2015-09-04qcow2: add option to clean unused cache entries after some timeAlberto Garcia
This adds a new 'cache-clean-interval' option that cleans all qcow2 cache entries that haven't been used in a certain interval, given in seconds. This allows setting a large L2 cache size so it can handle scenarios with lots of I/O and at the same time use little memory during periods of inactivity. This feature currently relies on MADV_DONTNEED to free that memory, so it is not useful in systems that don't follow that behavior.

2015-07-02qapi: Rename 'dirty-bitmap' mode to 'incremental'John Snow
If we wish to make differential backups a feature that's easy to access, it might be pertinent to rename the "dirty-bitmap" mode to "incremental" to make it clear what /type/ of backup the dirty-bitmap is helping us perform. This is an API breaking change, but 2.4 has not yet gone live, so we have this flexibility.

2015-05-29qapi: add dirty bitmap statusJohn Snow
Bitmaps can be in a handful of different states with potentially more to come as we tool around with migration and persistence patches. Management applications may need to know why certain bitmaps are unavailable for various commands, e.g. busy in another operation, busy being migrated, etc. Right now, all we offer is BlockDirtyInfo's boolean member 'frozen'. Instead of adding more booleans, replace it by an enumeration member 'status' with values 'active' and 'frozen'. Then add new value 'disabled'. Incompatible change. Fine because the changed part hasn't been released so far.

2015-05-05qapi: Use 'struct' instead of 'type' in schemaEric 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. Do the bulk of the conversion to "struct" in qapi schema, with a fairly mechanical: for f in `find -name '*.json'; do sed -i "s/'type'/'struct'/"; done followed by manually filtering out the places where we have a 'type' embedded in 'data'. Then tweak a couple of tests whose output changes slightly due to longer lines. I also verified that the generated files for QMP and QGA (such as qmp-commands.h) are the same before and after, as assurance that I didn't leave in any accidental member name changes.

2015-04-28block: Add bitmap successorsJohn Snow
A bitmap successor is an anonymous BdrvDirtyBitmap that is intended to be created just prior to a sensitive operation (e.g. Incremental Backup) that can either succeed or fail, but during the course of which we still want a bitmap tracking writes. On creating a successor, we "freeze" the parent bitmap which prevents its deletion, enabling, anonymization, or creating a bitmap with the same name. On success, the parent bitmap can "abdicate" responsibility to the successor, which will inherit its name. The successor will have been tracking writes during the course of the backup operation. The parent will be safely deleted. On failure, we can "reclaim" the successor from the parent, unifying them such that the resulting bitmap describes all writes occurring since the last successful backup, for instance. Reclamation will thaw the parent, but not explicitly re-enable it. BdrvDirtyBitmap operations that target a single bitmap are protected by assertions that the bitmap is not frozen and/or disabled. BdrvDirtyBitmap operations that target a group of bitmaps, such as bdrv_{set,reset}_dirty will ignore frozen/disabled drives with a conditional instead. Internal functions that enable/disable dirty bitmaps have assertions added to them to prevent modifying frozen bitmaps.

The new command pair is added to manage a user created dirty bitmap. The dirty bitmap's name is mandatory and must be unique for the same device, but different devices can have bitmaps with the same names. The granularity is an optional field. If it is not specified, we will choose a default granularity based on the cluster size if available, clamped to between 4K and 64K to mirror how the 'mirror' code was already choosing granularity. If we do not have cluster size info available, we choose 64K. This code has been factored out into a helper shared with block/mirror. This patch also introduces the 'block_dirty_bitmap_lookup' helper, which takes a device name and a dirty bitmap name and validates the lookup, returning NULL and setting errp if there is a problem with either field.

2015-02-06block: add event when disk usage exceeds thresholdFrancesco Romani
Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive use of thin-provisioned disk images. To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold is reached or exceeded. In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command. This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale: deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare. To fix this, this patch adds: * A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for a given block device. * A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device usage exceeds the threshold. * A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure, to report the configured threshold. This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.

2014-09-22block: delete cow block driverStefan Hajnoczi
This patch removes support for the cow file format. Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there is no impact and it is the most logical option. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block driver is the right thing to do. The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way of running a Linux system in userspace. The performance of UML was never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before hardware virtualization support became mainstream. QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format. Unfortunately the file format was underspecified: 1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing filename field. The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal. 2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures. In particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment differences. Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not. Therefore: 1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format. 2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures. This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports from users actually hitting these issues. Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be affected.

2014-09-22block: Introduce "null" driversFam Zheng
This is an analogue to Linux null_blk. It can be used for testing or benchmarking block device emulation and general block layer functionalities such as coroutines and throttling, where disk IO is not necessary or wanted. Use null-aio:// for AIO version, and null-co:// for coroutine version. [Resolved conflict with Fam's async bdrv_aio_cancel() series: 1. Drop .bdrv_aio_cancel() since it is now done by block.c 2.

2014-09-11block: extend BLOCK_IO_ERROR with reason stringLuiz Capitulino
BLOCK_IO_ERROR events are logged by libvirt, which helps with post mortem analysis of guests. However, one information that we miss today is a human readable string describing the cause of the I/O error. This commit adds that string it to BLOCK_IO_ERROR. Note that this string is a debugging aid for humans, meaning that it should not parsed by applications.

2014-09-10block: extend BLOCK_IO_ERROR event with nospace indicatorLuiz Capitulino
Management software, such as RHEV's vdsm, want to be able to allocate disk space on demand. The basic use case is to start a VM with a small disk and then the disk is enlarged when QEMU hits a ENOSPC condition. To this end, the management software has to be notified when QEMU encounters ENOSPC. The solution implemented by this commit is simple: it extends the BLOCK_IO_ERROR with a 'nospace' key, which is true when QEMU is stopped due to ENOSPC. Note that support for querying this event is already present in query-block by means of the 'io-status' key. Also, the new 'nospace' BLOCK_IO_ERROR field shares the same semantics with 'io-status', which basically means that werror= has to be set to either 'stop' or 'enospc' to enable 'nospace'. Finally, this commit also updates the 'io-status' key doc in the schema with a list of supported device models.

2014-07-01block: add backing-file option to block-streamJeff Cody
On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image after a block job. For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???), or a relative protocol pathname may have been used. In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does have that knowledge. With this extension to the block-stream api, the user is able to change the backing file of the active layer as part of the block-stream operation. This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt to write the active image metadata fails, then the block-stream operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest. If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was previously.
