2014-01-24block: update block commit documentation regarding image truncationJeff Cody
This updates the documentation for commiting snapshot images. Specifically, this highlights what happens when the base image is either smaller or larger than the snapshot image being committed. In the case of the base image being smaller, it is resized to the larger size of the snapshot image. In the case of the base image being larger, it is not resized automatically, but once the commit has completed it is safe for the user to truncate the base image.

2014-01-24qmp: Allow to change password on named block driver states.Benoît Canet
Signed-off-by: Benoit Canet <benoit@irqsave.net> Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation: 1) { 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str', '*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'} } 2) { 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str', '*device-is-node': 'bool', 'password': 'str'} } Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0. Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic. Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device" and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name. Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user. Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make sense. Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear the current one. Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet. A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won. For reference the complete thread is: "[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V4 4/7] qmp: Allow to change password on names block driver states."

2013-08-30s390: wire up nmi command to raise a RESTART interrupt on S390Eugene (jno) Dvurechenski
There is the 'nmi' command that is used to trigger a guest dump via kdump feature on x86. s390 uses RESTART interrupt to trigger kdump. So, this patch provides a mean to use 'nmi' command on s390 to raise RESTART interrupt. The CPU to receive the RESTART interrupt is the "default" one. There is an infrastructure to select the "default" CPU using 'cpu' command. The 'info cpus' command can be used to see which one is the "default". In order to wire up the RESTART to 'nmi' command we had to: 1. implement the kvm_s390_cpu_restart function by exporting the existing code 2. implement s390_cpu_restart function as kvm-aware wrapper 3. modify the qmp_inject_nmi function to enable (for s390) the scan for "default" CPU and call s390_cpu_restart for it; 3. fix some messages.

2013-07-26Implement sync modes for drive-backup.Ian Main
This patch adds sync-modes to the drive-backup interface and implements the FULL, NONE and TOP modes of synchronization. FULL performs as before copying the entire contents of the drive while preserving the point-in-time using CoW. NONE only copies new writes to the target drive. TOP copies changes to the topmost drive image and preserves the point-in-time using CoW. For sync mode TOP are creating a new target image using the same backing file as the original disk image. Then any new data that has been laid on top of it since creation is copied in the main backup_run() loop. There is an extra check in the 'TOP' case so that we don't bother to copy all the data of the backing file as it already exists in the target. This is where the bdrv_co_is_allocated() is used to determine if the data exists in the topmost layer or below. Also any new data being written is intercepted via the write_notifier hook which ends up calling backup_do_cow() to copy old data out before it gets overwritten. For mode 'NONE' we create the new target image and only copy in the original data from the disk image starting from the time the call was made. This preserves the point in time data by only copying the parts that are *going to change* to the target image. This way we can reconstruct the final image by checking to see if the given block exists in the new target image first, and if it does not, you can get it from the original image. This is basically an optimization allowing you to do point-in-time snapshots with low overhead vs the 'FULL' version. Since there is no old data to copy out the loop in backup_run() for the NONE case just calls qemu_coroutine_yield() which only wakes up after an event (usually cancel in this case). The rest is handled by the before_write notifier which again calls backup_do_cow() to write out the old data so it can be preserved.

2013-07-15net: add support of mac-programming over macvtap in QEMU sideAmos Kong
Currently macvtap based macvlan device is working in promiscuous mode, we want to implement mac-programming over macvtap through Libvirt for better performance. Design: QEMU notifies Libvirt when rx-filter config is changed in guest, then Libvirt query the rx-filter information by a monitor command, and sync the change to macvtap device. Related rx-filter config of the nic contains main mac, rx-mode items and vlan table. This patch adds a QMP event to notify management of rx-filter change, and adds a monitor command for management to query rx-filter information. Test: If we repeatedly add/remove vlan, and change macaddr of vlan interfaces in guest by a loop script. Result: The events will flood the QMP client(management), management takes too much resource to process the events. Event_throttle API (set rate to 1 ms) can avoid the events to flood QMP client, but it could cause an unexpected delay (~1ms), guests guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately. So we use a flag for each nic to avoid events flooding, the event is emitted once until the query command is executed. The flag implementation could not introduce unexpected delay. There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay if we let Libvirt do the real change, guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately. But it's another separate issue, we can investigate it when the work in Libvirt side is done. Michael S. Tsirkin: tweaked to enable events on start Michael S.

2013-07-15blockdev: add sync mode to drive-backup QMP commandStefan Hajnoczi
The drive-backup command is similar to the drive-mirror command, except no guest data written after the command executes gets copied. Add a sync mode argument which determines whether the entire disk is copied, just allocated clusters, or only clusters being written to by the guest. Currently only sync mode 'full' is supported - it copies the entire disk. For read-only point-in-time snapshots we may only need sync mode 'none' since the target can be a qcow2 file using the guest's disk as its backing file (no need to copy the entire disk). Finally, sync mode 'top' is useful if we wish to preserve the backing chain. Note that this patch just adds the sync mode argument to drive-backup. It does not implement sync modes 'top' or 'none'. This patch is necessary so we can add a drive-backup HMP command that behaves like the existing drive-mirror HMP command and takes a sync mode.

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.

2013-01-25mirror: add buf-size argument to drive-mirrorPaolo Bonzini
This makes sense when the next commit starts using the extra buffer space to perform many I/O operations asynchronously. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2013-01-25mirror: allow customizing the granularityPaolo Bonzini
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.

2013-01-25balloon: drop old stats code & APILuiz Capitulino
Next commit will re-enable balloon stats with a different interface, but this old code conflicts with it. Let's drop it. It's important to note that the QMP and HMP interfaces are also dropped by this commit. That shouldn't be a problem though, because: 1. All QMP fields are optional 2. This feature has always been disabled Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
