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.

2011-12-05cow: use bdrv_co_is_allocated()Stefan Hajnoczi
Now that bdrv_co_is_allocated() is available we can use it instead of the synchronous bdrv_is_allocated() interface. This is a follow-up that Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> pointed out after applying the series that introduces bdrv_co_is_allocated(). It is safe to make cow_read() a coroutine_fn because its only caller is a coroutine_fn. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2011-12-05cow: convert to .bdrv_co_is_allocated()Stefan Hajnoczi

This means it is safe to perform cluster lookups in coroutine context without risk of race conditions that corrupt internal state.

2011-11-11block: Rename bdrv_co_flush to bdrv_co_flush_to_diskKevin Wolf
There are two different types of flush that you can do: Flushing one level up to the OS (i.e. writing data to the host page cache) or flushing it all the way down to the disk. The existing functions flush to the disk, reflect this in the function name. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2011-10-21block: change flush to co_flushPaolo Bonzini
Since coroutine operation is now mandatory, convert all bdrv_flush implementations to coroutines. For qcow2, this means taking the lock. Other implementations are simpler and just forward bdrv_flush to the underlying protocol, so they can avoid the lock. The bdrv_flush callback is then unused and can be eliminated.

2011-10-21block: take lock around bdrv_write implementationsPaolo Bonzini
This does the first part of the conversion to coroutines, by wrapping bdrv_write implementations to take the mutex. Drivers that implement bdrv_write rather than bdrv_co_writev can then benefit from asynchronous operation (at least if the underlying protocol supports it, which is not the case for raw-win32), even though they still operate with a bounce buffer.

2011-10-21block: add a CoMutex to synchronous read driversPaolo Bonzini
The big conversion of bdrv_read/write to coroutines caused the two homonymous callbacks in BlockDriver to become reentrant. It goes like this: 1) bdrv_read is now called in a coroutine, and calls bdrv_read or bdrv_pread. 2) the nested bdrv_read goes through the fast path in bdrv_rw_co_entry; 3) in the common case when the protocol is file, bdrv_co_do_readv calls bdrv_co_readv_em (and from here goes to bdrv_co_io_em), which yields until the AIO operation is complete; 4) if bdrv_read had been called from a bottom half, the main loop is free to iterate again: a device model or another bottom half can then come and call bdrv_read again. This applies to all four of read/write/flush/discard. It would also apply to is_allocated, but it is not used from within coroutines: besides qemu-img.c and qemu-io.c, which operate synchronously, the only user is the monitor. Copy-on-read will introduce a use in the block layer, and will require converting it. The solution is "simply" to convert all drivers to coroutines! We just need to add a CoMutex that is taken around affected operations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-06-15cow: use qemu block APIChristoph Hellwig

2010-06-15cow: stop using mmapChristoph Hellwig
We don't have an equivalent to mmap in the qemu block API, so read and write the bitmap directly. At least in the dumb implementation added in this patch this is a lot less efficient, but it means cow can also work on windows, and over nbd or curl. And it fixes qemu-iotests testcase 012 which did not work properly due to issues with read-only mmap access. In addition we can also get rid of the now unused get_mmap_addr function.

2010-05-03block: Open the underlying image file in generic codeKevin Wolf
Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but rather just get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patch introduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which need to access the filename to open their file/device/connection/... a new callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file opened. For now, also some of the more obscure formats use bdrv_file_open because they open() the file themselves instead of using the block.c functions. They need to be fixed in later patches.

2009-09-11block: use fdatasync instead of fsync if possibleChristoph Hellwig
If we are flushing the caches for our image files we only care about the data (including the metadata required for accessing it) but not things like timestamp updates. So try to use fdatasync instead of fsync to implement the flush operations. Unfortunately many operating systems still do not support fdatasync, so we add a qemu_fdatasync wrapper that uses fdatasync if available as per the _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO feature macro or fsync otherwise.

Now we can make use of the newly introduced option structures.
