2014-11-03qemu-img: Implement commit like QMPMax Reitz1-2/+1
qemu-img should use QMP commands whenever possible in order to ensure feature completeness of both online and offline image operations. As qemu-img itself has no access to QMP (since this would basically require just everything being linked into qemu-img), imitate QMP's implementation of block-commit by using commit_active_start() and then waiting for the block job to finish.

2014-10-20block: New BlockBackendMarkus Armbruster1-1/+1
A block device consists of a frontend device model and a backend. A block backend has a tree of block drivers doing the actual work. The tree is managed by the block layer. We currently use a single abstraction BlockDriverState both for tree nodes and the backend as a whole. Drawbacks: * Its API includes both stuff that makes sense only at the block backend level (root of the tree) and stuff that's only for use within the block layer. This makes the API bigger and more complex than necessary. Moreover, it's not obvious which interfaces are meant for device models, and which really aren't. * Since device models keep a reference to their backend, the backend object can't just be destroyed. But for media change, we need to replace the tree. Our solution is to make the BlockDriverState generic, with actual driver state in a separate object, pointed to by member opaque. That lets us replace the tree by deinitializing and reinitializing its root. This special need of the root makes the data structure awkward everywhere in the tree. The general plan is to separate the APIs into "block backend", for use by device models, monitor and whatever other code dealing with block backends, and "block driver", for use by the block layer and whatever other code (if any) dealing with trees and tree nodes. Code dealing with block backends, device models in particular, should become completely oblivious of BlockDriverState. This should let us clean up both APIs, and the tree data structures. This commit is a first step. It creates a minimal "block backend" API: type BlockBackend and functions to create, destroy and find them. BlockBackend objects are created and destroyed exactly when root BlockDriverState objects are created and destroyed. "Root" in the sense of "in bdrv_states". They're not yet used for anything; that'll come shortly. A root BlockDriverState is created with bdrv_new_root(), so where to create a BlockBackend is obvious. Where these roots get destroyed isn't always as obvious. It is obvious in qemu-img.c, qemu-io.c and qemu-nbd.c, and in error paths of blockdev_init(), blk_connect(). That leaves destruction of objects successfully created by blockdev_init() and blk_connect(). blockdev_init() is used only by drive_new() and qmp_blockdev_add(). Objects created by the latter are currently indestructible (see commit 48f364d "blockdev: Refuse to drive_del something added with blockdev-add" and commit 2d246f0 "blockdev: Introduce DriveInfo.enable_auto_del"). Objects created by the former get destroyed by drive_del(). Objects created by blk_connect() get destroyed by blk_disconnect(). BlockBackend is reference-counted. Its reference count never exceeds one so far, but that's going to change. In drive_del(), the BB's reference count is surely one now. The BDS's reference count is greater than one when something else is holding a reference, such as a block job. In this case, the BB is destroyed right away, but the BDS lives on until all extra references get dropped.

2014-09-22block: delete cow block driverStefan Hajnoczi1-1/+1
This patch removes support for the cow file format. Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there is no impact and it is the most logical option. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block driver is the right thing to do. The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way of running a Linux system in userspace. The performance of UML was never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before hardware virtualization support became mainstream. QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format. Unfortunately the file format was underspecified: 1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing filename field. The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal. 2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures. In particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment differences. Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not. Therefore: 1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format. 2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures. This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports from users actually hitting these issues. Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be affected.

2014-09-10block: Extract the block accounting codeBenoît Canet1-0/+1
The plan is to add new accounting metrics (latency, invalid requests, failed requests, queue depth) and block.c is overpopulated so it will be better to work in a separate module. Moreover the long term plan is to have statistics in each of the BDS of the graph for metrology purpose; this means that the device model statistics must move from the topmost BDS to the device model. So we need to decouple the statistic code from BlockDriverState. This is another argument for the extraction of the code in a separate module.

If a block is corrupted or if an error occurs during an IO or if the quorum cannot be established QMP events are used to report to the management. Use gnutls's SHA-256 to compare versions. --enable-quorum must be used to enable the feature.

Quorum is a block filter mirroring writes to num_children children. For reads quorum reads each children and does a vote. If more than vote_threshold versions are identical the quorum is reached and this winning version is returned to the guest. So quorum prevents bit corruption. For high availability purpose minority errors are reported via QMP but the guest does not see them.

2014-02-09block: add native support for NFSPeter Lieven1-0/+1
This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS shares without the requirement to actually mount the entire NFS share on the host. NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form: nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>[?param=value[&param2=value2[&...]]] For example: qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2 You need LibNFS from Ronnie Sahlberg available at: git://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.git for this to work. During configure it is automatically probed for libnfs and support is enabled on-the-fly. You can forbid or enforce libnfs support with --disable-libnfs or --enable-libnfs respectively. Due to NFS restrictions you might need to execute your binaries as root, allow them to open priviledged ports (<1024) or specify insecure option on the NFS server. For additional information on ROOT vs. non-ROOT operation and URL format + parameters see: https://raw.github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/master/README Supported by qemu are the uid, gid and tcp-syncnt URL parameters.

This adds support for VHDX v0 logs, as specified in Microsoft's VHDX Specification Format v1.00: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34750 The following support is added: * Log parsing, and validation - validate that an existing log is correct. * Log search - search through an existing log, to find any valid sequence of entries. * Log replay and flush - replay an existing log, and flush/clear the log when complete. The VHDX log is a circular buffer, with elements (sectors) of 4KB. A log entry is a variably-length number of sectors, that is comprised of a header and 'descriptors', that describe each sector. A log may contain multiple entries, know as a log sequence. In a log sequence, each log entry immediately follows the previous entry, with an incrementing sequence number. There can only ever be one active and valid sequence in the log. Each log entry must match the file log GUID in order to be valid (along with other criteria). Once we have flushed all valid log entries, we marked the file log GUID to be zero, which indicates a buffer with no valid entries.

backup_start() creates a block job that copies a point-in-time snapshot of a block device to a target block device. We call backup_do_cow() for each write during backup. That function reads the original data from the block device before it gets overwritten. The data is then written to the target device. Currently backup cluster size is hardcoded to 65536 bytes. [I made a number of changes to Dietmar's original patch and folded them in to make code review easy. Here is the full list: * Drop BackupDumpFunc interface in favor of a target block device * Detect zero clusters with buffer_is_zero() and use bdrv_co_write_zeroes() * Use 0 delay instead of 1us, like other block jobs * Unify creation/start functions into backup_start() * Simplify cleanup, free bitmap in backup_run() instead of cb * function * Use HBitmap to avoid duplicating bitmap code * Use bdrv_getlength() instead of accessing ->total_sectors * directly * Delete the backup.h header file, it is no longer necessary * Move ./backup.c to block/backup.c * Remove #ifdefed out code * Coding style and whitespace cleanups * Use bdrv_add_before_write_notifier() instead of blockjob-specific hooks * Keep our own in-flight CowRequest list instead of using block.c tracked requests.

2012-10-24mirror: introduce mirror jobPaolo Bonzini1-0/+1
This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image. The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the source to the target in the background. This can be used for several purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and observation of the guest I/O in an external program. It is also a first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is part of QEMU. The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy of the source data. The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs" reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file. When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report successful completion of the job. In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with a past state of the source. (Note that it could already happen that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion event instead of cancellation). It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target disk. The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the basic idea introduced here. These include improved error management, some tunable knobs and performance optimizations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2012-09-28block: Support GlusterFS as a QEMU block backend.Bharata B Rao1-0/+1
This patch adds gluster as the new block backend in QEMU. This gives QEMU the ability to boot VM images from gluster volumes. Its already possible to boot from VM images on gluster volumes using FUSE mount, but this patchset provides the ability to boot VM images from gluster volumes by by-passing the FUSE layer in gluster. This is made possible by using libgfapi routines to perform IO on gluster volumes directly. VM Image on gluster volume is specified like this: file=gluster[+transport]://[server[:port]]/volname/image[?socket=...] 'gluster' is the protocol. 'transport' specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are tcp, unix and rdma. If a transport type isn't specified, then tcp type is assumed. 'server' specifies the server where the volume file specification for the given volume resides. This can be either hostname, ipv4 address or ipv6 address. ipv6 address needs to be within square brackets [ ]. If transport type is 'unix', then 'server' field should not be specifed. The 'socket' field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain socket. 'port' is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional and if not specified, QEMU will send 0 which will make gluster to use the default port. If the transport type is unix, then 'port' should not be specified. 'volname' is the name of the gluster volume which contains the VM image. 'image' is the path to the actual VM image that resides on gluster volume. Examples: file=gluster://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4:24007/testvol/dir/a.img file=gluster+tcp://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]/testvol/dir/a.img file=gluster+tcp://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]:24007/testvol/dir/a.img file=gluster+tcp://server.domain.com:24007/testvol/dir/a.img file=gluster+unix:///testvol/dir/a.img?socket=/tmp/glusterd.socket file=gluster+rdma://1.2.3.4:24007/testvol/a.img Signed-off-by: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
