posix-aio-compat: Fix error check

Checking for nbytes < 0 is pointless as long as it's a size_t. If we want to
use negative numbers for error codes, we should use signed types.

Don't leak file descriptors

We're leaking file descriptors to child processes. Set FD_CLOEXEC on file
descriptors that don't need to be passed to children to stop this misbehaviour.

Remove aio_ctx from paio_* interface

The context parameter in paio_submit isn't used anyway, so there is no reason
why block drivers should need to remember it. This also avoids passing a Linux
AIO context to paio_submit (which doesn't do any harm as long as the parameter...

Add qemu_aio_process_queue()

We'll leave some AIO completions unhandled when we can't call the callback.
qemu_aio_process_queue() is used later to run any callbacks that are left and
can be run then.

posix-aio-compat: Split out posix_aio_process_queue

We need to process the request queue and run callbacks separately from reading
out the queue in a later patch, so split it out.

Fix sys-queue.h conflict for good

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896,...

block: add aio_flush operation

Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it
asynchronously. Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an
asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix. Note that while Linux AIO
implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because...

raw-posix: refactor AIO support

Currently the raw-posix.c code contains a lot of knowledge about the
asynchronous I/O scheme that is mostly implemented in posix-aio-compat.c.
All this code does not really belong here and is getting a bit in the
way of implementing native AIO on Linux....

fix asynchronous ioctls

posix_aio_read expect aio requests to return the number of bytes
requests to be successfull, so we need to fake this up for ioctls.

native preadv/pwritev support (Christoph Hellwig)

This ties up the preadv/pwritev syscalls to qemu if they are declared in
unistd.h. This is the case currently on at least NetBSD and OpenBSD and
will hopefully soon be the case on Linux.

Thanks to Blue Swirl and Gerd Hoffmann for the configure autodetection...

push down vector linearization to posix-aio-compat.c (Christoph Hellwig)

Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual
I/O thread. This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev.

Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread....

new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)

Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.

I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom...

Properly handle pthread_cond_timedwait timing out

pthread_cond_timedwait is allowed to both consume the signal and
return with the value indicating the timeout, hence predicate should
always be (re)checked before taking an action

Broadcast was used so that the I/O threads would wakeup, reset their

to prevent threads from exiting in presence of continuing I/O

Replace posix-aio with custom thread pool

glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations.

1) it limits one request per-file descriptor. we hack around this by dup()'ing
file descriptors which is hideously ugly

2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write...
