2013-07-15block: Add return value for bdrv_flush_all()Kevin Wolf
bdrv_flush() can fail, and bdrv_flush_all() should return an error as well if this happens for a block device. It returns the first error return now, but still at least tries to flush the remaining devices even in error cases.

2013-07-15block: Don't parse protocol from file.filenameKevin Wolf
One of the major reasons for doing something new for -blockdev and blockdev-add was that the old block layer code parses filenames instead of just taking them literally. So we should really leave it untouched when it's passing using the new interfaces (like -drive file.filename=...). This allows opening relative file names that contain a colon.

2013-07-05block: fix bdrv_flush() ordering in bdrv_close()Stefan Hajnoczi
Since 80ccf93b we flush the block device during close. The bdrv_drain_all() call should come before bdrv_flush() to ensure guest write requests have completed. Otherwise we may miss pending writes when flushing. Call bdrv_drain_all() again for safety as the final step after bdrv_flush(). This should not be necessary but we can be paranoid here in case bdrv_flush() left I/O pending.

2013-06-28block: change default of .has_zero_init to 0Peter Lieven
.has_zero_init defaults to 1 for all formats and protocols. this is a dangerous default since this means that all new added drivers need to manually overwrite it to 0 if they do not ensure that a device is zero initialized after bdrv_create(). if a driver needs to explicitly set this value to 1 its easier to verify the correctness in the review process. during review of the existing drivers it turned out that ssh and gluster had a wrong default of 1. both protocols support host_devices as backend which are not by default zero initialized. this wrong assumption will lead to possible corruption if qemu-img convert is used to write to such a backend. vpc and vmdk also defaulted to 1 altough they support fixed respectively flat extends. this has to be addresses in separate patches. both formats as well as the mentioned ssh and gluster are turned to the default of 0 with this patch for safety. a similar problem with the wrong default existed for iscsi most likely because the driver developer did oversee the default value of 1.

2013-06-24block: Always enable discard on the protocol levelKevin Wolf
Turning on discard options in qcow2 doesn't help a lot when the discard requests that it issues are thrown away by the raw-posix layer. This patch always enables discard functionality on the protocol level so that it's the image format's responsibility to send (or not) discard requests. Requests sent by the guest will be allowed or ignored by the top level BlockDriverState, which depends on the discard=... option like before. In particular, this means that even without specifying options, the qcow2 default of discarding deleted snapshots actually takes effect now, both for qemu and qemu-img.

2013-06-04block: drop bs_snapshots global variableStefan Hajnoczi
The bs_snapshots global variable points to the BlockDriverState which will be used to save vmstate. This is really a savevm.c concept but was moved into block.c:bdrv_snapshots() when it became clear that hotplug could result in a dangling pointer. While auditing the block layer's global state I came upon bs_snapshots and realized that a variable is not necessary here. Simply find the first BlockDriverState capable of internal snapshots each time this is needed. The behavior of bdrv_snapshots() is preserved across hotplug because new drives are always appended to the bdrv_states list. This means that calling the new find_vmstate_bs() function is idempotent - it returns the same BlockDriverState unless it was hot-unplugged.

2013-06-04block: add block driver read only whitelistFam Zheng
We may want to include a driver in the whitelist for read only tasks such as diagnosing or exporting guest data (with libguestfs as a good example). This patch introduces a readonly whitelist option, and for backward compatibility, the old configure option --block-drv-whitelist is now an alias to rw whitelist. Drivers in readonly list is only permitted to open file readonly, and returns -ENOTSUP for RW opening. E.g.

2013-04-05block: fix I/O throttling accounting blind spotStefan Hajnoczi
I/O throttling relies on bdrv_acct_done() which is called when a request completes. This leaves a blind spot since we only charge for completed requests, not submitted requests. For example, if there is 1 operation remaining in this time slice the guest could submit 3 operations and they will all be submitted successfully since they don't actually get accounted for until they complete. Originally we probably thought this is okay since the requests will be accounted when the time slice is extended. In practice it causes fluctuations since the guest can exceed its I/O limit and it will be punished for this later on. Account for I/O upon submission so that I/O limits are enforced properly.

2013-03-28block: Fix direct use of protocols as driver for bdrv_open()Kevin Wolf
bdrv_open_common() implements direct use of protocols by copying the pre-opened BlockDriverStates to bs using bdrv_swap(). It did however first set some fields in bs, which end up in file after the swap. When bdrv_open() destroys file, it appears to be open, and because it isn't, qemu could segfault while trying to close it. Reorder the operations to return immediately in such cases so that file is correctly detected as closed.

2013-03-22block: Allow omitting the file name when using driver-specific optionsKevin Wolf
After this patch, using -drive with an empty file name continues to open the file if driver-specific options are used. If no driver-specific options are specified, the semantics stay as it was: It defines a drive without an inserted medium. In order to achieve this, bdrv_open() must be made safe to work with a NULL filename parameter. The assumption that is made is that only block drivers which implement bdrv_parse_filename() support using driver specific options and could therefore work without a filename. These drivers must make sure to cope with NULL in their implementation of .bdrv_open() (this is only NBD for now). For all other drivers, the block layer code will make sure to error out before calling into their code - they can't possibly work without a filename. Now an NBD connection can be opened like this: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=nbd,file.port=1234,file.host=::1 Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

During a commit of 'all' using the HMP non-live commit, the operation is aborted and returns error on the first error enountered. When non-COW drives are in use (e.g. ejected floppy, cdrom, or drives without a backing parent), that means a commit all will return an error of either -ENOMEDIUM or -ENOTSUP. This is not desirable, so for the 'all' commit case, only attempt the commit if both bs->drv and bs->backing_hd are present. More succinctly: 'commit all' now means a commit on all COW drives.

2013-02-22block: implement BDRV_O_UNMAPPaolo Bonzini
It is better to present homogeneous hardware independent of the storage technology that is chosen on the host, hence we make discard a host parameter; the user can choose whether to pass it down to the image format and protocol, or to ignore it. Using DISCARD with filesystems can cause very severe fragmentation, so it is left default-off for now. This can change later when we implement the "anchor" operation for efficient management of preallocated files. There is still one choice to make: whether DISCARD has an effect on the dirty bitmap or not. I chose yes, though there is a disadvantage: if the guest is buggy and issues discards for data that is in use, there will be no way to migrate storage for that guest without downgrading the machine type to an older one.
