Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to
the guest. This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays
or SSDs.
The options are:
- physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device,
this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many
modern storage devices
- min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact,
this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays.
- opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is
typically the RAID stripe width for arrays.
I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily
be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration.
Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the
logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in. The reason for
that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and
at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow
for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would
not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only
uses the physical block exponent.
To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a
new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a
DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring
what is done for network drivers. Also switch over all block drivers
to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB
properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever.
Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and
8k optimal I/O size:
-drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192

* drive_uninit() calls are moved over to the ->exit()

The bdrv_aio_{read,write} routines can return a NULL pointer when the

for an I/O completion and leading to a hang of the guest.
I can easily reproduce this using the native Linux AIO patch, but it's
also possible using normal pthreads-based AIO.

First user of the new drive property. With this patch applied host
and guest config can be specified separately, like this:
-drive if=none,id=disk1,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk1
You can set any property for virtio-blk-pci now. You can set the pci
address via addr=. You can switch the device into 0.10 compat mode
using class=0x0180. As this is per device you can have one 0.10 and one
0.11 virtio block device in a single virtual machine.
Old syntax continues to work. Internally it does the same as the two
lines above though. One side effect this has is a different
initialization order, which might result in a different pci address
being assigned by default.
Long term plan here is to have this working for all block devices, i.e.
once all scsi is properly qdev-ified you will be able to do something
like this:
-drive if=none,id=sda,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device lsi,id=lsi,addr=<pciaddr>
-device scsi-disk,drive=sda,bus=lsi.0,lun=<n>

Message-Id:
When a VM state change handler changes VM state, other VM state change
handlers can see the state transitions out of order.
bmdma_map(), scsi_disk_init() and virtio_blk_init() install VM state
change handlers to restart DMA. These handlers can vm_stop() by
running into a write error on a drive with werror=stop. This throws
the VM state change handler callback into disarray. Here's an example
case I observed:
0. The virtual IDE drive goes south. All future writes return errors.
1. Something encounters a write error, and duly stops the VM with
vm_stop().
2. vm_stop() calls vm_state_notify(0).
3. vm_state_notify() runs the callbacks in list vm_change_state_head.
It contains ide_dma_restart_cb() installed by bmdma_map(). It also
contains audio_vm_change_state_handler() installed by audio_init().
4. audio_vm_change_state_handler() stops audio stuff.
5. User continues VM with monitor command "c". This runs vm_start().
6. vm_start() calls vm_state_notify(1).
7. vm_state_notify() runs the callbacks in vm_change_state_head.
8. ide_dma_restart_cb() happens to come first. It does its work, runs
into a write error, and duly stops the VM with vm_stop().
9. vm_stop() runs vm_state_notify(0).
10. vm_state_notify() runs the callbacks in vm_change_state_head.
11. audio_vm_change_state_handler() stops audio stuff. Which isn't
running.
12. vm_stop() finishes, ide_dma_restart_cb() finishes, step 7's
vm_state_notify() resumes running handlers.
13. audio_vm_change_state_handler() starts audio stuff. Oopsie.
Fix this by moving the actual write from each VM state change handler
into a new bottom half (suggested by Gleb Natapov).

Add support for SG_IO passthru (packet commands) to the virtio-blk
backend. Conceptually based on an older patch from Hannes Reinecke
but largely rewritten to match the code structure and layering in
virtio-blk.
Note that currently we issue the hose SG_IO synchronously. We could
easily switch to async I/O, but that would required either bloating
the VirtIOBlockReq by the size of struct sg_io_hdr or an additional
memory allocation for each SG_IO request.

A subsystem vendor ID of zero isn't allowed, so we use our
default ID.
Gerd points out that although the PCI subsystem vendor ID is
treated by the guest as the virtio vendor ID:
/* we use the subsystem vendor/device id as the virtio vendor/device
* id. this allows us to use the same PCI vendor/device id for all
* virtio devices and to identify the particular virtio driver by
* the subsytem ids */
vp_dev->vdev.id.vendor = pci_dev->subsystem_vendor;
vp_dev->vdev.id.device = pci_dev->subsystem_device;
it looks like only the device ID is used right now:
# grep virtio modules.alias
alias virtio:d00000001v* virtio_net
alias virtio:d00000002v* virtio_blk
alias virtio:d00000003v* virtio_console
alias virtio:d00000004v* virtio-rng

alias pci:v00001AF4d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* virtio_pci
alias virtio:d00000009v* 9pnet_virtio
so setting the subsystem vendor id to something != zero shouldn't cause
trouble.
