2015-09-04docs: document how to configure the qcow2 L2/refcount cachesAlberto Garcia
QEMU has options to configure the size of the L2 and refcount caches for the qcow2 format. However, choosing the right sizes for a particular disk image is not a straightforward operation since the ratio between the cache size and the allocated disk space is not obvious and depends on the size of the cluster and the refcount entries. This document attempts to give an overview of both caches and how to configure their sizes.

2015-07-22AioContext: optimize clearing the EventNotifierPaolo Bonzini
It is pretty rare for aio_notify to actually set the EventNotifier. It can happen with worker threads such as thread-pool.c's, but otherwise it should never be set thanks to the ctx->notify_me optimization. The previous patch, unfortunately, added an unconditional call to event_notifier_test_and_clear; now add a userspace fast path that avoids the call. Note that it is not possible to do the same with event_notifier_set; it would break, as proved (again) by the included formal model. This patch survived over 3000 reboots on aarch64 KVM.

2015-07-22AioContext: fix broken placement of event_notifier_test_and_clearPaolo Bonzini
event_notifier_test_and_clear must be called before processing events. Otherwise, an aio_poll could "eat" the notification before the main I/O thread invokes ppoll(). The main I/O thread then never wakes up. This is an example of what could happen: i/o thread vcpu thread worker thread --------------------------------------------------------------------- lock_iothread notify_me = 1 ... unlock_iothread bh->scheduled = 1 event_notifier_set lock_iothread notify_me = 3 ppoll notify_me = 1 aio_dispatch aio_bh_poll thread_pool_completion_bh bh->scheduled = 1 event_notifier_set node->io_read(node->opaque) event_notifier_test_and_clear ppoll *** hang *** "Tracing" with qemu_clock_get_ns shows pretty much the same behavior as in the previous bug, so there are no new tricks here---just stare more at the code until it is apparent. One could also use a formal model, of course. The included one shows this with three processes: notifier corresponds to a QEMU thread pool worker, temporary_waiter to a VCPU thread that invokes aio_poll(), waiter to the main I/O thread. I would be happy to say that the formal model found the bug for me, but actually I wrote it after the fact. This patch is a bit of a big hammer. The next one optimizes it, with help (this time for real rather than a posteriori :)) from another, similar formal model. Reported-by: Richard W. M.

2015-07-22AioContext: fix broken ctx->dispatching optimizationPaolo Bonzini
This patch rewrites the ctx->dispatching optimization, which was the cause of some mysterious hangs that could be reproduced on aarch64 KVM only. The hangs were indirectly caused by aio_poll() and in particular by flash memory updates's call to blk_write(), which invokes aio_poll(). Fun stuff: they had an extremely short race window, so much that adding all kind of tracing to either the kernel or QEMU made it go away (a single printf made it half as reproducible). On the plus side, the failure mode (a hang until the next keypress) made it very easy to examine the state of the process with a debugger. And there was a very nice reproducer from Laszlo, which failed pretty often (more than half of the time) on any version of QEMU with a non-debug kernel; it also failed fast, while still in the firmware. So, it could have been worse. For some unknown reason they happened only with virtio-scsi, but that's not important. It's more interesting that they disappeared with io=native, making thread-pool.c a likely suspect for where the bug arose. thread-pool.c is also one of the few places which use bottom halves across threads, by the way. I hope that no other similar bugs exist, but just in case :) I am going to describe how the successful debugging went... Since the likely culprit was the ctx->dispatching optimization, which mostly affects bottom halves, the first observation was that there are two qemu_bh_schedule() invocations in the thread pool: the one in the aio worker and the one in thread_pool_completion_bh. The latter always causes the optimization to trigger, the former may or may not. In order to restrict the possibilities, I introduced new functions qemu_bh_schedule_slow() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast(): /* qemu_bh_schedule_slow: */ ctx = bh->ctx; bh->idle = 0; if (atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1) == 0) { event_notifier_set(&ctx->notifier); } /* qemu_bh_schedule_fast: */ ctx = bh->ctx; bh->idle = 0; assert(ctx->dispatching); atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1); Notice how the atomic_xchg is still in qemu_bh_schedule_slow(). This was already debated a few months ago, so I assumed it to be correct. In retrospect this was a very good idea, as you'll see later. Changing thread_pool_completion_bh() to qemu_bh_schedule_fast() didn't trigger the assertion (as expected). Changing the worker's invocation to qemu_bh_schedule_slow() didn't hide the bug (another assumption which luckily held). This already limited heavily the amount of interaction between the threads, hinting that the problematic events must have triggered around thread_pool_completion_bh(). As mentioned early, invoking a debugger to examine the state of a hung process was pretty easy; the iothread was always waiting on a poll(..., -1) system call. Infinite timeouts are much rarer on x86, and this could be the reason why the bug was never observed there. With the buggy sequence more or less resolved to an interaction between thread_pool_completion_bh() and poll(..., -1), my "tracing" strategy was to just add a few qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME) calls, hoping that the ordering of aio_ctx_prepare(), aio_ctx_dispatch, poll() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast() would provide some hint. The output was: (gdb) p last_prepare $3 = 103885451 (gdb) p last_dispatch $4 = 103876492 (gdb) p last_poll $5 = 115909333 (gdb) p last_schedule $6 = 115925212 Notice how the last call to qemu_poll_ns() came after aio_ctx_dispatch(). This makes little sense unless there is an aio_poll() call involved, and indeed with a slightly different instrumentation you can see that there is one: (gdb) p last_prepare $3 = 107569679 (gdb) p last_dispatch $4 = 107561600 (gdb) p last_aio_poll $5 = 110671400 (gdb) p last_schedule $6 = 110698917 So the scenario becomes clearer: iothread VCPU thread -------------------------------------------------------------------------- aio_ctx_prepare aio_ctx_check qemu_poll_ns(timeout=-1) aio_poll aio_dispatch thread_pool_completion_bh qemu_bh_schedule() At this point bh->scheduled = 1 and the iothread has not been woken up. The solution must be close, but this alone should not be a problem, because the bottom half is only rescheduled to account for rare situations (see commit 3c80ca1, thread-pool: avoid deadlock in nested aio_poll() calls, 2014-07-15). Introducing a third thread---a thread pool worker thread, which also does qemu_bh_schedule()---does bring out the problematic case. The third thread must be awakened *after* the callback is complete and thread_pool_completion_bh has redone the whole loop, explaining the short race window. And then this is what happens: thread pool worker -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <I/O completes> qemu_bh_schedule() Tada, bh->scheduled is already 1, so qemu_bh_schedule() does nothing and the iothread is never woken up. This is where the bh->scheduled optimization comes into play---it is correct, but removing it would have masked the bug. So, what is the bug? Well, the question asked by the ctx->dispatching optimization ("is any active aio_poll dispatching?") was wrong. The right question to ask instead is "is any active aio_poll *not* dispatching", i.e. in the prepare or poll phases? In that case, the aio_poll is sleeping or might go to sleep anytime soon, and the EventNotifier must be invoked to wake it up. In any other case (including if there is *no* active aio_poll at all!) we can just wait for the next prepare phase to pick up the event (e.g. a bottom half); the prepare phase will avoid the blocking and service the bottom half. Expressing the invariant with a logic formula, the broken one looked like: !(exists(thread): in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize or equivalently: !(exists(thread): in_aio_poll(thread) && in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize In the correct one, the negation is in a slightly different place: (exists(thread): in_aio_poll(thread) && !in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize or equivalently: (exists(thread): in_prepare_or_poll(thread)) => !optimize Even if the difference boils down to moving an exclamation mark :) the implementation is quite different. However, I think the new one is simpler to understand. In the old implementation, the "exists" was implemented with a boolean value. This didn't really support well the case of multiple concurrent event loops, but I thought that this was okay: aio_poll holds the AioContext lock so there cannot be concurrent aio_poll invocations, and I was just considering nested event loops. However, aio_poll _could_ indeed be concurrent with the GSource. This is why I came up with the wrong invariant. In the new implementation, "exists" is computed simply by counting how many threads are in the prepare or poll phases. There are some interesting points to consider, but the gist of the idea remains: 1) AioContext can be used through GSource as well; as mentioned in the patch, bit 0 of the counter is reserved for the GSource. 2) the counter need not be updated for a non-blocking aio_poll, because it won't sleep forever anyway. This is just a matter of checking the "blocking" variable. This requires some changes to the win32 implementation, but is otherwise not too complicated. 3) as mentioned above, the new implementation will not call aio_notify when there is *no* active aio_poll at all. The tests have to be adjusted for this change. The calls to aio_notify in async.c are fine; they only want to kick aio_poll out of a blocking wait, but need not do anything if aio_poll is not running. 4) nested aio_poll: these just work with the new implementation; when a nested event loop is invoked, the outer event loop is never in the prepare or poll phases. The outer event loop thus has already decremented the counter. Reported-by: Richard W. M.

2015-05-05qapi: Document 'struct' metatypeEric Blake
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union, alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. Now that the generator accepts 'struct' as a synonym for 'type', update all documentation to use saner wording.

2015-05-05qapi: Document new 'alternate' meta-typeEric Blake
The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo', 'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'". Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus on wording without holding up code. In particular, making alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy: /-------- meta-type ------\ / | \ simple types alternate complex types | | | | built-in enum type(struct) union | \ / / \ numeric string simple flat A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct' confusion.

2015-05-05qapi: Add copyright declaration on docsEric Blake
While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these days it's better to be a good example of calling out our intentions. Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by attributing these files to the initial authors and major contributors. I used: $ git blame --line-porcelain $file \ | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn to determine authorship of these two files. qmp-spec.txt blames entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors representing multiple entities. But since it was originally supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the notice he has used in other files. As there is no intended change in license from the implicit one previously present from the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors; if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL) so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.
