2014-06-23block: asynchronously stop the VM on I/O errorsPaolo Bonzini
With virtio-blk dataplane, I/O errors might occur while QEMU is not in the main I/O thread. However, it's invalid to call vm_stop when we're neither in a VCPU thread nor in the main I/O thread, even if we were to take the iothread mutex around it. To avoid this problem, we can raise a request to the main I/O thread, similar to what QEMU does when vm_stop is called from a CPU thread. We know that bdrv_error_action is called from an AIO callback, and the moment at which the callback will fire is not well-defined; it depends on the moment at which the disk or OS finishes the operation, which can happen at any time. Note that QEMU is certainly not in a CPU thread and we do not need to call cpu_stop_current() like vm_stop() does. However, we need to ensure that any action taken by management will result in correct detection of the error _and_ a running VM. In particular: - the event must be raised after the iostatus has been set, so that "info block" will return an iostatus that matches the event. - the VM must be stopped after the iostatus has been set, so that "info block" will return an iostatus that matches the runstate. The ordering between the STOP and BLOCK_IO_ERROR events is preserved; BLOCK_IO_ERROR is documented to come first. This makes bdrv_error_action() thread safe (assuming QMP events are, which is attacked by a separate series).

2014-02-21quorum: Add quorum mechanism.Benoît Canet
This patchset enables the core of the quorum mechanism. The num_children reads are compared to get the majority version and if this version exists more than threshold times the guest won't see the error at all. If a block is corrupted or if an error occurs during an IO or if the quorum cannot be established QMP events are used to report to the management. Use gnutls's SHA-256 to compare versions. --enable-quorum must be used to enable the feature.
