[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 8/9] block: Introduce BlockDriver.bdrv_drain callback

[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

Drivers can have internal request sources that generate IO, like the
need_check_timer in QED. Since we want quiesced periods that contain
nested event loops in block layer, we need to have a way to disable such
event sources.

Block drivers must implement the "bdrv_drain" callback if it has any
internal sources that can generate I/O activity, like a timer or a
worker thread (even in a library) that can schedule QEMUBH in an
asynchronous callback.

Update the comments of bdrv_drain and bdrv_drained_begin accordingly.

Like bdrv_requests_pending(), we should consider all the children of bs.
Before, the while loop just works, as bdrv_requests_pending() already
tracks its children; now we mustn't miss the callback, so recurse down
explicitly.
