2012-02-09block: add .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interfaceStefan Hajnoczi
The ability to zero regions of an image file is a useful primitive for higher-level features such as image streaming or zero write detection. Image formats may support an optimized metadata representation instead of writing zeroes into the image file. This allows zero writes to be potentially faster than regular write operations and also preserve sparseness of the image file. The .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface should be implemented by block drivers that wish to provide efficient zeroing. Note that this operation is different from the discard operation, which may leave the contents of the region indeterminate. That means discarded blocks are not guaranteed to contain zeroes and may contain junk data instead.

2012-01-26block: make copy-on-read a per-request flagStefan Hajnoczi
Previously copy-on-read could only be enabled for all requests to a block device. This means requests coming from the guest as well as QEMU's internal requests would perform copy-on-read when enabled. For image streaming we want to support finer-grained behavior than just populating the image file from its backing image. Image streaming supports partial streaming where a common backing image is preserved. In this case guest requests should not perform copy-on-read because they would indiscriminately copy data which should be left in a backing image from the backing chain. Introduce a per-request flag for copy-on-read so that a block device can process both regular and copy-on-read requests. Overlapping reads and writes still need to be serialized for correctness when copy-on-read is happening, so add an in-flight reference count to track this.

2011-12-05block: add interface to toggle copy-on-readStefan Hajnoczi
The bdrv_enable_copy_on_read()/bdrv_disable_copy_on_read() functions can be used to programmatically enable or disable copy-on-read for a block device. Later patches add the actual copy-on-read logic. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2011-12-05block: add request trackingStefan Hajnoczi
The block layer does not know about pending requests. This information is necessary for copy-on-read since overlapping requests must be serialized to prevent races that corrupt the image. The BlockDriverState gets a new tracked_request list field which contains all pending requests. Each request is a BdrvTrackedRequest record with sector_num, nb_sectors, and is_write fields. Note that request tracking is always enabled but hopefully this extra work is so small that it doesn't justify adding an enable/disable flag.

2011-12-05block: drop .bdrv_is_allocated() interfaceStefan Hajnoczi
Now that all block drivers have been converted to .bdrv_co_is_allocated() we can drop .bdrv_is_allocated(). Note that the public bdrv_is_allocated() interface is still available but is in fact a synchronous wrapper around .bdrv_co_is_allocated().

2011-12-05block: add .bdrv_co_is_allocated()Stefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds the .bdrv_co_is_allocated() interface which is identical to .bdrv_is_allocated() but runs in coroutine context. Running in coroutine context implies that other coroutines might be performing I/O at the same time. Therefore it must be safe to run while the following BlockDriver functions are in-flight: .bdrv_co_readv() .bdrv_co_writev() .bdrv_co_flush() .bdrv_co_is_allocated() The new .bdrv_co_is_allocated() interface is useful because it can be used when a VM is running, whereas .bdrv_is_allocated() is a synchronous interface that does not cope with parallel requests.

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: Introduce bdrv_co_flush_to_osKevin Wolf
qcow2 has a writeback metadata cache, so flushing a qcow2 image actually consists of writing back that cache to the protocol and only then flushes the protocol in order to get everything stable on disk. This introduces a separate bdrv_co_flush_to_os to reflect the split. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
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 discard to co_discardPaolo Bonzini

Since coroutine operation is now mandatory, convert all bdrv_flush implementations to coroutines. For qcow2, this means taking the lock.

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.

2011-08-25block: explicit I/O accountingChristoph Hellwig
Decouple the I/O accounting from bdrv_aio_readv/writev/flush and make the hardware models call directly into the accounting helpers. This means: - we do not count internal requests from image formats in addition to guest originating I/O - we do not double count I/O ops if the device model handles it chunk wise - we only account I/O once it actuall is done - can extent I/O accounting to synchronous or coroutine I/O easily - implement I/O latency tracking easily (see the next patch) I've conveted the existing device model callers to the new model, device models that are using synchronous I/O and weren't accounted before haven't been updated yet. Also scsi hasn't been converted to the end-to-end accounting as I want to defer that after the pending scsi layer overhaul.
