This patch adds the ability to grow qcow2 images in-place using
bdrv_truncate(). This enables qemu-img resize command support for
qcow2.
Snapshots are not supported and bdrv_truncate() will return -ENOTSUP.
The notion of resizing an image with snapshots could lead to confusion:
users may expect snapshots to remain unchanged, but this is not possible
with the current qcow2 on-disk format where the header.size field is
global instead of per-snapshot. Others may expect snapshots to change
size along with the current image data. I think it is safest to not
support snapshots and perhaps add behavior later if there is a
consensus.
Backing images continue to work. If the image is now larger than its
backing image, zeroes are read when accessing beyond the end of the
backing image.

Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but rather
just get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patch
introduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which
need to access the filename to open their file/device/connection/... a new
callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file
opened.
For now, also some of the more obscure formats use bdrv_file_open because they
open() the file themselves instead of using the block.c functions. They need to
be fixed in later patches.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.
This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.
The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.
For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.
The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation. Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img. I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.
There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.
Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.
Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin
and me, which should all be in his block queue.

Block drivers can trigger a blkdebug event whenever they reach a place where it
could be useful to inject an error for testing/debugging purposes.
Rules are read from a blkdebug config file and describe which action is taken
when an event is triggered. For now this is only injecting an error (with a few
options) or changing the state (which is an integer). Rules can be declared to
be active only in a specific state; this way later rules can distiguish on
which path we came to trigger their event.

The current implementation of alloc_refcount_block and grow_refcount_table has
fundamental problems regarding error handling. There are some places where an
I/O error means that the image is going to be corrupted. I have found that the
only way to fix this is to completely rewrite the thing.
In detail, the problem is that the refcount blocks itself are allocated using
alloc_refcount_noref (to avoid endless recursion when updating the refcount of
the new refcount block, which migh access just the same refcount block but its
allocation is not yet completed...). Only at the end of the refcount allocation
the refcount of the refcount block is increased. If an error happens in
between, the refcount block is in use, but has a refcount of zero and will
likely be overwritten later.
The new approach is explained in comments in the code. The trick is basically
to let new refcount blocks describe their own refcount, so their refcount will
be automatically changed when they are hooked up in the refcount table.

Most of these are obvious NULL-deref bug fixes, for example,
the ones in these files:
block/curl.c
net.c
slirp/misc.c
and the first one in block/vvfat.c.
The others in block/vvfat.c may not lead to an immediate segfault, but I
traced the two schedule_rename(..., strdup(path)) uses, and a failed
strdup would appear to trigger this assertion in handle_renames_and_mkdirs:
assert(commit->path);
The conversion to use qemu_strdup in envlist_to_environ is not technically
needed, but does avoid a theoretical leak in the caller when strdup fails
for one value, but later succeeds in allocating another buffer(plausible,
if one string length is much larger than the others). The caller does
not know the length of the returned list, and as such can only free
pointers until it hits the first NULL. If there are non-NULL pointers
beyond the first, their buffers would be leaked. This one is admittedly
far-fetched.
The two in linux-user/main.c are worth fixing to ensure that an
OOM error is diagnosed up front, rather than letting it provoke some
harder-to-diagnose secondary error, in case of exec failure, or worse, in
case the exec succeeds but with an invalid list of command line options.
However, considering how unlikely it is to encounter a failed strdup early
in main, this isn't a big deal. Note that adding the required uses of
qemu_strdup here and in envlist.c induce link failures because qemu_strdup
is not currently in any library they're linked with. So for now, I've
omitted those changes, as well as the fixes in target-i386/helper.c
and target-sparc/helper.c.
If you'd like to see the above discussion (or anything else)
in the commit log, just let me know and I'll be happy to adjust.

Currently qcow2 unnecessarily rounds up the length of the backing format string
to the next multiple of 8. At the same time, the array in BlockDriverState can
only hold 15 characters, so in effect backing formats with 9 characters or more
don't work (e.g. host_device).
Save the real string length and things start to work for all valid image format
names.

When the synchronous read and write functions were dropped, they were replaced
by generic emulation functions. Unfortunately, these emulation functions don't
provide the same semantics as the original functions did.
The original bdrv_read would mean that we read some data synchronously and that
we won't be interrupted during this read. The latter assumption is no longer
true with the emulation function which needs to use qemu_aio_poll and therefore
allows the callback of any other concurrent AIO request to be run during the
read. Which in turn means that (meta)data read earlier could have changed and
be invalid now. qcow2 is not prepared to work in this way and it's just scary
how many places there are where other requests could run.
I'm not sure yet where exactly it breaks, but you'll see breakage with virtio
on qcow2 with a backing file. Providing synchronous functions again fixes the
problem for me.

This patch increases the maximum qcow2 cluster size to 2 MB. Starting with 128k
clusters, L2 tables span 2 GB or more of virtual disk space, causing 32 bit
truncation and wraparound of signed integers. Therefore some variables need to
use a larger data type.
While being at reviewing data types, change some integers that are used for
array indices to unsigned. In some places they were checked against some upper
limit but not for negative values. This could avoid potential segfaults with
corrupted qcow2 images.

If we are flushing the caches for our image files we only care about the
data (including the metadata required for accessing it) but not things
like timestamp updates. So try to use fdatasync instead of fsync to
implement the flush operations.
Unfortunately many operating systems still do not support fdatasync,
so we add a qemu_fdatasync wrapper that uses fdatasync if available
as per the _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO feature macro or fsync otherwise.

When two AIO requests write to the same cluster, and this cluster is
unallocated, currently both requests allocate a new cluster and the second one
merges the first one when it is completed. This means an cluster allocation, a
read and a cluster deallocation which cause some overhead. If we simply let the
second request wait until the first one is done, we improve overall performance
with AIO requests (specifially, qcow2/virtio combinations).
This patch maintains a list of in-flight requests that have allocated new
clusters. A second request touching the same cluster is limited so that it
either doesn't touch the allocation of the first request (so it can have a
non-overlapping allocation) or it waits for the first request to complete.

The wrong version of the preallocation patch has been applied, so this is the
remaining diff.
We can't use truncate to grow the image file to the right size because we don't
know if metadata has been written after the last data cluster. In this case
truncate would shrink the file and destroy its metadata. Write a zero sector at
the end of the virtual disk instead to ensure that the file is big enough.

Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.
This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.
To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the

Currently the raw-posix.c code contains a lot of knowledge about the
asynchronous I/O scheme that is mostly implemented in posix-aio-compat.c.
All this code does not really belong here and is getting a bit in the
way of implementing native AIO on Linux.
So instead move all the guts of the AIO implementation into
posix-aio-compat.c (which might need a better name, btw).
There's now a very small interface between the AIO providers and raw-posix.c:
- an init routine is called from raw_open_common to return an AIO context
for this drive. An AIO implementation may either re-use one context
for all drives, or use a different one for each as the Linux native
AIO support will do.
- an submit routine is called from the aio_reav/writev methods to submit
an AIO request
There are no indirect calls involved in this interface as we need to
decide which one to call manually. We will only call the Linux AIO native
init function if we were requested to by vl.c, and we will only call
the native submit function if we are asked to and the request is properly
aligned. That's also the reason why the alignment check actually does
the inverse move and now goes into raw-posix.c.
The old posix-aio-compat.h headers is removed now that most of it's
content is private to posix-aio-compat.c, and instead we add a new
block/raw-posix-aio.h headers is created containing only the tiny interface
between raw-posix.c and the AIO implementation.

This introduces a qemu-img create option for qcow2 which allows the metadata to
be preallocated, i.e. clusters are reserved in the refcount table and L1/L2
tables, but no data is written to them. Metadata is quite small, so this
happens in almost no time.
Especially with qcow2 on virtio this helps to gain a bit of performance during
the initial writes. However, as soon as create a snapshot, we're back to the
normal slow speed, obviously. So this isn't the real fix, but kind of a cheat
while we're still having trouble with qcow2 on virtio.
Note that the option is disabled by default and needs to be specified
explicitly using qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata.

When using O_DIRECT, qcow2 snapshots didn't work any more for me. In the
process of creating the snapshot, qcow2 tries to pwrite some new information
(e.g. new L1 table) which will often end up being after the old end of the
image file. Now pwrite tries to align things and reads the old contents of the
file, read returns 0 because there is nothing to read after the end of file and
pwrite is stuck in an endless loop.
This patch allows to pread beyond the end of an image file. Whenever the
given offset is after the end of the image file, the read succeeds and fills
the buffer with zeros.

This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above
