2013-03-26migration: do not sent zero pages in bulk stagePeter Lieven
during bulk stage of ram migration if a page is a zero page do not send it at all. the memory at the destination reads as zero anyway. even if there is an madvise with QEMU_MADV_DONTNEED at the target upon receipt of a zero page I have observed that the target starts swapping if the memory is overcommitted. it seems that the pages are dropped asynchronously. this patch also updates QMP to return the number of skipped pages in MigrationStats.

2013-03-12Support for TPM command line optionsStefan Berger
This patch adds support for TPM command line options. The command line options supported here are ./qemu-... -tpmdev passthrough,path=<path to TPM device>,id=<id> -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=<id>,id=<other id> and ./qemu-... -tpmdev help where the latter works similar to -soundhw help and shows a list of available TPM backends (for example 'passthrough'). Using the type parameter, the backend is chosen, i.e., 'passthrough' for the passthrough driver. The interpretation of the other parameters along with determining whether enough parameters were provided is pushed into the backend driver, which needs to implement the interface function 'create' and return a TPMDriverOpts structure if the VM can be started or 'NULL' if not enough or bad parameters were provided. Monitor support for 'info tpm' has been added. It for example prints the following: (qemu) info tpm TPM devices: tpm0: model=tpm-tis \ tpm0: type=passthrough,path=/dev/tpm0,cancel-path=/sys/devices/pnp0/00:09/cancel Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Corey Bryant <coreyb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Schopp <jschopp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Message-id: 1361987275-26289-2-git-send-email-stefanb@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2013-02-06qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff & doc fixesMarkus Armbruster
New device, has never been released, so we can still improve things without worrying about compatibility. Naming is a mess. The code calls the device driver CirMemCharDriver, the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev", or "memchar", and the special commands are named like "memchar-FOO". "memory" is a particularly unfortunate choice, because there's another character device driver called MemoryDriver. Moreover, the device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory. Therefore: * Rename CirMemCharDriver to RingBufCharDriver, and call the thing a "ringbuf" in the API. * Rename QMP and HMP commands from memchar-FOO to ringbuf-FOO. * Rename device parameter from maxcapacity to size (simple words are good for you). * Clearly mark the parameter as optional in documentation. * Fix error reporting so that chardev-add reports to current monitor, not stderr. * Replace cirmem in C identifiers by ringbuf. * Rework documentation. Document the impact of our crappy UTF-8 handling on reading. * QMP examples that even work. I could split this up into multiple commits, but they'd change the same documentation lines multiple times.

Command memchar-write takes data and size parameter. Begs the question what happens when data doesn't match size. With format base64, qmp_memchar_write() copies the full data argument, regardless of size argument. With format utf8, qmp_memchar_write() copies size bytes from data, happily reading beyond data. Copies crap from the heap or even crashes. Drop the size parameter, and always copy the full data argument.

2013-02-01tap: multiqueue supportJason Wang
Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through TUNSETQUEUE. The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file descriptors could also be passed in this way. Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState were built up. A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue tap fds. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

The desired granularity may be very different depending on the kind of operation (e.g. continuous replication vs. collapse-to-raw) and whether the VM is expected to perform lots of I/O while mirroring is in progress. Allow the user to customize it, while providing a sane default so that in general there will be no extra allocated space in the target compared to the source.

2013-01-16chardev: add socket chardev support to chardev-add (qmp)Gerd Hoffmann
qemu_chr_open_socket is split into two functions. All initialization after creating the socket file handler is split away into the new qemu_chr_open_socket_fd function. chr->filename doesn't get filled from QemuOpts any more. Qemu gathers the information using getsockname and getnameinfo instead. This way it will also work correctly for file handles passed via file descriptor passing. Finally qmp_chardev_open_socket() is the actual qmp hotplug implementation which basically just calls socket_listen or socket_connect and the new qemu_chr_open_socket_fd function.

2012-10-24qmp: handle stop/cont in INMIGRATE statePaolo Bonzini
Right now, stop followed by an incoming migration will let the virtual machine start. cont before an incoming migration instead will fail. This is bad because the actual behavior is not predictable; it is racy with respect to the start of the incoming migration. That's because incoming migration is blocking, and thus will delay the processing of stop/cont until the end of the migration. In addition, there's nothing that really prevents the user from typing the block device's passwords before incoming migration is done, so returning the DeviceEncrypted error is also helpful in the QMP case. Both things can be fixed by just toggling the autostart variable when stop/cont are called in INMIGRATE state. Note that libvirt is currently working around the race by looping if the MigrationExpected answer is returned. After this patch, the command will return right away without ever raising an error.

2012-10-24mirror: add support for on-source-error/on-target-errorPaolo Bonzini
Error management is important for mirroring; otherwise, an error on the target (even something as "innocent" as ENOSPC) requires to start again with a full copy. Similar to on_read_error/on_write_error, two separate knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes). The default is 'report' for both. The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be retried later. Thus, it will not cause corruption.

2012-10-24mirror: introduce mirror jobPaolo Bonzini
This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image. The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the source to the target in the background. This can be used for several purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and observation of the guest I/O in an external program. It is also a first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is part of QEMU. The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy of the source data. The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs" reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file. When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report successful completion of the job. In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with a past state of the source. (Note that it could already happen that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion event instead of cancellation). It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target disk. The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the basic idea introduced here. These include improved error management, some tunable knobs and performance optimizations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2012-10-24block: introduce BLOCK_JOB_READY eventPaolo Bonzini
Even for jobs that need to be manually completed, management may want to take care itself of the completion, not requiring the user to issue a command to terminate the job. In this case we want to avoid that they poll us continuously, waiting for completion to become available. Thus, add a new event that signals the phase switch and the availability of the block-job-complete command.

2012-10-24block: add block-job-completePaolo Bonzini
While streaming can be dropped as soon as it progressed through the whole image, mirroring needs to be completed manually for two reasons: 1) so that management knows exactly when the VM switches to the target; 2) because for other use cases such as replication, we may leave the operation running for the whole life of the virtual machine.
