When removing a drive from the host-side via drive_del we currently have
the following path:
drive_del
qemu_aio_flush()
bdrv_close() // zaps bs->drv, which makes any subsequent I/O get
// dropped. Works as designed
drive_uninit()
bdrv_delete() // frees the bs. Since the device is still connected to
// bs, any subsequent I/O is a use-after-free.
The value of bs->drv becomes unpredictable on free. As long as it
remains null, I/O still gets dropped, however it could become non-null
at any point after the free resulting SEGVs or other QEMU state
corruption.
To resolve this issue as simply as possible, we can chose to not
actually delete the BlockDriverState pointer. Since bdrv_close()
handles setting the drv pointer to NULL, we just need to remove the
BlockDriverState from the QLIST that is used to enumerate the block
devices. This is currently handled within bdrv_delete, so move this
into its own function, bdrv_make_anon().
The result is that we can now invoke drive_del, this closes the file
descriptors and sets BlockDriverState->drv to NULL which prevents futher
IO to the device, and since we do not free BlockDriverState, we don't
have to worry about the copy retained in the block devices.
We also don't attempt to remove the qdev property since we are no longer
deleting the BlockDriverState on drives with associated drives. This
also allows for removing Drives with no devices associated either.

BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media
change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed. It is set when
the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY.
The type hint is only set by drive_init(). It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY
for if=floppy. It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide,
scsi, xen, or none.
if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM.
if=xen likewise, I think.
For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or
scsi-disk. For other guest devices, there are problems:
* fdc: you can't change virtual media
$ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo
QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) eject foo
Device 'foo' is not removable
unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly.
* virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. If
you eject, the guest gets I/O errors. If you change, the guest sees
the drive's contents suddenly change.
* scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.
I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device,
but it can't be pretty.

Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized.
First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing
and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten?
bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there
is snapshots or not.
Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or
not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image.
So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global
BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots().
static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void)
{
BlockDriverState *bs;
DriveInfo *dinfo;
if (bs_snapshots)
return bs_snapshots;
QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
bs = dinfo->bdrv;
if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs))
goto ok;
}
return NULL;
ok:
bs_snapshots = bs;
return bs;
}
bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support
snapshots and do_savevm() goes on.
Later on in do_savevm(), we find:
QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
bs1 = dinfo->bdrv;
if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) {
/* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */
sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0);
ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn);
if (ret < 0) {
monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n",
bdrv_get_device_name(bs1));
}
}
}
bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has
snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is
actually checked for snapshot support.
So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not,
the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good
behavior. It should be an all or nothing process.
This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do
what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of
do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot()
where appropriate.
bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me.
The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at
least all writable devices must support snapshots too.

This fixes the problem that qemu-img's use of no_zero_init only considered the

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.

BDRV_O_FILE is only used to communicate between bdrv_file_open and bdrv_open.
It affects two things: first bdrv_open only searches for protocols using
find_protocol instead of all image formats and host drivers. We can easily
move that to the caller and pass the found driver to bdrv_open. Second
it is used to not force a read-write open of a snapshot file. But we never
use bdrv_file_open to open snapshots and this behaviour doesn't make sense
to start with.
qemu-io abused the BDRV_O_FILE for it's growable option, switch it to
using bdrv_file_open to make sure we only open files as growable were
we can actually support that.

Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.
I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom
devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an
example.
Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than
bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous
requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple.
Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction
and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy
enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough
on a non-Linux OS.
Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest
to a host CDROM device.

When a scsi device is backed by a scsi generic device instead of an
ordinary host block device, the block API is abused in a couple of annoying
ways:
- nb_sectors is negative, and specifies a byte count instead of a sector count
- offset is ignored, since scsi-generic is essentially a packet protocol
This overloading makes hacking the block layer difficult. Remove it by
introducing a new explicit API for scsi-generic devices. The new API
is still backed by the old implementation, but at least the users are
insulated.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

Reading the passwords for encrypted hard disks during early startup is
broken (I guess for quiet a while now):
- No monitor terminal is ready for input at this point
- Forcing all mux'ed terminals into monitor mode can confuse other
users of that channels
To overcome these issues and to lay the ground for a clean decoupling of
monitor terminals, this patch changes the initial password inquiry as
follows:
- Prevent autostart if there is some encrypted disk
- Once the user tries to resume the VM, prompt for all missing
passwords
- Only resume if all passwords were accepted

'num_free_bytes' is the number of non-allocated bytes below highest-allocation.
It's useful, together with the highest-allocation, to figure out how
fragmented the image is, and how likely it will run out-of-space soon.
For example when the highest allocation is high (almost end-of-disk), but
many bytes (clusters) are free, and can be re-allocated when neeeded, than
we know it's probably not going to reach end-of-disk-space soon.

Most devices that are capable of DMA are also capable of scatter-gather.
With the memory mapping API, this means that the device code needs to be
able to access discontiguous host memory regions.
For block devices, this translates to vectored I/O. This patch implements
an aynchronous vectored interface for the qemu block devices. At the moment
all I/O is bounced and submitted through the non-vectored API; in the future
we will convert block devices to natively support vectored I/O wherever
possible.

qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes
performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most
noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.
It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
out the issues in qcow2.

This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough
to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is
now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk
images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity
it not at all an issue.
cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is
still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT
implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations. It's
only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch.
Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend.
For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must
support registration. This patch introduces a new function,
qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be
called back. qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered
with this function until one becomes readable or writable.
This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a
thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices
(like NBD).

Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the
code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for
linking against qemu and the tools.
This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for
qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects.
This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also
changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since
we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to
#if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows.
After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and
qemu-nbd.

This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in
checking for AIO completions. For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we
emulate it with threads.
There was a long discussion about this approach. I don't believe there are any
fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of
signals is a good thing.
I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests. I've also checked
for disk IO performance regressions.
