If the flag BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH was set, pass it further to the

the COR-algorithms optimization. That check is being made during the
block stream job by the moment.

BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH is documented to be only used with
BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ. But here
BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ appears intermediately. We should change
documentation in block.h
in a separate patch (and probably code in bdrv_aligned_preadv())
OK, we will come here without the BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH flag set.
flag BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH should be set in stream job. Where should it be
handled, I don't follow?
If we leave block/io.c unchanged in this patch, what I'm agreeing with,
we'll come to the COR-driver with the hardcoded flags = 0 :

So, the only way for the COR-filter driver to differ between guests
reads and the stream job is to check the qiov pointer for NULL and reset
the flags as appropriate. This is what I am going to do in the next version.
Andrey
To differ between guest reads and the stream job ones, we would set it
here by checking for the qiov NULL pointer:

Why? In this place we want to read. We'll write back the data a few
lines below. What will we write,
if underlying driver decide to do nothing because of BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH?
See my comment above please.
Anyway, BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH here is wrong. You should not pass any qiov,
if you set BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH flag.
If we come to bdrv_co_do_copy_on_readv, it means that we have
COPY_ON_READ flag. And therefore, we will handle
PREFETCH and COPY_ON_READ here in generic layer. And therefore, we
shouldn't pass them to driver.
On the contrary, if we have PREFETCH flag in bdrv_co_aligned_preadv, but
don't have COPY_ON_READ in the same time,
this means that we must pass PREFETCH flag to the driver if it supports
it. And do nothing if driver
doesn't support PREFETCH. That's how I see it.
