2011-11-21block: allow migration to work with image files (v3)Anthony Liguori
Image files have two types of data: immutable data that describes things like image size, backing files, etc. and mutable data that includes offset and reference count tables. Today, image formats aggressively cache mutable data to improve performance. In some cases, this happens before a guest even starts. When dealing with live migration, since a file is open on two machines, the caching of meta data can lead to data corruption. This patch addresses this by introducing a mechanism to invalidate any cached mutable data a block driver may have which is then used by the live migration code. NB, this still requires coherent shared storage. Addressing migration without coherent shared storage (i.e. NFS) requires additional work. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-11-11block: add eject request callbackPaolo Bonzini
Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on discs that aren't mounted. Add support for these events in the ATAPI and SCSI cd drive device models. To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also be added for "tray opened/closed". This way, after issuing an "eject" command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the command. They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout. However, with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models, at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.

2011-10-11block: Keep track of devices' I/O statusLuiz Capitulino
This commit adds support to the BlockDriverState type to keep track of devices' I/O status. There are three possible status: BDRV_IOS_OK (no error), BDRV_IOS_ENOSPC (no space error) and BDRV_IOS_FAILED (any other error). The distinction between no space and other errors is important because a management application may want to watch for no space in order to extend the space assigned to the VM and put it to run again. Qemu devices supporting the I/O status feature have to enable it explicitly by calling bdrv_iostatus_enable() _and_ have to be configured to stop the VM on errors (ie. werror=stop|enospc or rerror=stop). In case of multiple errors being triggered in sequence only the first one is stored. The I/O status is always reset to BDRV_IOS_OK when the 'cont' command is issued. Next commits will add support to some devices and extend the query-block/info block commands to return the I/O status information.

2011-09-12block: Clean up remaining users of "removable"Markus Armbruster
BlockDriverState member removable is a confused mess. It is true when an ide-cd, scsi-cd or floppy qdev is attached, or when the BlockDriverState was created with -drive if={floppy,sd} or -drive if={ide,scsi,xen,none},media=cdrom ("created removable"), except when an ide-hd, scsi-hd, scsi-generic or virtio-blk qdev is attached. Three users remain: 1. eject_device(), via bdrv_is_removable() uses it to determine whether a block device can eject media. 2. bdrv_info() is monitor command "info block". QMP documentation says "true if the device is removable, false otherwise". From the monitor user's point of view, the only sensible interpretation of "is removable" is "can eject media with monitor commands eject and change". A block device can eject media unless a device is attached that doesn't support it. Switch the two users over to new bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() that returns exactly that. 3. bdrv_getlength() uses to suppress its length cache when media can change (see commit 46a4e4e6). Media change is either monitor command change (updates the length cache), monitor command eject (doesn't update the length cache, easily fixable), or physical media change (invalidates length cache, not so easily fixable). I'm refraining from improving anything here, because this series is long enough already. Instead, I simply switch it over to bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() as well. This changes the behavior of the length cache and of monitor commands eject and change in two cases: a. drive not created removable, no device attached The commit makes the drive removable, and defeats the length cache. Example: -drive if=none b. drive created removable, but the attached drive is non-removable, and doesn't call bdrv_set_removable(..., 0) (most devices don't) The commit makes the drive non-removable, and enables the length cache. Example: -drive if=xen,media=cdrom -M xenpv The other non-removable devices that don't call bdrv_set_removable() can't currently use a drive created removable, either because they aren't qdevified, or because they lack a drive property. Won't stay that way. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

Also scsi hasn't been converted to the end-to-end accounting as I want to defer that after the pending scsi layer overhaul.

2011-04-07Do not delete BlockDriverState when deleting the driveRyan Harper
When removing a drive from the host-side via drive_del we currently have the following path: drive_del qemu_aio_flush() bdrv_close() // zaps bs->drv, which makes any subsequent I/O get // dropped. Works as designed drive_uninit() bdrv_delete() // frees the bs. Since the device is still connected to // bs, any subsequent I/O is a use-after-free. The value of bs->drv becomes unpredictable on free. As long as it remains null, I/O still gets dropped, however it could become non-null at any point after the free resulting SEGVs or other QEMU state corruption. To resolve this issue as simply as possible, we can chose to not actually delete the BlockDriverState pointer. Since bdrv_close() handles setting the drv pointer to NULL, we just need to remove the BlockDriverState from the QLIST that is used to enumerate the block devices. This is currently handled within bdrv_delete, so move this into its own function, bdrv_make_anon(). The result is that we can now invoke drive_del, this closes the file descriptors and sets BlockDriverState->drv to NULL which prevents futher IO to the device, and since we do not free BlockDriverState, we don't have to worry about the copy retained in the block devices. We also don't attempt to remove the qdev property since we are no longer deleting the BlockDriverState on drives with associated drives. This also allows for removing Drives with no devices associated either.

2010-07-02block: Fix virtual media change for if=noneMarkus Armbruster
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed. It is set when the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY. The type hint is only set by drive_init(). It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY for if=floppy. It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide, scsi, xen, or none. if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM. if=xen likewise, I think. For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or scsi-disk. For other guest devices, there are problems: * fdc: you can't change virtual media $ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) eject foo Device 'foo' is not removable unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly. * virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. If you eject, the guest gets I/O errors. If you change, the guest sees the drive's contents suddenly change. * scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.

2010-06-15savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshotsMiguel Di Ciurcio Filho
Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized. First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten? bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there is snapshots or not. Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image. So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots(). static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void) { BlockDriverState *bs; DriveInfo *dinfo; if (bs_snapshots) return bs_snapshots; QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) { bs = dinfo->bdrv; if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs)) goto ok; } return NULL; ok: bs_snapshots = bs; return bs; } bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support snapshots and do_savevm() goes on. Later on in do_savevm(), we find: QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) { bs1 = dinfo->bdrv; if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) { /* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */ sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0); ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn); if (ret < 0) { monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n", bdrv_get_device_name(bs1)); } } } bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is actually checked for snapshot support. So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not, the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good behavior. It should be an all or nothing process. This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot() where appropriate. bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me. The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at least all writable devices must support snapshots too.
