2014-01-27Fix lan9118 buffer length handlingRoy Franz
The 9118 ethernet controller supports transmission of multi-buffer packets with arbitrary byte alignment of the start and end bytes. All writes to the packet fifo are 32 bits, so the controller discards bytes at the beginning and end of each buffer based on the 'Data start offset' and 'Buffer size' of the TX command 'A' format. This patch uses the provided buffer length to limit the bytes transmitted. Previously all the bytes of the last 32-bit word written to the TX fifo were added to the internal transmit buffer structure resulting in more bytes being transmitted than were submitted to the hardware in the command. This resulted in extra bytes being inserted into the middle of multi-buffer packets when the non-final buffers had non-32bit aligned ending addresses.

2014-01-27Fix lan9118 TX "CMD A" handlingRoy Franz
The 9118 ethernet controller supports transmission of multi-buffer packets with arbitrary byte alignment of the start and end bytes. All writes to the packet fifo are 32 bits, so the controller discards bytes at the beginning and end of each buffer based on the 'Data start offset' and 'Buffer size' of the TX command 'A' format. This patch changes the buffer size and offset internal state variables to be updated on every "TX command A" write. Previously they were only updated for the first segment, which resulted incorrect behavior for packets with more than one segment. Each segment of the packet has its own CMD A command, with its own buffer size and start offset. Also update extraction of fields from the CMD A word to use extract32().

2014-01-24block: Assert serialisation assumptions in pwritevKevin Wolf
If a request calls wait_serialising_requests() and actually has to wait in this function (i.e. a coroutine yield), other requests can run and previously read data (like the head or tail buffer) could become outdated. In this case, we would have to restart from the beginning to read in the updated data. However, we're lucky and don't actually need to do that: A request can only wait in the first call of wait_serialising_requests() because we mark it as serialising before that call, so any later requests would wait. So as we don't wait in practice, we don't have to reload the data. This is an important assumption that may not be broken or data corruption will happen. Document it with some assertions.

This patch changes bdrv_co_do_pwritev() to actually be what its name promises. If requests aren't properly aligned, it performs a RMW. Requests touching the same block are serialised against the RMW request. Further optimisation of this is possible by differentiating types of requests (concurrent reads should actually be okay here).

2014-01-24block: Allow wait_serialising_requests() at any pointKevin Wolf
We can only have a single wait_serialising_requests() call per request because otherwise we can run into deadlocks where requests are waiting for each other. The same is true when wait_serialising_requests() is not at the very beginning of a request, so that other requests can be issued between the start of the tracking and wait_serialising_requests(). Fix this by changing wait_serialising_requests() to ignore requests that are already (directly or indirectly) waiting for the calling request.

2014-01-24block: Don't use guest sector size for qemu_blockalign()Kevin Wolf
bs->buffer_alignment is set by the device emulation and contains the logical block size of the guest device. This isn't something that the block layer should know, and even less something to use for determining the right alignment of buffers to be used for the host. The new BlockLimits field opt_mem_alignment tells the qemu block layer the optimal alignment to be used so that no bounce buffer must be used in the driver. This patch may change the buffer alignment from 4k to 512 for all callers that used qemu_blockalign() with the top-level image format BlockDriverState. The value was never propagated to other levels in the tree, so in particular raw-posix never required anything else than 512. While on disks with 4k sectors direct I/O requires a 4k alignment, memory may still be okay when aligned to 512 byte boundaries. This is what must have happened in practice, because otherwise this would already have failed earlier. Therefore I don't expect regressions even with this intermediate state. Later, raw-posix can implement the hook and expose a different memory alignment requirement.

2014-01-24block/curl: Implement the libcurl timer callback interfacePeter Maydell
libcurl versions 7.16.0 and later have a timer callback interface which must be implemented in order for libcurl to make forward progress (it will sometimes rely on being called back on the timeout if there are no file descriptors registered). Implement the callback, and use a QEMU AIO timer to ensure we prod libcurl again when it asks us to. Based on Peter's original patch plus my fix to add curl_multi_timeout_do. Should compile just fine even on older versions of libcurl. I also tried copy-on-read and streaming: $ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o \ backing_file=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Live/x86_64/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso \ foo.qcow2 1G $ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -drive if=none,file=foo.qcow2,copy-on-read=on,id=cd \ -device ide-cd,drive=cd --enable-kvm -m 1024 Direct http usage is probably too slow, but with copy-on-read ultimately the image does boot!

Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device" and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name. Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user. Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make sense. Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear the current one.
