[Qemu-block] [PATCH v7 0/3] block/stream: get rid of the base

[Andrey Shinkevich]

This series introduces a bottom intermediate node that eliminates the
dependency on the base that may change while stream job is running.
It happens when stream/commit parallel jobs are running on the same
backing chain. The base node of the stream job may be a top node of
the parallel commit job and can change before the stream job is
completed. We avoid that dependency by introducing the bottom node.

v7: [resend by Andrey]
  01: assert(intermediate) was inserted before the call to
      bdrv_is_allocated() in the intermediate node loop of the
      bdrv_is_allocated_above() as suggested by Max.
  02: The change of the intermediate node loop in the stream_start() was
      rolled back to its original design and the reassignment of the base
      node pointer was added as Vladimir and Max suggested. The relevant
      comment was amended.

v6: [resend by Vladimir]
  01: improve comment in block/io.c, suggested by Alberto

v5: [resend by Vladimir]
  01: use comment wording in block/io.c suggested by Alberto

v4:
trace_stream_start reverted to the base.
bdrv_is_allocated_above_inclusive() deleted and the new parameter
'bool include_base' was added to the bdrv_is_allocated_above().

Andrey Shinkevich (3):
  block: include base when checking image chain for block allocation
  block/stream: refactor stream_run: drop goto
  block/stream: introduce a bottom node
