block: add BLOCK_O_CHECK for qemu-img check

Image formats with a dirty bit, like qed and qcow2, repair dirty image
files upon open with BDRV_O_RDWR. Performing automatic repair when
qemu-img check runs is not ideal because the bdrv_open() call repairs
the image before the actual bdrv_check() call from qemu-img.c....

block: Move error actions from DriveInfo to BlockDriverState

That's where they belong semantically (block device host part), even
though the actions are actually executed by guest device code.

block: Decouple block device "commit all" from DriveInfo

do_commit() and mux_proc_byte() iterate over the list of drives
defined with drive_init(). This misses host block devices defined by
other means. Such means don't exist now, but will be introduced later...

savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshots

Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized.

First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing
and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten?...

close all the block drivers before the qemu process exits

This patch calls the close handler of the block driver before the qemu
process exits.

This is necessary because the sheepdog block driver releases the lock
of VM images in the close handler.

add support for protocol driver create_options

This patch enables protocol drivers to use their create options which
are not supported by the format. For example, protcol drivers can use
a backing_file option with raw format.

Add cache=unsafe parameter to -drive

Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.

So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",...

This fixes the problem that qemu-img's use of no_zero_init only considered the

Between the raw/file split and this fix, converting to host devices is broken....
