Paolo, this is my attempt at implementing what you were asking for last Friday. I converted blk_(co_)flush/pdiscard/ioctl so that all interfaces (coroutine, AIO, sync) go through the same coroutine-based function already on the BlockBackend level. Where it was reasonably easy, I also removed the corresponding emulations from block/io.c IIUC, this should cover your immediate needs.
Function to remove this series leaves for another day: * bdrv_aio_flush (used by blkdebug, blkverify, qed) * bdrv_flush (even more users) * bdrv_pdiscard (used by qcow2) BlockDriver callbacks to remove left for another day: * bdrv_aio_pdiscard (implemented by raw-posix and rbd) * bdrv_aio_ioctl (implemented by raw-posix and iscsi) In both cases, raw-posix is trivial to covert, but iscsi and rbd feel rather scary without a proper test setup.
