2013-10-11blockjob: rename BlockJobType to BlockJobDriverFam Zheng
We will use BlockJobType as the enum type name of block jobs in QAPI, rename current BlockJobType to BlockJobDriver, which will eventually become a set of operations, similar to block drivers.

2013-09-06block: make bdrv_delete() staticFam Zheng
Manage BlockDriverState lifecycle with refcnt, so bdrv_delete() is no longer public and should be called by bdrv_unref() if refcnt is decreased to 0. This is an identical change because effectively, there's no multiple reference of BDS now: no caller of bdrv_ref() yet, only bdrv_new() sets bs->refcnt to 1, so all bdrv_unref() now actually delete the BDS.

2013-04-22block: Add driver-specific options for backing filesKevin Wolf
Options starting in "backing." are passed to the backing file now. If you don't need to specify the filename for the backing file, you can add it on the command line instead of in the image file: $ qemu-nbd -t /tmp/test.img $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 empty.qcow2 1G $ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=empty.qcow2,backing.file.driver=nbd,\ backing.file.host=localhost Note that this doesn't override the backing filename from the image. If the image has one, this will fail because NBD doesn't want the options and a filename at the same time. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

2013-01-25mirror: support arbitrarily-sized iterationsPaolo Bonzini
Yet another optimization is to extend the mirroring iteration to include more adjacent dirty blocks. This limits the number of I/O operations and makes mirroring efficient even with a small granularity. Most of the infrastructure is already in place; we only need to put a loop around the computation of the origin and sector count of the iteration.

2013-01-25mirror: support more than one in-flight AIO operationPaolo Bonzini
With AIO support in place, we can start copying more than one chunk in parallel. This patch introduces the required infrastructure for this: the buffer is split into multiple granularity-sized chunks, and there is a free list to access them. Because of copy-on-write, a single operation may already require multiple chunks to be available on the free list. In addition, two different iterations on the HBitmap may want to copy the same cluster. We avoid this by keeping a bitmap of in-flight I/O operations, and blocking until the previous iteration completes. This should be a pretty rare occurrence, though; as long as there is no overlap the next iteration can start before the previous one finishes.

2013-01-25mirror: switch mirror_iteration to AIOPaolo Bonzini
There is really no change in the behavior of the job here, since there is still a maximum of one in-flight I/O operation between the source and the target. However, this patch already introduces the AIO callbacks (which are unmodified in the next patch) and some of the logic to count in-flight operations and only complete the job when there is none.

2013-01-25mirror: allow customizing the granularityPaolo Bonzini
The desired granularity may be very different depending on the kind of operation (e.g. continuous replication vs. collapse-to-raw) and whether the VM is expected to perform lots of I/O while mirroring is in progress. Allow the user to customize it, while providing a sane default so that in general there will be no extra allocated space in the target compared to the source.

2013-01-25mirror: perform COW if the cluster size is bigger than the granularityPaolo Bonzini
When mirroring runs, the backing files for the target may not yet be ready. However, this means that a copy-on-write operation on the target would fill the missing sectors with zeros. Copy-on-write only happens if the granularity of the dirty bitmap is smaller than the cluster size (and only for clusters that are allocated in the source after the job has started copying). So far, the granularity was fixed to 1MB; to avoid the problem we detected the situation and required the backing files to be available in that case only. However, we want to lower the granularity for efficiency, so we need a better solution. The solution is to always copy a whole cluster the first time it is touched. The code keeps a bitmap of clusters that have already been allocated by the mirroring job, and only does "manual" copy-on-write if the chunk being copied is zero in the bitmap.

2012-10-24mirror: add support for on-source-error/on-target-errorPaolo Bonzini
Error management is important for mirroring; otherwise, an error on the target (even something as "innocent" as ENOSPC) requires to start again with a full copy. Similar to on_read_error/on_write_error, two separate knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes). The default is 'report' for both. The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be retried later. Thus, it will not cause corruption.

2012-10-24mirror: implement completionPaolo Bonzini
Switching to the target of the migration is done mostly asynchronously, and reported to management via the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event; the only synchronous phase is opening the backing files. bdrv_open_backing_file can always be done, even for migration of the full image (aka sync: 'full'). In this case, qmp_drive_mirror will create the target disk with no backing file at all, and bdrv_open_backing_file will be a no-op.

2012-10-24mirror: introduce mirror jobPaolo Bonzini
This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image. The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the source to the target in the background. This can be used for several purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and observation of the guest I/O in an external program. It is also a first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is part of QEMU. The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy of the source data. The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs" reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file. When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report successful completion of the job. In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with a past state of the source. (Note that it could already happen that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion event instead of cancellation). It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target disk. The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the basic idea introduced here. These include improved error management, some tunable knobs and performance optimizations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
