2009-05-27fully split aio_pool from BlockDriverChristoph Hellwig
Now that we have a separate aio pool structure we can remove those aio pool details from BlockDriver. Every driver supporting AIO now needs to declare a static AIOPool with the aiocb size and the cancellation method. This cleans up the current code considerably and will make it cleaner and more obvious to support two different aio implementations behind a single BlockDriver.

This patch converts the remaining users of bdrv_create2 to bdrv_create and removes the now unused function. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-05-22Convert all block drivers to new bdrv_createKevin Wolf
Now we can make use of the newly introduced option structures. Instead of having bdrv_create carry more and more parameters (which are format specific in most cases), just pass a option structure as defined by the driver itself. bdrv_create2() contains an emulation of the old interface to simplify the transition.

2009-04-22implement qemu_blockalign (Stefano Stabellini)aliguori
this patch adds a buffer_alignment field to BlockDriverState and implements a qemu_blockalign function that uses that field to allocate a memory aligned buffer to be used by the block driver. buffer_alignment is initialized to 512 but each block driver can set a different value (at the moment none of them do). This patch modifies ide.c, block-qcow.c, block-qcow2.c and block.c to use qemu_blockalign instead of qemu_memalign. There is only one place left that still uses qemu_memalign to allocate buffers used by block drivers that is posix-aio-compat:handle_aiocb_rw because it is not possible to get the BlockDriverState from that function. However I think it is not important because posix-aio-compat already deals with driver specific code so it is supposed to know its own needs.

Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual I/O thread. This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev.

2009-03-28new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori
Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the new world order. I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an example. Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple. Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough on a non-Linux OS. Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest to a host CDROM device.

2009-03-12Add specialized block driver scsi generic API (Avi Kivity)aliguori
When a scsi device is backed by a scsi generic device instead of an ordinary host block device, the block API is abused in a couple of annoying ways: - nb_sectors is negative, and specifies a byte count instead of a sector count - offset is ignored, since scsi-generic is essentially a packet protocol This overloading makes hacking the block layer difficult. Remove it by introducing a new explicit API for scsi-generic devices. The new API is still backed by the old implementation, but at least the users are insulated.

2009-03-05monitor: Rework API (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals: term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate reference to monitor output services. For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term, those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed again. Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal functions that invoke monitor_printf. At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

2009-03-05monitor: Rework modal password input (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Currently, waiting for the user to type in some password blocks the whole VM because monitor_readline starts its own I/O loop. And this loop also screws up reading passwords from virtual console. Patch below fixes the shortcomings by using normal I/O processing also for waiting on a password. To keep to modal property for the monitor terminal, the command handler is temporarily replaced by a password handler and a callback infrastructure is established to process the result before switching back to command mode.

2009-03-05monitor: Rework early disk password inquiry (Jan Kiszka)aliguori

2009-03-03Fix CVE-2008-0928 - insufficient block device address range checking ↵aliguori
(Anthony Liguori) Introduce a growable flag that's set by bdrv_file_open(). Block devices should never be growable, only files that are being used by block devices. I went through Fabrice's early comments about the patch that was first applied. While I disagree with that patch, I also disagree with Fabrice's suggestion. There's no good reason to do the checks in the block drivers themselves. It just increases the possibility that this bug could show up again. Since we're calling bdrv_getlength() to determine the length, we're giving the block drivers a chance to chime in and let us know what range is valid. Basically, this patch makes the BlockDriver API guarantee that all requests are within 0..bdrv_getlength() which to me seems like a Good Thing. What do others think?

Lublin) 'num_free_bytes' is the number of non-allocated bytes below highest-allocation. It's useful, together with the highest-allocation, to figure out how fragmented the image is, and how likely it will run out-of-space soon. For example when the highest allocation is high (almost end-of-disk), but many bytes (clusters) are free, and can be re-allocated when neeeded, than we know it's probably not going to reach end-of-disk-space soon.

2009-01-22Vectored block device API (Avi Kivity)aliguori
Most devices that are capable of DMA are also capable of scatter-gather. With the memory mapping API, this means that the device code needs to be able to access discontiguous host memory regions. For block devices, this translates to vectored I/O. This patch implements an aynchronous vectored interface for the qemu block devices. At the moment all I/O is bounced and submitted through the non-vectored API; in the future we will convert block devices to natively support vectored I/O wherever possible.

Virtio will want to use the geometry detection code. It doesn't belong in ide.c anyway. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@5797 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
2008-11-08Use an option rom instead of boot sector for -kernelaliguori
Generate an option rom instead of using a hijacked boot sector for kernel booting. This just requires adding a small option ROM header and a few more instructions to the boot sector to take over the int19 vector and run our boot code. A disk is no longer needed when using -kernel on x86.

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.
