There are 2 deficiencies here:
- mirror_iteration could start several requests inside. Thus we could
simply have more in_flight requests than MAX_IN_FLIGHT.
- keeping this in mind throttling in mirror_run which is checking
s->in_flight == MAX_IN_FLIGHT is wrong.
The patch adds the check and throttling into mirror_iteration and fixes

ratelimit_calculate_delay() previously reset the accounting every time
slice, no matter how much data had been processed before. This had (at
least) two consequences:
1. The minimum speed is rather large, e.g. 5 MiB/s for commit and stream.
Not sure if there are real-world use cases where this would be a
problem. Mirroring and backup over a slow link (e.g. DSL) would
come to mind, though.
2. Tests for block job operations (e.g. cancel) were rather racy
All block jobs currently use a time slice of 100ms. That's a
reasonable value to get smooth output during regular
operation. However this also meant that the state of block jobs
changed every 100ms, no matter how low the configured limit was. On
busy hosts, qemu often transferred additional chunks until the test
case had a chance to cancel the job.
Fix the block job rate limit code to delay for more than one time
slice to address the above issues. To make it easier to handle
oversized chunks we switch the semantics from returning a delay
_before_ the current request to a delay _after_ the current
request. If necessary, this delay consists of multiple time slice
units.
Since the mirror job sends multiple chunks in one go even if the rate
limit was exceeded in between, we need to keep track of the start of
the current time slice so we can correctly re-compute the delay for
the updated amount of data.
The minimum bandwidth now is 1 data unit per time slice. The block
jobs are currently passing the amount of data transferred in sectors
and using 100ms time slices, so this translates to 5120
bytes/second. With chunk sizes usually being O(512KiB), tests have
plenty of time (O(100s)) to operate on block jobs. The chance of a
race condition now is fairly remote, except possibly on insanely
loaded systems.

When a new job is created, the job ID is taken from the device name of

provide one instead.
This patch also verifies that the ID is always unique and well-formed.
This causes problems in a couple of places where no ID is being set,
because the BDS does not have a device name.
In the case of test_block_job_start() (from test-blockjob-txn.c) we
can simply use this new 'job_id' parameter to set the missing ID.
In the case of img_commit() (from qemu-img.c) we still don't have the

Currently, we are trying to move the backing BDS from the source to the
target in bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() which is called from
mirror_exit(). However, mirror_complete() already tries to open the
target's backing chain with a call to bdrv_open_backing_file().
First, we should only set the target's backing BDS once. Second, the
mirroring block job has a better idea of what to set it to than the
generic code in bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() (in fact, the latter's
conditions on when to move the backing BDS from source to target are not
really correct).
Therefore, remove that code from bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() and
leave it to mirror_complete().
Depending on what kind of mirroring is performed, we furthermore want to
use different strategies to open the target's backing chain:
- If blockdev-mirror is used, we can assume the user made sure that the
target already has the correct backing chain. In particular, we should
not try to open a backing file if the target does not have any yet.
- If drive-mirror with mode=absolute-paths is used, we can and should
reuse the already existing chain of nodes that the source BDS is in.
In case of sync=full, no backing BDS is required; with sync=top, we
just link the source's backing BDS to the target, and with sync=none,
we use the source BDS as the target's backing BDS.
We should not try to open these backing files anew because this would
lead to two BDSs existing per physical file in the backing chain, and
we would like to avoid such concurrent access.
- If drive-mirror with mode=existing is used, we have to use the
information provided in the physical image file which means opening
the target's backing chain completely anew, just as it has been done
already.
If the target's backing chain shares images with the source, this may
lead to multiple BDSs per physical image file. But since we cannot
reliably ascertain this case, there is nothing we can do about it.

This adds a new BlockBackend field to the BlockJob struct, which

When creating a block job, a new BlockBackend is created on top of the
given BlockDriverState, and it is destroyed when the BlockJob ends. The
reference to the BDS is now held by the BlockBackend instead of calling
bdrv_ref/unref manually.
We have to be careful when we use bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() in
block jobs because this changes the BDS that job->blk points to. At the
moment block jobs are too tightly coupled with their BDS, so that moving
a job to another BDS isn't easily possible; therefore, we need to just
manually undo this change afterwards.

Commit 5a7e7a0ba moved mirror_exit to a BH handler but didn't add any
protection against new requests that could sneak in just before the
BH is dispatched. For example (assuming a code base at that commit):
main_loop_wait # 1
os_host_main_loop_wait
g_main_context_dispatch
aio_ctx_dispatch
aio_dispatch
...
mirror_run
bdrv_drain
(a) block_job_defer_to_main_loop
qemu_iohandler_poll
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read
...
virtio_submit_multiwrite
(b) blk_aio_multiwrite
main_loop_wait # 2
<snip>
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
(c) mirror_exit
At (a) we know the BDS has no pending request. However, the same
main_loop_wait call is going to dispatch iohandlers (EventNotifier
events), which may lead to a new I/O from guest. So the invariant is
already broken at (c). Data loss.
Commit f3926945c8 made iohandler to use aio API. The order of
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read and block_job_defer_to_main_loop within
a main_loop_wait becomes unpredictable, and even worse, if the host
notifier event arrives at the next main_loop_wait call, the
unpredictable order between mirror_exit and
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read is also a trouble. As shown below, this
commit made the bug easier to trigger:
- Bug case 1:
main_loop_wait # 1
os_host_main_loop_wait
g_main_context_dispatch
aio_ctx_dispatch (qemu_aio_context)
...
mirror_run
bdrv_drain
(a) block_job_defer_to_main_loop
aio_ctx_dispatch (iohandler_ctx)
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read
...
virtio_submit_multiwrite
(b) blk_aio_multiwrite
main_loop_wait # 2
...
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
(c) mirror_exit
- Bug case 2:
main_loop_wait # 1
os_host_main_loop_wait
g_main_context_dispatch
aio_ctx_dispatch (qemu_aio_context)
...
mirror_run
bdrv_drain
(a) block_job_defer_to_main_loop
main_loop_wait # 2
...
aio_ctx_dispatch (iohandler_ctx)
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read
...
virtio_submit_multiwrite
(b) blk_aio_multiwrite
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
(c) mirror_exit
In both cases, (b) breaks the invariant wanted by (a) and (c).
Until then, the request loss has been silent. Later, 3f09bfbc7b added
asserts at (c) to check the invariant (in
bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain), and Max reported an assertion failure
first visible there, by doing active committing while the guest is
running bonnie++.
2.5 added bdrv_drained_begin at (a) to protect the dataplane case from
similar problems, but we never realize the main loop bug until now.
As a bandage, this patch disables iohandler's external events
temporarily together with bs->ctx.

Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

Previously, the effects of bdrv_swap() ensured that the job was (at
least partially) transferred to the target image. Events that contain
the device name could still use bdrv_get_device_name(job->bs) and get

After removing bdrv_swap(), this won't work any more. Instead, save the

During mirror, if the target device does not support zero init, a
mirror may result in a corrupted image for sync="full" mode.
This is due to how the initial dirty bitmap is set up prior to copying
data - we did not mark sectors as dirty that are unallocated. This
means those unallocated sectors are skipped over on the target, and for
a device without zero init, invalid data may reside in those holes.
If both of the following conditions are true, then we will explicitly
mark all sectors as dirty:
1.) sync = "full"
2.) bdrv_has_zero_init(target) == false
If the target does support zero init, but a target image is passed in
with data already present (i.e. an "existing" image), it is assumed the
data present in the existing image is valid data for those sectors.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit dcfb3beb ("mirror: Do zero
write on target if sectors not allocated"), which was reported to cause
aborts with the message "Co-routine re-entered recursively".
The cause for this bug is the following code in mirror_iteration_done():
if (s->common.busy) {
qemu_coroutine_enter(s->common.co, NULL);
}
This has always been ugly because - unlike most places that reenter - it
doesn't have a specific yield that it pairs with, but is more
uncontrolled. What we really mean here is "reenter the coroutine if
it's in one of the four explicit yields in mirror.c".
This used to be equivalent with s->common.busy because neither
mirror_run() nor mirror_iteration() call any function that could yield.
However since commit dcfb3beb this doesn't hold true any more:
bdrv_get_block_status_above() can yield.
So what happens is that bdrv_get_block_status_above() wants to take a
lock that is already held, so it adds itself to the queue of waiting
coroutines and yields. Instead of being woken up by the unlock function,
however, it gets woken up by mirror_iteration_done(), which is obviously
wrong.
In most cases the code actually happens to cope fairly well with such
cases, but in this specific case, the unlock must already have scheduled
the coroutine for wakeup when mirror_iteration_done() reentered it. And
then the coroutine happened to process the scheduled restarts and tried
to reenter itself recursively.
This patch fixes the problem by pairing the reenter in
mirror_iteration_done() with specific yields instead of abusing
s->common.busy.

but different devices can have bitmaps with the same names.
The granularity is an optional field. If it is not specified, we will
choose a default granularity based on the cluster size if available,
clamped to between 4K and 64K to mirror how the 'mirror' code was
already choosing granularity. If we do not have cluster size info
available, we choose 64K. This code has been factored out into a helper
shared with block/mirror.
This patch also introduces the 'block_dirty_bitmap_lookup' helper,
which takes a device name and a dirty bitmap name and validates the
lookup, returning NULL and setting errp if there is a problem with
either field. This helper will be re-used in future patches in this

This patch changes block_job_pause to increase the pause counter and
block_job_resume to decrease it.
The counter will allow calling block_job_pause/block_job_resume
unconditionally on a job when we need to suspend the IO temporarily.
From now on, each block_job_resume must be paired with a block_job_pause
to keep the counter balanced.
The user pause from QMP or HMP will only trigger block_job_pause once
until it's resumed, this is achieved by adding a user_paused flag in
BlockJob.
One occurrence of block_job_resume in mirror_complete is replaced with
block_job_enter which does what is necessary.
In block_job_cancel, the cancel flag is good enough to instruct
coroutines to quit loop, so use block_job_enter to replace the unpaired
block_job_resume.
Upon block job IO error, user is notified about the entering to the
pause state, so this pause belongs to user pause, set the flag
accordingly and expect a matching QMP resume.

device_name[] can become non-empty only in bdrv_new_root() and

done by bdrv_swap(). The former is called only by blk_new_with_bs().
Therefore, when a BlockDriverState's device_name[] is non-empty, then
it's been created with a BlockBackend, and vice versa. Furthermore,
blk_new_with_bs() keeps the two names equal.
Therefore, device_name[] is redundant. Eliminate it.

bdrv_release_dirty_bitmap
Where BdrvDirtyBitmap is a linked list wrapper structure of HBitmap.
In place of bdrv_set_dirty_tracking, a BdrvDirtyBitmap pointer argument
is added to these functions, since each caller has its own dirty bitmap:
bdrv_get_dirty
bdrv_dirty_iter_init
bdrv_get_dirty_count

With AIO support in place, we can start copying more than one chunk
in parallel. This patch introduces the required infrastructure for
this: the buffer is split into multiple granularity-sized chunks,
and there is a free list to access them.
Because of copy-on-write, a single operation may already require
multiple chunks to be available on the free list.
In addition, two different iterations on the HBitmap may want to
copy the same cluster. We avoid this by keeping a bitmap of in-flight
I/O operations, and blocking until the previous iteration completes.
This should be a pretty rare occurrence, though; as long as there is
no overlap the next iteration can start before the previous one finishes.

When mirroring runs, the backing files for the target may not yet be
ready. However, this means that a copy-on-write operation on the target
would fill the missing sectors with zeros. Copy-on-write only happens
if the granularity of the dirty bitmap is smaller than the cluster size
(and only for clusters that are allocated in the source after the job
has started copying). So far, the granularity was fixed to 1MB; to avoid
the problem we detected the situation and required the backing files to
be available in that case only.
However, we want to lower the granularity for efficiency, so we need
a better solution. The solution is to always copy a whole cluster the
first time it is touched. The code keeps a bitmap of clusters that
have already been allocated by the mirroring job, and only does "manual"
copy-on-write if the chunk being copied is zero in the bitmap.

knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes).
The default is 'report' for both.
The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be

This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to
a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image.
The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the
source to the target in the background. This can be used for several
purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and
observation of the guest I/O in an external program. It is also a
first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is
part of QEMU.
The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into
two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target
first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and
ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy
of the source data.
The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs"
reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file.
When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the
job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report
successful completion of the job.
In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target
may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the
BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with
a past state of the source. (Note that it could already happen
that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion
event instead of cancellation).
It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target
disk. The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the
basic idea introduced here. These include improved error management,
some tunable knobs and performance optimizations.
