If the flag BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH was set, pass it further to the
COR-driver to skip unneeded reading. It can be taken into account for
the COR-algorithms optimization. That check is being made during the
block stream job by the moment.

How about dropping the double negation and using a logical && instead of
the binary &?

Hm.  I would have just written the negated form

(!(flags & BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH) || (local_flags & BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ))

and put the “skip” comment above that condition.

(Since local_flags is initialized to flags, it can be written as a
single comparison, but that’s a matter of taste and I’m not going to
recommend either over the other:

((local_flags & (BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH | BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ)) !=
BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH)

)

Ah, OK.  I see.  I expected this to be a separate patch.  I still wonder
why it isn’t.

When BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH is passed, qiov may be (and generally should be) NULL. This means, that we can't just drop the flag when call the driver that doesn't support it.

Actually, if driver doesn't support the PREFETCH flag we should do nothing.

Could it be part of patch 07? I mean introduce new field supported_read_flags and handle it in generic code in one patch, prior to implementing support for it in COR driver.

True. :/

Hm.  But at least in the case of COR, PREFETCH is not something that can
be optimized to be a no-op (unless the COR is a no-op); it still denotes
a command that must be executed.

So if we can’t pass it to the driver, I don’t think we should do
nothing, but to return an error.  Or maybe we could even assert that it
isn’t set for drivers that don’t support it, because at least right now
such a case would just be a bug.

Hmm. Reasonable..

So, let me summarize the cases:

1. bdrv_co_preadv(.. , PREFETCH | COR)

   In this case generic layer should handle both flags and pass flags=0 to driver

2. bdrv_co_preadv(.., PREFETCH)

2.1 driver supporst PREFETCH
   
   OK, pass PREFETCH to driver, no problems

2.2 driver doesn't support PREFETCH

   We can just abort() here, as the only source of PREFETCH without COR would be
   stream job driver, which must read from COR filter.

   More generic solution is to allocate temporary buffer (at least if qiov is NULL)
   and call underlying driver .preadv with flags=0 on that temporary buffer. But
   just abort() is simpler and should work for now.

I played with the flags to make the idea obvious for the eye of a 
beholder: "we neither read nor write".
Comparing the BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH against the 'flags' means that the flag 
comes from outside of the function.
And the empty section means we do nothing in that case.
Eventually, I will pick up the brief expression below.
Thanks,

We have to add the supported flags for the COR driver in the same patch. 
Or before handling the supported_read_flags at the generic layer 
(handling zero does not make a sence). Otherwise, the test #216 (where 
the COR-filter is applied) will not pass.

I have found a workaround and am going to send all the related patches 
as a separate series.

What is the problem?

If in a separate patch prior to modifying COR driver, we add new field supported_read_flags and add a support for it in generic layer, when no driver support it yet, nothing should be changed and all tests should pass..
