2021-09-29block: use int64_t instead of int in driver discard handlersVladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters on all io paths. Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk. We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means error). So, convert driver discard handlers bytes parameter to int64_t. The only caller of all updated function is bdrv_co_pdiscard in block/io.c. It is already prepared to work with 64bit requests, but pass at most max(bs->bl.max_pdiscard, INT_MAX) to the driver. Let's look at all updated functions: blkdebug: all calculations are still OK, thanks to bdrv_check_qiov_request(). both rule_check and bdrv_co_pdiscard are 64bit blklogwrites: pass to blk_loc_writes_co_log which is 64bit blkreplay, copy-on-read, filter-compress: pass to bdrv_co_pdiscard, OK copy-before-write: pass to bdrv_co_pdiscard which is 64bit and to cbw_do_copy_before_write which is 64bit file-posix: one handler calls raw_account_discard() is 64bit and both handlers calls raw_do_pdiscard(). Update raw_do_pdiscard, which pass to RawPosixAIOData::aio_nbytes, which is 64bit (and calls raw_account_discard()) gluster: somehow, third argument of glfs_discard_async is size_t. Let's set max_pdiscard accordingly. iscsi: iscsi_allocmap_set_invalid is 64bit, !is_byte_request_lun_aligned is 64bit. list.num is uint32_t. Let's clarify max_pdiscard and pdiscard_alignment. mirror_top: pass to bdrv_mirror_top_do_write() which is 64bit nbd: protocol limitation. max_pdiscard is alredy set strict enough, keep it as is for now. nvme: buf.nlb is uint32_t and we do shift. So, add corresponding limits to nvme_refresh_limits(). preallocate: pass to bdrv_co_pdiscard() which is 64bit. rbd: pass to qemu_rbd_start_co() which is 64bit. qcow2: calculations are still OK, thanks to bdrv_check_qiov_request(), qcow2_cluster_discard() is 64bit. raw-format: raw_adjust_offset() is 64bit, bdrv_co_pdiscard too. throttle: pass to bdrv_co_pdiscard() which is 64bit and to throttle_group_co_io_limits_intercept() which is 64bit as well. test-block-iothread: bytes argument is unused Great! Now all drivers are prepared to handle 64bit discard requests, or else have explicit max_pdiscard limits.

2021-09-29block: use int64_t instead of int in driver write_zeroes handlersVladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters on all io paths. Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk. We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means error). So, convert driver write_zeroes handlers bytes parameter to int64_t. The only caller of all updated function is bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes(). bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes() itself is of course OK with widening of callee parameter type. Also, bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes()'s max_write_zeroes is limited to INT_MAX. So, updated functions all are safe, they will not get "bytes" larger than before. Still, let's look through all updated functions, and add assertions to the ones which are actually unprepared to values larger than INT_MAX. For these drivers also set explicit max_pwrite_zeroes limit. Let's go: blkdebug: calculations can't overflow, thanks to bdrv_check_qiov_request() in generic layer. rule_check() and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() both have 64bit argument. blklogwrites: pass to blk_log_writes_co_log() with 64bit argument. blkreplay, copy-on-read, filter-compress: pass to bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() which is OK copy-before-write: Calls cbw_do_copy_before_write() and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes, both have 64bit argument. file-posix: both handler calls raw_do_pwrite_zeroes, which is updated. In raw_do_pwrite_zeroes() calculations are OK due to bdrv_check_qiov_request(), bytes go to RawPosixAIOData::aio_nbytes which is uint64_t. Check also where that uint64_t gets handed: handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_block() passes a uint64_t[2] to ioctl(BLKZEROOUT), handle_aiocb_write_zeroes() calls do_fallocate() which takes off_t (and we compile to always have 64-bit off_t), as does handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_unmap. All look safe. gluster: bytes go to GlusterAIOCB::size which is int64_t and to glfs_zerofill_async works with off_t. iscsi: Aha, here we deal with iscsi_writesame16_task() that has uint32_t num_blocks argument and iscsi_writesame16_task() has uint16_t argument. Make comments, add assertions and clarify max_pwrite_zeroes calculation. iscsi_allocmap_() functions already has int64_t argument is_byte_request_lun_aligned is simple to update, do it. mirror_top: pass to bdrv_mirror_top_do_write which has uint64_t argument nbd: Aha, here we have protocol limitation, and NBDRequest::len is uint32_t. max_pwrite_zeroes is cleanly set to 32bit value, so we are OK for now. nvme: Again, protocol limitation. And no inherent limit for write-zeroes at all. But from code that calculates cdw12 it's obvious that we do have limit and alignment. Let's clarify it. Also, obviously the code is not prepared to handle bytes=0. Let's handle this case too. trace events already 64bit preallocate: pass to handle_write() and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes(), both 64bit. rbd: pass to qemu_rbd_start_co() which is 64bit. qcow2: offset + bytes and alignment still works good (thanks to bdrv_check_qiov_request()), so tail calculation is OK qcow2_subcluster_zeroize() has 64bit argument, should be OK trace events updated qed: qed_co_request wants int nb_sectors. Also in code we have size_t used for request length which may be 32bit. So, let's just keep INT_MAX as a limit (aligning it down to pwrite_zeroes_alignment) and don't care. raw-format: Is OK. raw_adjust_offset and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes are both 64bit. throttle: Both throttle_group_co_io_limits_intercept() and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() are 64bit. vmdk: pass to vmdk_pwritev which is 64bit quorum: pass to quorum_co_pwritev() which is 64bit Hooray! At this point all block drivers are prepared to support 64bit write-zero requests, or have explicitly set max_pwrite_zeroes.

2020-09-23qemu/atomic.h: rename atomic_ to qatomic_Stefan Hajnoczi
clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file: $ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make ../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid) Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.

2020-07-10error: Eliminate error_propagate() with Coccinelle, part 2Markus Armbruster
When all we do with an Error we receive into a local variable is propagating to somewhere else, we can just as well receive it there right away. The previous commit did that with a Coccinelle script I consider fairly trustworthy. This commit uses the same script with the matching of return taken out, i.e. we convert if (!foo(..., &err)) { ... error_propagate(errp, err); ... } to if (!foo(..., errp)) { ... ... } This is unsound: @err could still be read between afterwards. I don't know how to express "no read of @err without an intervening write" in Coccinelle. Instead, I manually double-checked for uses of @err. Suboptimal line breaks tweaked manually. qdev_realize() simplified further to placate scripts/checkpatch.pl.

2020-05-18block: Use bdrv_default_perms()Max Reitz
bdrv_default_perms() can decide which permission profile to use based on the BdrvChildRole, so block drivers do not need to select it explicitly. The blkverify driver now no longer shares the WRITE permission for the image to verify. We thus have to adjust two places in test-block-iothread not to take it. (Note that in theory, blkverify should behave like quorum in this regard and share neither WRITE nor RESIZE for both of its children. In practice, it does not really matter, because blkverify is used only for debugging, so we might as well keep its permissions rather liberal.)

2020-05-18block: Make filter drivers use child_of_bdsMax Reitz
Note that some filters have secondary children, namely blkverify (the image to be verified) and blklogwrites (the log). This patch does not touch those children. Note that for blkverify, the filtered child should not be format-probed. While there is nothing enforcing this here, in practice, it will not be: blkverify implements .bdrv_file_open. The block layer ensures (and in fact, asserts) that BDRV_O_PROTOCOL is set for every BDS whose driver implements .bdrv_file_open. This flag will then be bequeathed to blkverify's children, and they will thus (by default) not be probed either. ("By default" refers to the fact that blkverify's other child (the non-filtered one) will have BDRV_O_PROTOCOL force-unset, because that is what happens for all non-filtered children of non-format drivers.)

2018-06-11throttle: Fix crash on reopenAlberto Garcia
The throttle block filter can be reopened, and with this it is possible to change the throttle group that the filter belongs to. The way the code does that is the following: - On throttle_reopen_prepare(): create a new ThrottleGroupMember and attach it to the new throttle group. - On throttle_reopen_commit(): detach the old ThrottleGroupMember, delete it and replace it with the new one. The problem with this is that by replacing the ThrottleGroupMember the previous value of io_limits_disabled is lost, causing an assertion failure in throttle_co_drain_end(). This problem can be reproduced by reopening a throttle node: $QEMU -monitor stdio -object throttle-group,id=tg0,x-iops-total=1000 \ -blockdev node-name=hd0,driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=hd.qcow2 \ -blockdev node-name=root,driver=throttle,throttle-group=tg0,file=hd0,read-only=on (qemu) block_stream root block/throttle.c:214: throttle_co_drain_end: Assertion `tgm->io_limits_disabled' failed. Since we only want to change the throttle group on reopen there's no need to create a ThrottleGroupMember and discard the old one. It's easier if we simply detach it from its current group and attach it to the new one.

2018-05-15block: Support BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED in filtersMax Reitz
Update the rest of the filter drivers to support BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED. They already forward write request flags to their children, so we just have to announce support for it. This patch does not cover the replication driver because that currently does not support flags at all, and because it just grabs the WRITE permission for its children when it can, so we should be fine just submitting the incoming WRITE_UNCHANGED requests as normal writes. It also does not cover format drivers for similar reasons. They all use bdrv_format_default_perms() as their .bdrv_child_perm() implementation so they just always grab the WRITE permission for their file children whenever possible. In addition, it often would be difficult to ascertain whether incoming unchanging writes end up as unchanging writes in their files. So we just leave them as normal potentially changing writes.
