2016-11-14blockjob: add block_job_startJohn Snow
Instead of automatically starting jobs at creation time via backup_start et al, we'd like to return a job object pointer that can be started manually at later point in time. For now, add the block_job_start mechanism and start the jobs automatically as we have been doing, with conversions job-by-job coming in later patches. Of note: cancellation of unstarted jobs will perform all the normal cleanup as if the job had started, particularly abort and clean. The only difference is that we will not emit any events, because the job never actually started.

2016-11-14blockjob: add .start fieldJohn Snow
Add an explicit start field to specify the entrypoint. We already have ownership of the coroutine itself AND managing the lifetime of the coroutine, let's take control of creation of the coroutine, too. This will allow us to delay creation of the actual coroutine until we know we'll actually start a BlockJob in block_job_start. This avoids the sticky question of how to "un-create" a Coroutine that hasn't been started yet.

2016-11-01blockjobs: split interface into public/private, Part 1John Snow
To make it a little more obvious which functions are intended to be public interface and which are intended to be for use only by jobs themselves, split the interface into "public" and "private" files. Convert blockjobs (e.g. block/backup) to using the private interface. Leave blockdev and others on the public interface. There are remaining uses of private state by qemu-img, and several cases in blockdev.c and block/io.c where we grab job->blk for the purposes of acquiring an AIOContext. These will be corrected in future patches.

2016-10-31block: Block all nodes involved in the block-commit operationAlberto Garcia
After a successful block-commit operation all nodes between top and base are removed from the backing chain, and top's overlay needs to be updated to point to base. Because of that we should prevent other block jobs from messing with them. This patch blocks all operations in these nodes in commit_start().

2016-09-23commit: Add 'base' to the reopen queue before 'overlay_bs'Alberto Garcia
Now that we're checking for duplicates in the reopen queue, there's no need to force a specific order in which the queue is constructed so we can revert 3db2bd5508c86a1605258bc77c9672d93b5c350e. Since both ways of constructing the queue are now valid, this patch doesn't have any effect on the behavior of QEMU and is not strictly necessary. However it can help us check that the fix for the reopen queue is robust: if it stops working properly at some point, iotest 040 will break.

2016-09-20commit: get the overlay node before manipulating the backing chainAlberto Garcia
The 'block-commit' command has a 'top' parameter to specify the topmost node from which the data is going to be copied. [E] <- [D] <- [C] <- [B] <- [A] In this case if [C] is the top node then this is the result: [E] <- [B] <- [A] [B] must be modified so its backing image string points to [E] instead of [C]. commit_start() takes care of reopening [B] in read-write mode, and commit_complete() puts it back in read-only mode once the operation has finished. In order to find [B] (the overlay node) we look for the node that has [C] (the top node) as its backing image. However in commit_complete() we're doing it after [C] has been removed from the chain, so [B] is never found and remains in read-write mode. This patch gets the overlay node before the backing chain is manipulated.

2016-07-13Improve block job rate limiting for small bandwidth valuesSascha Silbe
ratelimit_calculate_delay() previously reset the accounting every time slice, no matter how much data had been processed before. This had (at least) two consequences: 1. The minimum speed is rather large, e.g. 5 MiB/s for commit and stream. Not sure if there are real-world use cases where this would be a problem. Mirroring and backup over a slow link (e.g. DSL) would come to mind, though. 2. Tests for block job operations (e.g. cancel) were rather racy All block jobs currently use a time slice of 100ms. That's a reasonable value to get smooth output during regular operation. However this also meant that the state of block jobs changed every 100ms, no matter how low the configured limit was. On busy hosts, qemu often transferred additional chunks until the test case had a chance to cancel the job. Fix the block job rate limit code to delay for more than one time slice to address the above issues. To make it easier to handle oversized chunks we switch the semantics from returning a delay _before_ the current request to a delay _after_ the current request. If necessary, this delay consists of multiple time slice units. Since the mirror job sends multiple chunks in one go even if the rate limit was exceeded in between, we need to keep track of the start of the current time slice so we can correctly re-compute the delay for the updated amount of data. The minimum bandwidth now is 1 data unit per time slice. The block jobs are currently passing the amount of data transferred in sectors and using 100ms time slices, so this translates to 5120 bytes/second. With chunk sizes usually being O(512KiB), tests have plenty of time (O(100s)) to operate on block jobs. The chance of a race condition now is fairly remote, except possibly on insanely loaded systems.

2016-07-13coroutine: move entry argument to qemu_coroutine_createPaolo Bonzini
In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new. Mostly done with the following semantic patch: @ entry1 @ expression entry, arg, co; @@ - co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry); + co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg); ... - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); @ entry2 @ expression entry, arg; identifier co; @@ - Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry); + Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg); ... - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); @ entry3 @ expression entry, arg; @@ - qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry), arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg)); @ reentry @ expression co; @@ - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise produce an uninitialized variable warning.

2016-07-13blockjob: Add 'job_id' parameter to block_job_create()Alberto Garcia
When a new job is created, the job ID is taken from the device name of the BDS. This patch adds a new 'job_id' parameter to let the caller provide one instead. This patch also verifies that the ID is always unique and well-formed. This causes problems in a couple of places where no ID is being set, because the BDS does not have a device name. In the case of test_block_job_start() (from test-blockjob-txn.c) we can simply use this new 'job_id' parameter to set the missing ID. In the case of img_commit() (from qemu-img.c) we still don't have the API to make commit_active_start() set the job ID, so we solve it by setting a default value. We'll get rid of this as soon as we extend the API.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h, compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a similar job to this file and are under similar constraints." qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of 100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need. Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List. Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h, sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h comment quoted above similarly. This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on qapi-types.h shrinks only a little.

2015-11-11commit: reopen overlay_bs before baseAlberto Garcia
'block-commit' needs write access to two different nodes of the chain: - 'base', because that's where the data is written to. - the overlay of 'top', because it needs to update the backing file string to point to 'base' after the operation. Both images have to be opened in read-write mode, and commit_start() takes care of reopening them if necessary. With the current implementation, however, when overlay_bs is reopened in read-write mode it has the side effect of making 'base' read-only again, eventually making 'block-commit' fail. This needs to be fixed in bdrv_reopen(), but until we get to that it can be worked around simply by swapping the order of base and overlay_bs in the reopen queue. In order to reproduce this bug, overlay_bs needs to be initially in read-only mode. That is: the 'top' parameter of 'block-commit' cannot be the active layer nor its immediate backing chain.

2014-07-01block: extend block-commit to accept a string for the backing fileJeff Cody
On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image after a block commit. For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???), or a relative protocol pathname may have been used. In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does have that knowledge. With this extension to the block-commit api, the user is able to change the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit operation. This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest. If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image to modify in that case). If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was previously.
