2014-05-19block: optimize zero writes with bdrv_write_zeroesPeter Lieven
this patch tries to optimize zero write requests by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is supported by the format. This significantly speeds up file system initialization and should speed zero write test used to test backend storage performance. I ran the following 2 tests on my internal SSD with a 50G QCOW2 container and on an attached iSCSI storage. a) mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdX QCOW2 [off] [on] [unmap] ----- runtime: 14secs 1.1secs 1.1secs filesize: 937M 18M 18M iSCSI [off] [on] [unmap] ---- runtime: 9.3s 0.9s 0.9s b) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vdX bs=1M oflag=direct QCOW2 [off] [on] [unmap] ----- runtime: 246secs 18secs 18secs filesize: 51G 192K 192K throughput: 203M/s 2.3G/s 2.3G/s iSCSI* [off] [on] [unmap] ---- runtime: 8mins 45secs 33secs throughput: 106M/s 1.2G/s 1.6G/s allocated: 100% 100% 0% * The storage was connected via an 1Gbit interface. It seems to internally handle writing zeroes via WRITESAME16 very fast. Signed-off-by: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2014-04-25blockdev: Clean up fragile use of error_is_set()Markus Armbruster
Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether a function failed is either wrong, fragile, or unnecessarily opaque. It's wrong when ERRP may be null, because errors go undetected when it is. It's fragile when proving ERRP non-null involves a non-local argument. Else, it's unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f0). The error_is_set(errp) in internal_snapshot_prepare() is merely fragile, because the caller never passes a null errp argument. Make the code more robust and more obviously correct: receive the error in a local variable, then propagate it through the parameter.

2014-04-22block: Catch duplicate IDs in bdrv_new()Kevin Wolf
Since commit f298d071, block devices added with blockdev-add don't have a QemuOpts around in dinfo->opts. Consequently, we can't rely any more on QemuOpts catching duplicate IDs for block devices. This patch adds a new check for duplicate IDs to bdrv_new(), and moves the existing check that the ID isn't already taken for a node-name there as well.

This patch adds an errp parameter to bdrv_new() and updates all its callers. The next patches will make use of this in order to check for duplicate IDs. Most of the callers know that their ID is fine, so they can simply assert that there is no error. Behaviour doesn't change with this patch yet as bdrv_new() doesn't actually assign errors to errp.

Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic. Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device" and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name. Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user. Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make sense. Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear the current one. Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.

2013-11-27block/drive-mirror: Reuse backing HD for sync=noneMax Reitz
For "none" sync mode in "absolute-paths" mode, the current image should be used as the backing file for the newly created image. The current behavior is: a) If the image to be mirrored has a backing file, use that (which is wrong, since the operations recorded by "none" are applied to the image itself, not to its backing file). b) If the image to be mirrored lacks a backing file, the target doesn't have one either (which is not really wrong, but not really right, either; "none" records a set of operations executed on the image file, therefore having no backing file to apply these operations on seems rather pointless). For a, this is clearly a bugfix. For b, it is still a bugfix, although it might break existing API - but since that case crashed qemu just three weeks ago (before 1452686495922b81d6cf43edf025c1aef15965c0), we can safely assume there is no such API relying on that case yet.

2013-11-14block/drive-mirror: Check for NULL backing_hdMax Reitz
It should be possible to execute the QMP "drive-mirror" command in "none" sync mode and "absolute-paths" mode even for block devices lacking a backing file. "absolute-paths" does in fact not require a backing file to be present, as can be seen from the "top" sync mode code path. "top" basically states that the device should indeed have a backing file - however, the current code catches the case if it doesn't and then simply treats it as "full" sync mode, creating a target image without a backing file (in "absolute-paths" mode). Thus, "absolute-paths" does not imply the target file must indeed have a backing file. Therefore, the target file may be left unbacked in case of "none" sync mode as well, if the specified device is not backed either. Currently, qemu will crash trying to dereference the backing file pointer since it assumes that it will always be non-NULL in that case ("none" with "absolute-paths").
