Namely, it's also necessary to remove .dts source files from the
meson.build file, because the .dtb file names are not directly listed
anymore since commit 6e0dc9d2a8 ("meson: compile bundled device
trees").
The same commit also introduced a "'.dtb'" in a line not just listing
a file name and removing that line would break the script. Be more

The option was added in the Makefile by commit 4ba321f ("build qemu
multithreaded") which states:
> same as in pve-kernel where we have --jobs=auto
But according to the man page, -j without an argument is not the same
and means unlimited. Using the number of online cores seems more
sensible and was the original intention. Again, according to the man
page, the default is auto since dpkg 1.18.11 (or Debian Stretch), so
just drop the option.
The motivation to look into this was that after the recent upstream
commit d1ce2cc95b ("Makefile: preserve --jobserver-auth argument when
calling ninja") having -j as the make flag would be broken as it was
mistakenly passed to ninja (for which the argument for -j is not
optional). Should get fixed soon [0].

Excerpt from Fiona's v3 cover-letter [0]:
When a backup for a VM is started, QEMU will install a
"copy-before-write" filter in its block layer. This filter ensures
that upon new guest writes, old data still needed for the backup is
sent to the backup target first. The guest write blocks until this
operation is finished so guest IO to not-yet-backed-up sectors will be
limited by the speed of the backup target.
With backup fleecing, such old data is cached in a fleecing image
rather than sent directly to the backup target. This can help guest IO
performance and even prevent hangs in certain scenarios, at the cost
of requiring more storage space.
With this series it will be possible to enable backup-fleecing via
e.g. `vzdump 123 --fleecing enabled=1,storage=local-lvm` with fleecing
images created on the storage `local-lvm`. The fleecing storage should
be a fast local storage which supports thin-provisioning and discard.
If the storage supports qcow2, that is used as the fleecing image
format. If the underlying file system does not support discard, with
qcow2 and preallocation=off, at least already allocated parts of the
image can be re-used later.
Fleecing images are created by qemu-server via pve-storage and
attached to QEMU before the backup starts, and cleaned up after the
backup finished or failed. The naming schema for fleecing images is
'vm-ID-fleece-N(.FORMAT)'. The allocated images are recorded in the
guest configuration, so that even after a hard failure, clean-up can
be re-attempted. While not too bad, it's a non-trivial amount of code
and I'm not 100% sure about the cost-benefit, so sending those as RFC.
The fleecing image needs to be the exact same size as the source, but
luckily, an explicit size can be specified when attaching a raw image
to QEMU so there are no size issues when using storages that have
coarser allocation/round up. For qcow2, it seems that virtual size can
be nearly arbitrary (i.e. modulo 512 byte granularity) during
allocation.

All callers of the function pass an address, so dereferencing once
before checking for NULL is required. It's also necessary to update
bytes and offset nevertheless, so the request will actually be aligned
later and not trigger an assertion failure.
Seems like this was accidentally broken in 8dca018 ("udpate and rebase
to QEMU v6.0.0") and this is effectively a revert to the original
version of the patch. The qiov functions changed back then, which
might've been the reason Stefan tried to simplify the patch.

This essentially repeats commit 6b7c181 ("add patch to work around
stuck guest IO with iothread and VirtIO block/SCSI") with an added
fix for the SCSI event virtqueue, which requires special handling.
This is to avoid the issue [3] that made the revert 2a49e66 ("Revert
"add patch to work around stuck guest IO with iothread and VirtIO
block/SCSI"") necessary the first time around.
When using iothread, after commits
1665d9326f ("virtio-blk: implement BlockDevOps->drained_begin()")
766aa2de0f ("virtio-scsi: implement BlockDevOps->drained_begin()")
it can happen that polling gets stuck when draining. This would cause
IO in the guest to get completely stuck.
A workaround for users is stopping and resuming the vCPUs because that
would also stop and resume the dataplanes which would kick the host
notifiers.
This can happen with block jobs like backup and drive mirror as well
as with hotplug [2].
Reports in the community forum that might be about this issue[0][1]
and there is also one in the enterprise support channel.
As a workaround in the code, just re-enable notifications and kick the
virt queue after draining. Draining is already costly and rare, so no
need to worry about a performance penalty here.
Take special care to attach the SCSI event virtqueue host notifier
with the _no_poll() variant like in virtio_scsi_dataplane_start().
This avoids the issue from the first attempted fix where the iothread
would suddenly loop with 100% CPU usage whenever some guest IO came in
[3]. This is necessary because of commit 38738f7dbb ("virtio-scsi:
don't waste CPU polling the event virtqueue"). See [4] for the
relevant discussion.

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

git-submodule=ignore is using disable-download. Which will then just
verify that the submodules are present.
Building now will require running either
* Running 'meson subprojects download' in the qemu submodule first.
* Using --enable-download, but then the submodules would be downloaded
for each build (if not already downloaded in the submodule first)
and it's just a bit too surprising if downloads happen during build.
The disable-download option will also disable automatic downloading of
missing Python modules from PyPI. Hopefully, it's enough to add them

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.

Since upstream QEMU 8.0, it's no longer possible to call
bdrv_img_create() from a coroutine anymore, meaning a backup with the
directory format would crash the QEMU instance.
The feature is only exposed via the monitor and was intended to be
experimental. There were no user reports about the breakage and it
only was noticed during the rebase for QEMU 8.1, because other parts
of the backup code needed adaptation and I decided to check the
BACKUP_FORMAT_DIR case too.
It should not stay in a broken state of course, but avoid the
maintenance cost and just make it a removed feature for Proxmox VE 8
retroactively.

With the drive-backup QMP command, upstream QEMU uses a drained
section for the source drive when creating the backup job. Do the same
here to avoid subtle bugs.
There, the drained section extends until after the job is started, but
this cannot be done here for multi-disk backups (could at most start
the first job). The important thing is that the cbw
(copy-before-write) node is in place and the bcs (block-copy-state)
bitmap is initialized, which both happen during job creation (ensured
by the "block/backup: move bcs bitmap initialization to job creation"
PVE patch).
One such bug is one reported in the community forum [0], where using a
drive with iothread can lead to an overlapping block-copy request and
consequently an assertion failure. The block-copy code relies on the
bcs bitmap to determine if a request for a certain range can be
created. Each time a request is created, it resets the bcs bitmap at
that range to indicate that it's being handled.
The duplicate request can happen as follows:
Thread A attaches the cbw node
Thread B creates a request and resets the bitmap at that range
Thread A clears the bitmap and merges it with the PBS bitmap
The merging can lead to the bitmap being set again at the range of
the previous request, so the block-copy code thinks it's fine to
create a request there.
Thread B creates another requests at an overlapping range before the
other request is finished.
The drained section ensures that nothing else can interfere with the
bcs bitmap between attaching the copy-before-write block node and
initialization of the bitmap.

Reported in the community forum [0]. By default, there can be large
amounts of memory left assigned to the QEMU process after backup.
Likely because of fragmentation, it's necessary to explicitly call
malloc_trim() to tell glibc that it shouldn't keep all that memory
resident for the process.
QEMU itself already does a malloc_trim() in the RCU thread, but that
code path might not be reached (or not for a long time) under usual
operation. The value of 4 MiB for the argument was also copied from
there.
