2013-09-12qmp: add internal snapshot support in qmp_transactionWenchao Xia
Unlike savevm, the qmp_transaction interface will not generate snapshot name automatically, saving trouble to return information of the new created snapshot. Although qcow2 support storing multiple snapshots with same name but different ID, here it will fail when an snapshot with that name already exist before the operation. Format such as rbd do not support ID at all, and in most case, it means trouble to user when he faces multiple snapshots with same name, so ban that case. Request with empty name will be rejected.

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.

2013-07-26Implement sync modes for drive-backup.Ian Main
This patch adds sync-modes to the drive-backup interface and implements the FULL, NONE and TOP modes of synchronization. FULL performs as before copying the entire contents of the drive while preserving the point-in-time using CoW. NONE only copies new writes to the target drive. TOP copies changes to the topmost drive image and preserves the point-in-time using CoW. For sync mode TOP are creating a new target image using the same backing file as the original disk image. Then any new data that has been laid on top of it since creation is copied in the main backup_run() loop. There is an extra check in the 'TOP' case so that we don't bother to copy all the data of the backing file as it already exists in the target. This is where the bdrv_co_is_allocated() is used to determine if the data exists in the topmost layer or below. Also any new data being written is intercepted via the write_notifier hook which ends up calling backup_do_cow() to copy old data out before it gets overwritten. For mode 'NONE' we create the new target image and only copy in the original data from the disk image starting from the time the call was made. This preserves the point in time data by only copying the parts that are *going to change* to the target image. This way we can reconstruct the final image by checking to see if the given block exists in the new target image first, and if it does not, you can get it from the original image. This is basically an optimization allowing you to do point-in-time snapshots with low overhead vs the 'FULL' version. Since there is no old data to copy out the loop in backup_run() for the NONE case just calls qemu_coroutine_yield() which only wakes up after an event (usually cancel in this case). The rest is handled by the before_write notifier which again calls backup_do_cow() to write out the old data so it can be preserved.

2013-07-26blockdev: Split up 'cache' optionKevin Wolf
The old 'cache' option really encodes three different boolean flags into a cache mode name, without providing all combinations. Make them three separate options instead and translate the old option to the new ones for drive_init(). The specific boolean options take precedence if the old cache option is specified as well, so the following options are equivalent: -drive file=x,cache=none,cache.no-flush=true -drive file=x,cache.writeback=true,cache.direct=true,cache.no-flush=true Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

2013-07-15blockdev: add sync mode to drive-backup QMP commandStefan Hajnoczi
The drive-backup command is similar to the drive-mirror command, except no guest data written after the command executes gets copied. Add a sync mode argument which determines whether the entire disk is copied, just allocated clusters, or only clusters being written to by the guest. Currently only sync mode 'full' is supported - it copies the entire disk. For read-only point-in-time snapshots we may only need sync mode 'none' since the target can be a qcow2 file using the guest's disk as its backing file (no need to copy the entire disk). Finally, sync mode 'top' is useful if we wish to preserve the backing chain. Note that this patch just adds the sync mode argument to drive-backup. It does not implement sync modes 'top' or 'none'. This patch is necessary so we can add a drive-backup HMP command that behaves like the existing drive-mirror HMP command and takes a sync mode.

Note that QMP events are emitted for block job completion/cancellation and the block job will be listed by query-block-jobs. @device: the name of the device whose writes should be mirrored. @target: the target of the new image.

Hot unplug the device: (qemu) drive_del foo 3. Select the first boot menu entry Without this patch the guest pauses due to ENOMEDIUM. The guest is stuck in a continuous pause loop since the I/O request is retried and fails immediately again when the guest is resumed. With this patch the error is reported to the guest. Note that this scenario actually happens sometimes during libvirt disk hot unplug, where device_del is followed by drive_del.

2013-03-22block: Allow omitting the file name when using driver-specific optionsKevin Wolf
After this patch, using -drive with an empty file name continues to open the file if driver-specific options are used. If no driver-specific options are specified, the semantics stay as it was: It defines a drive without an inserted medium. In order to achieve this, bdrv_open() must be made safe to work with a NULL filename parameter. The assumption that is made is that only block drivers which implement bdrv_parse_filename() support using driver specific options and could therefore work without a filename. These drivers must make sure to cope with NULL in their implementation of .bdrv_open() (this is only NBD for now). For all other drivers, the block layer code will make sure to error out before calling into their code - they can't possibly work without a filename. Now an NBD connection can be opened like this: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=nbd,file.port=1234,file.host=::1 Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
