2010-08-03block: Change bdrv_eject() not to drop the imageMarkus Armbruster
bdrv_eject() gets called when a device model opens or closes the tray. If the block driver implements method bdrv_eject(), that method gets called. Drivers host_cdrom implements it, and it opens and closes the physical tray, and nothing else. When a device model opens, then closes the tray, media changes only if the user actively changes the physical media while the tray is open. This is matches how physical hardware behaves. If the block driver doesn't implement method bdrv_eject(), we do something quite different: opening the tray severs the connection to the image by calling bdrv_close(), and closing the tray does nothing. When the device model opens, then closes the tray, media is gone, unless the user actively inserts another one while the tray is open, with a suitable change command in the monitor. This isn't how physical hardware behaves. Rather inconvenient when programs "helpfully" eject media to give you a chance to change it. The way bdrv_eject() behaves here turns that chance into a must, which is not what these programs or their users expect. Change the default action not to call bdrv_close(). Instead, note the tray status in new BlockDriverState member tray_open. Use it in bdrv_is_inserted(). Arguably, the device models should keep track of tray status themselves. But this is less invasive. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2010-08-03block: Fix bdrv_has_zero_initKevin Wolf

2010-07-15Make default invocation of block drivers safer (v3)Anthony Liguori
CVE-2008-2004 described a vulnerability in QEMU whereas a malicious user could trick the block probing code into accessing arbitrary files in a guest. To mitigate this, we added an explicit format parameter to -drive which disabling block probing. Fast forward to today, and the vast majority of users do not use this parameter. libvirt does not use this by default nor does virt-manager. Most users want block probing so we should try to make it safer. This patch adds some logic to the raw device which attempts to detect a write operation to the beginning of a raw device. If the first 4 bytes happen to match an image file that has a backing file that we support, it scrubs the signature to all zeros. If a user specifies an explicit format parameter, this behavior is disabled. I contend that while a legitimate guest could write such a signature to the header, we would behave incorrectly anyway upon the next invocation of QEMU. This simply changes the incorrect behavior to not involve a security vulnerability. I've tested this pretty extensively both in the positive and negative case. I'm not 100% confident in the block layer's ability to deal with zero sized writes particularly with respect to the aio functions so some additional eyes would be appreciated. Even in the case of a single sector write, we have to make sure to invoked the completion from a bottom half so just removing the zero sized write is not an option.

2010-07-02block: Catch attempt to attach multiple devices to a blockdevMarkus Armbruster
For instance, -device scsi-disk,drive=foo -device scsi-disk,drive=foo happily creates two SCSI disks connected to the same block device. It's all downhill from there. Device usb-storage deliberately attaches twice to the same blockdev, which fails with the fix in place. Detach before the second attach there.

2010-07-02qdev: Decouple qdev_prop_drive from DriveInfoMarkus Armbruster
Make the property point to BlockDriverState, cutting out the DriveInfo middleman. This prepares the ground for block devices that don't have a DriveInfo. Currently all user-defined ones have a DriveInfo, because the only way to define one is -drive & friends (they go through drive_init()). DriveInfo is closely tied to -drive, and like -drive, it mixes information about host and guest part of the block device. I'm working towards a new way to define block devices, with clean host/guest separation, and I need to get DriveInfo out of the way for that. Fortunately, the device models are perfectly happy with BlockDriverState, except for two places: ide_drive_initfn() and scsi_disk_initfn() need to check the DriveInfo for a serial number set with legacy -drive serial=... Use drive_get_by_blockdev() there. Device model code should now use DriveInfo only when explicitly dealing with drives defined the old way, i.e. without -device.

2010-05-03block: Add wr_highest_sector blockstatKevin Wolf
This adds the wr_highest_sector blockstat which implements what is generally known as the high watermark. It is the highest offset of a sector written to the respective BlockDriverState since it has been opened. The query-blockstat QMP command is extended to add this value to the result, and also to add the statistics of the underlying protocol in a new "parent" field. Note that to get the "high watermark" of a qcow2 image, you need to look into the wr_highest_sector field of the parent (which can be a file, a host_device, ...). The wr_highest_sector of the qcow2 BlockDriverState itself is the highest offset on the _virtual_ disk that the guest has written to. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
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.

2010-04-23blkdebug: Add events and rulesKevin Wolf
Block drivers can trigger a blkdebug event whenever they reach a place where it could be useful to inject an error for testing/debugging purposes. Rules are read from a blkdebug config file and describe which action is taken when an event is triggered. For now this is only injecting an error (with a few options) or changing the state (which is an integer). Rules can be declared to be active only in a specific state; this way later rules can distiguish on which path we came to trigger their event. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2010-03-17block: add logical_block_size propertyChristoph Hellwig
Add a logical block size attribute as various guest side tools only increase the filesystem sector size based on it, not the advisory physical block size. For scsi we already have support for a different logical block size in place for CDROMs that we can built upon. Only my recent block device characteristics VPD page needs some fixups. Note that we leave the logial block size for CDROMs hardcoded as the 2k value is expected for it in general. For virtio-blk we already have a feature flag claiming to support a variable logical block size that was added for the s390 kuli hypervisor. Interestingly it does not actually change the units in which the protocol works, which is still fixed at 512 bytes, but only communicates a different minimum I/O granularity. So all we need to do in virtio is to add a trap for unaligned I/O and round down the device size to the next multiple of the logical block size. IDE does not support any other logical block size than 512 bytes. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2010-02-10block: add topology qdev propertiesChristoph Hellwig
Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to the guest. This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays or SSDs. The options are: - physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device, this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many modern storage devices - min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact, this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays. - opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is typically the RAID stripe width for arrays. I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration. Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in. The reason for that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only uses the physical block exponent. To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring what is done for network drivers. Also switch over all block drivers to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever. Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and 8k optimal I/O size: -drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192 aliguori: updated patch to take into account BLOCK events Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-09-11Add bdrv_aio_multiwriteKevin Wolf
One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster. Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place. As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less and larger requests. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-08-27qcow2: Metadata preallocationKevin Wolf
This introduces a qemu-img create option for qcow2 which allows the metadata to be preallocated, i.e. clusters are reserved in the refcount table and L1/L2 tables, but no data is written to them. Metadata is quite small, so this happens in almost no time. Especially with qcow2 on virtio this helps to gain a bit of performance during the initial writes. However, as soon as create a snapshot, we're back to the normal slow speed, obviously. So this isn't the real fix, but kind of a cheat while we're still having trouble with qcow2 on virtio. Note that the option is disabled by default and needs to be specified explicitly using qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata.

2009-04-22implement qemu_blockalign (Stefano Stabellini)aliguori

This patch modifies ide.c, block-qcow.c, block-qcow2.c and block.c to use qemu_blockalign instead of qemu_memalign. There is only one place left that still uses qemu_memalign to allocate buffers used by block drivers that is posix-aio-compat:handle_aiocb_rw because it is not possible to get the BlockDriverState from that function.

2009-03-28new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori
Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the new world order. I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an example. Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple. Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough on a non-Linux OS.
