently ran into a
problem with that when he wrote the driver, but there were
improvements in the stream job code since then and I didn't manage to
reproduce the issue. It's a separate patch "alloc-track: fix deadlock
during drop" for now, you can find the details there.
* Async snapshot-related changes:
- The pending querying got adapted to the above-mentioned split and
a patch is added to optimize it/make it more similar to what
upstream code does.
- Added initialization of the compression counters (for
future-proofing).
- It's necessary the hold the BQL (big QEMU lock = iothread mutex)
during the setup phase, because block layer functions are used there
and not doing so leads to racy, hard-to-debug crashes or hangs. It's
necessary to change some upstream code too for this, a version of
the patch "migration: for snapshots, hold the BQL during setup
callbacks" is intended to be upstreamed.
- Need to take the bdrv graph read lock before flushing.
* hmp_info_balloon was moved to a different file.
* Needed to include a new headers from time to time to still get the
correct functions.

The patches were selected from the recent "Patch Round-up for stable
7.2.1" [0]. Those that should be relevant for our supported use-cases
(and the upcoming nvme use-case) were picked. Most of the patches
added now have not been submitted to qemu-stable before.
The follow-up for the virtio-rng-pci migration fix will break
migration between versions with the fix and without the fix when a
virtio-pci-rng(-non)-transitional device is used. Luckily Proxmox VE
only uses the virtio-pci-rng device, and this was fixed by
0006-virtio-rng-pci-fix-migration-compat-for-vectors.patch which was
applied before any public version of Proxmox VE's QEMU 7.2 package was
released.

There is a patch on qemu-devel now[0], and it's the same as this one
code-wise (except for comments). But the discussion is still ongoing.
While there shouldn't be a real issue with the patch, there might be

User-facing breaking change:
The slirp submodule for user networking got removed. It would be
necessary to add the --enable-slirp option to the build and/or install
the appropriate library to continue building it. Since PVE is not
explicitly supporting it, it would require additionally installing the
libslirp0 package on all installations and there is *very* little
mention on the community forum when searching for "slirp" or
"netdev user", the plan is to only enable it again if there is some
real demand for it.
Notable changes:
* The big change for this release is the rework of job locking, using
a job mutex and introducing _locked() variants of job API functions
moving away from call-side AioContext locking. See (in the qemu
submodule) commit 6f592e5aca ("job.c: enable job lock/unlock and
remove Aiocontext locks") and previous commits for context.
Changes required for the backup patches:
* Use WITH_JOB_LOCK_GUARD() and call the _locked() variant of job
API functions where appropriate (many are only availalbe as
a _locked() variant).
* Remove acquiring/releasing AioContext around functions taking the
job mutex lock internally.
The patch introducing sequential transaction support for jobs needs
to temporarily unlock the job mutex to call job_start() when
starting the next job in the transaction.
* The zeroinit block driver now marks its child as primary.
The documentation in include/block/block-common.h states:
> Filter node has exactly one FILTERED|PRIMARY child, and may have
> other children which must not have these bits
Without this, an assert will trigger when copying to a zeroinit target
with qemu-img convert, because bdrv_child_cb_attach() expects any
non-PRIMARY child to be not FILTERED:
> qemu-img convert -n -p -f raw -O raw input.raw zeroinit:output.raw
> qemu-img: ../block.c:1476: bdrv_child_cb_attach: Assertion
> `!(child->role & BDRV_CHILD_FILTERED)' failed.

fixes file restore, where we actively unlink the PID file of the
transient VM ourself after opening it - while we use it only for
tracking when the QEMU process itself has finished start up, it's
easier and cleaner to fix this regression now, than to rework that to
something that doesn't depends on the PID file at all.
Applying Fiona's patch as patch-patch tracked under extra, as I
expect that something similar to this gets accepted upstreamed.

Notable changes:
* The only big change is the switch to using a custom QIOChannel for
savevm-async, because the previously used QEMUFileOps was dropped.
Changes to the current implementation:
* Switch to vector based methods as required for an IO channel. For
short reads the passed-in IO vector is stuffed with zeroes at the
end, just to be sure.
* For reading: The documentation in include/io/channel.h states that
at least one byte should be read, so also error out when whe are
at the very end instead of returning 0.
* For reading: Fix off-by-one error when request goes beyond end.
The wrong code piece was:
if ((pos + size) > maxlen) {
size = maxlen - pos - 1;
}
Previously, the last byte would not be read. It's actually
possible to get a snapshot .raw file that has content all the way
up the final 512 byte (= BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE) boundary without any
trailing zero bytes (I wrote a script to do it).
Luckily, it didn't cause a real issue, because qemu_loadvm_state()
is not interested in the final (i.e. QEMU_VM_VMDESCRIPTION)
section. The buffer for reading it is simply freed up afterwards
and the function will assume that it read the whole section, even
if that's not the case.
* For writing: Make use of the generated blk_pwritev() wrapper
instead of manually wrapping the coroutine to simplify and save a
few lines.
* Adapt to changed interfaces for blk_{pread,pwrite}:
* a9262f551e ("block: Change blk_{pread,pwrite}() param order")
* 3b35d4542c ("block: Add a 'flags' param to blk_pread()")
* bf5b16fa40 ("block: Make blk_{pread,pwrite}() return 0 on success")
Those changes especially affected the qemu-img dd patches, because
the context also changed, but also some of our block drivers used
the functions.
* Drop qemu-common.h include: it got renamed after essentially
everything was moved to other headers. The only remaining user I
could find for things dropped from the header between 7.0 and 7.1
was qemu_get_vm_name() in the iscsi-initiatorname patch, but it
already includes the header to which the function was moved.

Mostly minor changes, bigger ones summarized:
* QEMU's internal backup code now uses a new async system, which allows
parallel requests - the default max_workers settings is 64, I chose
less, since 64 put enough stress on QEMU that the guest became
practically unusable during the backup, and 16 still shows quite a
nice measureable performance improvement. Little code changes for us
though.
* 'malformed' QAPI parameters/functions are now a build error (i.e.
using '_' vs '-'), I chose to just whitelist our calls in the name of
backwards compatibility.
* monitor OOB race fix now uses the upstream variant, cherry-picked from
origin/master since it's not in 6.0 by default
