2019-01-04nbd: Document timeline of various featuresEric Blake
It can be useful to figure out which NBD protocol features are exposed by a server, as well as what features a client will take advantage of if available, for a given qemu release. It's not always precise to base features on version numbers (thanks to downstream backports), but any documentation is better than making users search through git logs themselves. This patch originally stemmed from a request to document that pristine 3.0 has a known bug where NBD_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT with 0 queries forgot to advertise an available "qemu:dirty-bitmap" context, but documenting bugs like this (or the fact that 3.0 also botched NBD_CMD_CACHE) gets to be too much details, especially since buggy releases will be less likely connection targets over time. Instead, I chose to just remind users to check stable release branches.

2018-12-12monitor: Suspend monitor instead dropping commandsPeter Xu
When a QMP client sends in-band commands more quickly that we can process them, we can either queue them without limit (QUEUE), drop commands when the queue is full (DROP), or suspend receiving commands when the queue is full (SUSPEND). None of them is ideal: * QUEUE lets a misbehaving client make QEMU eat memory without bounds. Not such a hot idea. * With DROP, the client has to cope with dropped in-band commands. To inform the client, we send a COMMAND_DROPPED event then. The event is flawed by design in two ways: it's ambiguous (see commit d621cfe0a17), and it brings back the "eat memory without bounds" problem. * With SUSPEND, the client has to manage the flow of in-band commands to keep the monitor available for out-of-band commands. We currently DROP. Switch to SUSPEND. Managing the flow of in-band commands to keep the monitor available for out-of-band commands isn't really hard: just count the number of "outstanding" in-band commands (commands sent minus replies received), and if it exceeds the limit, hold back additional ones until it drops below the limit again. Note that we need to be careful pairing the suspend with a resume, or else the monitor will hang, possibly forever. And here since we need to make sure both: (1) popping request from the req queue, and (2) reading length of the req queue will be in the same critical section, we let the pop function take the corresponding queue lock when there is a request, then we release the lock from the caller.

2018-11-19qcow2: Document some maximum size constraintsEric Blake
Although off_t permits up to 63 bits (8EB) of file offsets, in practice, we're going to hit other limits first. Document some of those limits in the qcow2 spec (some are inherent, others are implementation choices of qemu), and how choice of cluster size can influence some of the limits. While we cannot map any uncompressed virtual cluster to any address higher than 64 PB (56 bits) (due to the current L1/L2 field encoding stopping at bit 55), qemu's cap of 8M for the refcount table can still access larger host addresses for some combinations of large clusters and small refcount_order. For comparison, ext4 with 4k blocks caps files at 16PB. Another interesting limit: for compressed clusters, the L2 layout requires an ever-smaller maximum host offset as cluster size gets larger, down to a 512 TB maximum with 2M clusters. In particular, note that with a cluster size of 8k or smaller, the L2 entry for a compressed cluster could technically point beyond the 64PB mark, but when you consider that with 8k clusters and refcount_order = 0, you cannot access beyond 512T without exceeding qemu's limit of an 8M cap on the refcount table, it is unlikely that any image in the wild has attempted to do so. To be safe, let's document that bits beyond 55 in a compressed cluster must be 0. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2018-10-01qcow2: Increase the default upper limit on the L2 cache sizeLeonid Bloch
The upper limit on the L2 cache size is increased from 1 MB to 32 MB on Linux platforms, and to 8 MB on other platforms (this difference is caused by the ability to set intervals for cache cleaning on Linux platforms only). This is done in order to allow default full coverage with the L2 cache for images of up to 256 GB in size (was 8 GB). Note, that only the needed amount to cover the full image is allocated. The value which is changed here is just the upper limit on the L2 cache size, beyond which it will not grow, even if the size of the image will require it to.

2018-10-01qcow2: Assign the L2 cache relatively to the image sizeLeonid Bloch
Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using large images with frequent I/O. Previously, unless 'cache-size' was specified and was large enough, the L2 cache was set to a certain size without taking the virtual image size into account. Now, the L2 cache assignment is aware of the virtual size of the image, and will cover the entire image, unless the cache size needed for that is larger than a certain maximum. This maximum is set to 1 MB by default (enough to cover an 8 GB image with the default cluster size) but can be increased or decreased using the 'l2-cache-size' option. This option was previously documented as the *maximum* L2 cache size, and this patch makes it behave as such, instead of as a constant size. Also, the existing option 'cache-size' can limit the sum of both L2 and refcount caches, as previously.

This patch adds edid support to the qemu stdvga. It is turned off by default and can be enabled with the new edid property. The patch also adds xres and yres properties to specify the video mode you want the guest use. Works only with edid enabled and updated guest driver. The mmio bar of the stdvga has some unused address space at the start. It was reserved just in case it'll be needed for virtio, but it turned out to not be needed for that. So let's use that region to place the EDID data block there. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Message-id: 20180925075646.25114-6-kraxel@redhat.com

2018-08-28qapi: Add comments to aid debugging generated introspectionEric Blake
We consciously chose in commit 1a9a507b to hide QAPI type names from the introspection output on the wire, but added a command line option -u to unmask the type name when doing a debug build. The unmask option still remains useful to some other forms of automated analysis, so it will not be removed; however, when it is not in use, the generated .c file can be hard to read. At the time when we first introduced masking, the generated file consisted only of a monolithic C string, so there was no clean way to inject any comments. Later, in commit 7d0f982b, we switched the generation to output a QLit object, in part to make it easier for future addition of conditional compilation. In fact, commit d626b6c1 took advantage of this by passing a tuple instead of a bare object for encoding the output of conditionals. By extending that tuple, we can now interject strategic comments. For now, type name debug aid comments are only output once per meta-type, rather than at all uses of the number used to encode the type within the introspection data. But this is still a lot more convenient than having to regenerate the file with the unmask operation temporarily turned on - merely search the generated file for '"NNN" =' to learn the corresponding source name and associated definition of type NNN. The generated qapi-introspect.c changes only with the addition of comments, such as: | @@ -14755,6 +15240,7 @@ | { "name", QLIT_QSTR("[485]"), }, | {} | })), | + /* "485" = QCryptoBlockInfoLUKSSlot */ | QLIT_QDICT(((QLitDictEntry[]) { | { "members", QLIT_QLIST(((QLitObject[]) { | QLIT_QDICT(((QLitDictEntry[]) { Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20180827213943.33524-3-eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> [Rebased, update to qapi-code-gen.txt corrected] Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

The generated qapi_event_send_FOO() take an Error ** argument. They can't actually fail, because all they do with the argument is passing it to functions that can't fail: the QObject output visitor, and the @qmp_emit callback, which is either monitor_qapi_event_queue() or event_test_emit().

2018-08-24docs/interop/qmp-spec: How to force known good parser stateMarkus Armbruster
Section "QGA Synchronization" specifies that sending "a raw 0xFF sentinel byte" makes the server "reset its state and discard all pending data prior to the sentinel." What actually happens there is a lexical error, which will produce one or more error responses. Moreover, it's not specific to QGA. Create new section "Forcing the JSON parser into known-good state" to document the technique properly. Rewrite section "QGA Synchronization" to document just the other direction, i.e. command guest-sync-delimited. Section "Protocol Specification" mentions "synchronization bytes (documented below)". Delete that. While there, fix it not to claim '"Server" is QEMU itself', but '"Server" is either QEMU or the QEMU Guest Agent'.
