block.h currently contains a mix of functions: some of them run under the BQL and modify the block layer graph, others are instead thread-safe and perform I/O in iothreads. Some others can only be called by either the main loop or the iothread running the AioContext (and not other iothreads), and using them in another thread would cause deadlocks, and therefore it is not ideal to define them as I/O. It is not easy to understand which function is part of which group (I/O vs GS vs "I/O or GS"), and this patch aims to clarify it. The "GS" functions need the BQL, and often use aio_context_acquire/release and/or drain to be sure they can modify the graph safely. The I/O function are instead thread safe, and can run in any AioContext. "I/O or GS" functions run instead in the main loop or in a single iothread, and use BDRV_POLL_WHILE(). By splitting the header in two files, block-io.h and block-global-state.h we have a clearer view on what needs what kind of protection. block-common.h contains common structures shared by both headers. block.h is left there for legacy and to avoid changing all includes in all c files that use the block APIs. Assertions are added in the next patch.
