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. [Updated qemu-iotests 067 output to add the new 'write_threshold' property. --Stefan] [Changed g_assert_false() to !g_assert() to fix the build on older glib versions. --Kevin] Signed-off-by: Francesco Romani <fromani@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-id: 1421068273-692-1-git-send-email-fromani@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

Add new query vnc qmp command, for the lack of better ideas just name it "query-vnc-servers". Changes over query-vnc: * It returns a list of vnc servers, so multiple vnc server instances are covered. * Each vnc server returns a list of server sockets. Followup patch will use that to also report websockets. In case we add support for multiple server sockets server sockets (to better support ipv4+ipv6 dualstack) we can add them to the list too.

2014-11-13QMP/input-send-event: make console parameter optionalAmos Kong
The 'QemuConsole' is the input source for handler, we share some input handlers to process the input events from different QemuConsole. Normally we only have one set of keyboard, mouse, usbtablet, etc. The devices have different mask, it's fine to just checking mask to insure that the handler has the ability to process the event. I saw we try to bind console to handler in usb/dev-hid.c, but display always isn't available at that time. If we have multiseat setup (as Gerd said), we only have 'problem' in this case. Actually event from different devices have the same effect for system, it's fine to always use the first available handler without caring about the console. For send-key command, we just pass a NULL for console parameter in calling qemu_input_event_send_key(NULL, ..), but 'input-send-event' needs to care more devices. Conclusion: Generally assigning the special console is meanless, and we can't directly remove the QMP parameter for compatibility. So we can make the parameter optional. The parameter might be useful for some special condition: we have multiple devices without binding console and they all have the ability(mask) to process events, and we don't want to use the first one.

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.

2014-08-25cpus: Define callback for QEMU "nmi" commandAlexey Kardashevskiy
This introduces an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) interface with a single nmi_monitor_handler() method. A machine or a device can implement it. This searches for an QOM object with this interface and if it is implemented, calls it. The callback implements an action required to cause debug crash dump on in-kernel debugger invocation. The callback returns Error**. This adds a nmi_monitor_handle() helper which walks through all objects to find the interface. The interface method is called for all found instances. This adds support for it in qmp_inject_nmi(). Since no architecture supports it at the moment, there is no change in behaviour. This changes inject-nmi command description for HMP and QMP.

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.

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 commit. 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-commit api, the user is able to change the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit operation. This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest. If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image to modify in that case). 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.

2014-07-01block: add QAPI command to allow live backing file changeJeff Cody
This allows a user to make a live change to the backing file recorded in an open image. The image file to modify can be specified 2 ways: 1) image filename 2) image node-name Note: this does not cause the backing file itself to be reopened; it merely changes the backing filename in the image file structure, and in internal BDS structures. It is the responsibility of the user to pass a filename string that can be resolved when the image chain is reopened, and the filename string is not validated. A good analogy for this command is that it is a live version of 'qemu-img rebase -u', with respect to changing the backing file string. [Jeff is offline so I respun this patch in his absence.

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."

2014-01-06monitor: add object-add (QMP) and object_add (HMP) commandPaolo Bonzini
Add two commands that are the monitor counterparts of -object. The commands have the same Visitor-based implementation, but use different kinds of visitors so that the HMP command has a DWIM string-based syntax, while the QMP variant accepts a stricter JSON-based properties dictionary.

2013-09-12qmp: add interface blockdev-snapshot-delete-internal-syncWenchao Xia
This interface use id and name as optional parameters, to handle the case that one image contain multiple snapshots with same name which may be '', but with different id. Adding parameter id is for historical compatiability reason, and that case is not possible in qemu's new interface for internal snapshot at block device level, but still possible in qemu-img.
