H A Dblock.cdiff dbffbdcfff69431b622866ac5ea78df74fdc02d4 Thu Nov 17 07:40:27 CST 2011 Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> block: add request tracking

The block layer does not know about pending requests. This information
is necessary for copy-on-read since overlapping requests must be
serialized to prevent races that corrupt the image.

The BlockDriverState gets a new tracked_request list field which
contains all pending requests. Each request is a BdrvTrackedRequest
record with sector_num, nb_sectors, and is_write fields.

Note that request tracking is always enabled but hopefully this extra
work is so small that it doesn't justify adding an enable/disable flag.
