How about just putting the function header here? If you really have to 
move vpc_co_get_block_status() up, I'd rather like it to be in a 
separate patch.

Second, while apparently vpc_read() is actually called in a coroutine, 
that is pretty hard to know. Most importantly, it's not marked as a 
coroutine_fn. Therefore I don't think it's a good idea to call 
vpc_co_get_block_status() directly; I'd vote for either using 
bdrv_get_block_status(), or moving the content of 
vpc_co_get_block_status() to a non-coroutine_fn (it doesn't contain an 
coroutine-related function calls, so this is fine) and then making 
vpc_co_get_block_status() a wrapper around that, or just dropping this 
patch.

The latter I'm proposing because I don't really see what this patch 
improves. The previous vpc_read() function was pretty straightforward, 
too, and I don't think it was unbearably longer.

One could argue that the coroutine_fn stuff doesn't really matter in 
this situation because it doesn't actually do anything right now and 
vpc_co_get_block_status() does not call any other coroutine_fn functions 
in turn; however, it is a semantic contract established by 
include/block/coroutine.h and as far as I remember, Stefan did 
eventually want to have something to error out on compile-time if a 
non-coroutine_fn function calls a coroutine_fn. I don't like breaking 
this contract even if it's not bad in this specific case.

Considering you probably think bdrv_get_block_status() to be too much 
overhead (it will fall down to the protocol layer on VHD_FIXED) and you 
probably find making vpc_read() shorter justified (again, which I don't 
necessarily), I think moving the contents of vpc_co_get_block_status() 
to a non-coroutine_fn might be the best way to go.

Superfluous whitespace here.

Please make that "return ret" (and possibly "if (ret < 0)", if you want to).

I took this from the orignal vpc_read function. Maybe the author also wanted
to catch short reads.

I tend to drop the whole patch anyway. I was tempted to use that new vpc_co_get_block_status
function somehow because I saw that part of its logic is in vpc_read as well.

If it should stay maybe it would be an option to inline vpc_read in vpc_co_read (and the same for write)?

There are no short reads (any more), though. ;-)

Oh, I totally missed the vpc_co_read(). That would make sense, because 
you actually can call vpc_co_get_block_status() from there, or you just 
add the coroutine_fn specifier to vpc_read(). It's up to you, I'm fine 
with all of dropping, inlining, and making vpc_read() a coroutine_fn.
