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.
