[PATCH v2 0/3] block: Make bdrv_refresh_limits() non-recursive

[Hanna Reitz <hreitz@redhat.com>]

Hi,

v1 with detailed reasoning:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2022-02/msg00508.html

This series makes bdrv_refresh_limits() non-recursive so that it is
sufficient for callers to ensure that the node on which they call it
will not receive concurrent I/O requests (instead of ensuring the same
for the whole subtree).

We need to ensure such I/O does not happen because bdrv_refresh_limits()
is not atomic and will produce intermediate invalid values, which will
break concurrent I/O requests that read these values.


v2:
- Use separate `try` block to clean up in patch 2 instead of putting the
  `os.remove()` in the existing one (which would cause the second
  `os.remove()` to be skipped if the first one failed)


git-backport-diff against v1:

Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively
