Basically, all of your additions also apply for qcow2 images or other image formats, and we need to check whether they make sense there. bdrv_probe_blocksizes() is used for the default values for the physical and logical block sizes for block devices if no value is explicitly specified in -device. This makes sense as it will allow the guest to optimise its requests so that they align with the block size that is optimal for the storage that contains the image. (I also think that we probably should implement .bdrv_probe_blocksizes() not only for host_device, but also for regular files to get optimal performance by default.) Changing the defaults can be a problem for cross-version live migration if the default values are used. Management tools that want to do live migration are supposed to explicitly provide all options they can, so this should be okay. Eric, does libvirt set the physical/logical block size explicitly? If not, it would be good if it started to do so.

Basically, SCSI passthrough doesn't work well with anything that isn't just a file-posix BDS. Bypassing block nodes for it, whether image formats or filter drivers, might get these drivers into surprising states and might even break the image. I'd rather not support bdrv_co_ioctl() for anything that can't explicitly handle it. Kevin

If > not, it would be good if it started to do so. Libvirt supports user control of block size via this XML in <disk>: <blockio logical_block_size='512' physical_block_size='4096'/> which it translates to command-line logical_block_size= and physical_block_size=. But I didn't see anywhere that libvirt tries to do anything with block size in QMP, which makes me wonder if that is a libvirt bug for not allowing a block size when hot-plugging a drive, or a weakness in QMP. Your point that if libvirt isn't always specifying block size, then we risk the block size changing on migration (that is, libvirt should be patched to specify block size always, and not just when the XML specifies it).

In fact, this made me think: if we define .is_filter as an enum instead of a bool, we could implement 0 for no filter, 1 for file filter, and 2 for backing filter. Then instead of having to have 2 separate default bdrv_get_block_status_for_*() generic functions in patch 4, we could instead patch bdrv_co_get_block_status() to check .is_filter, and automatically fall back to bs->file or bs->backing according to the enum value stored in .is_filter.

After reviewing the rest of the series, I'm not completely convinced of using .is_filter any more. If you look at the patch for the raw format driver, it actually turns out that even though we would intuitively call it a filter, it has different properties than for example a throttle filter and passing through function calls to bs->file makes sense for a different set of functions.
