2009-01-29fix raw_aio_read\write error handling (Stefano Stabellini)aliguori
Currently when qemu_paio_read or qemu_paio_write return an error we call qemu_aio_release without removing the request from the list. I know that in the current implementation qemu_paio_write\read don't return any error, but still the behavior is wrong, especially considering that the implementation of these two functions is likely to change in is the future. This patch fixes the problem adding a raw_aio_remove function that removes the callback from the queue and also calls qemu_aio_release. raw_aio_remove is called by raw_aio_read, raw_aio_write and raw_aio_cancel.

2008-12-12Replace posix-aio with custom thread poolaliguori
glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations. 1) it limits one request per-file descriptor. we hack around this by dup()'ing file descriptors which is hideously ugly 2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write operation to properly support a zero-copy API. What has been suggested to me by glibc folks, is to implement whatever new interfaces we want and then it can eventually be proposed for standardization. This requires that we implement our own posix-aio implementation though. This patch implements posix-aio using pthreads. It immediately eliminates the need for fd pooling. It performs at least as well as the current posix-aio code (in some circumstances, even better).

2008-10-14Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by defaultaliguori
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity it not at all an issue. cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

2008-10-08Fix IO performance regression in sparcaliguori
Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe. There is no way to interrupt the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable. This results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during bootup. This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally suggested by Ian Jackson. The signal handler lets us interrupt the CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the select/signal race condition.

2008-09-27Make compatfd fallback more robustaliguori
Be more friendly when signalfd() fails, and also add configure checks to detect that syscall(SYS_signalfd) actually works. malc pointed out that some installs do not have /usr/include/linux headers that are in sync with the glibc headers so why SYS_signalfd is defined, it's #defined to _NR_signalfd which is not defined in the /usr/include/linux header. While this is a distro bug, it doesn't hurt to do a more thorough job in detection.

2008-09-26Implement an fd pool to get real AIO with posix-aioaliguori
This patch implements a simple fd pool to allow many AIO requests with posix-aio. The result is significantly improved performance (identical to that reported for linux-aio) for both cache=on and cache=off. The fundamental problem with posix-aio is that it limits itself to one thread per-file descriptor. I don't know why this is, but this patch provides a simple mechanism to work around this (duplicating the file descriptor). This isn't a great solution, but it seems like a reasonable intermediate step between posix-aio and a custom thread-pool to replace it. Ryan Harper will be posting some performance analysis he did comparing posix-aio with fd pooling against linux-aio. The size of the posix-aio thread pool and the fd pool were largely determined by him based on this analysis.

__GLIBC_PREREQ is defined in such a way that the ! cannot be used in front of it on FreeBSD. Also, -lpthread is not implied by the build and we definitely use it for compatfd support.

2008-09-22Refactor AIO to allow multiple AIO implementationsaliguori
This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations. It's only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch. Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend. For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must support registration. This patch introduces a new function, qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be called back. qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered with this function until one becomes readable or writable. This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices (like NBD).

2008-09-16block-raw is not a protocolaliguori
The protocol_name "file" was added to the block driver when async IO was introduced. This can be used to select that a file is treated as a raw device instead of probing for the type. However, protocols are not subject to path interpretation which cases qcow2 images with raw base images to not function is the path was specified relatively. The fix is simply to remove the protocol_name from the raw block driver. The proper way to force the use of a raw block format is to use the format= option with -drive.

2008-09-15Use common objects for qemu-img and qemu-nbdaliguori
Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for linking against qemu and the tools. This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects. This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to #if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows. After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and qemu-nbd.

2008-09-11Only build compatfd when using AIO and make sure to always init AIOaliguori
OpenBSD doesn't use AIO so don't try to build compatfd when not using AIO. Also make sure to call qemu_aio_init() from bdrv_init. Everything that uses bdrv calls bdrv_init so it makes sense to init aio from there instead of in every single tool.

2008-09-10Use signalfd() to work around signal/select racealiguori
This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in checking for AIO completions. For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we emulate it with threads. There was a long discussion about this approach. I don't believe there are any fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of signals is a good thing. I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests. I've also checked for disk IO performance regressions.
