Subcluster allocation in qcow2 is implemented by extending the
existing L2 table entries and adding additional information to
indicate the allocation status of each subcluster.
This patch documents the changes to the qcow2 format and how they
affect the calculation of the L2 cache size.

The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.
As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.
Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.
This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

Historically, sending all memory regions to vhost-user backends in a
single message imposed a limitation on the number of times memory
could be hot-added to a VM with a vhost-user device. Now that backends
which support the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_SLOTS send memory
regions individually, we no longer need to impose this limitation on
devices which support this feature.
With this change, VMs with a vhost-user device which supports the
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS can support a configurable
number of memory slots, up to the maximum allowed by the target
platform.
Existing backends which do not support

With this change, when the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS
protocol feature has been negotiated, Qemu no longer sends the backend
all the memory regions in a single message. Rather, when the memory
tables are set or updated, a series of VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG and
VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG messages are sent to transmit the regions to map
and/or unmap instead of sending send all the regions in one fixed size
VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE message.
The vhost_user struct maintains a shadow state of the VM’s memory
regions. When the memory tables are modified, the
vhost_user_set_mem_table() function compares the new device memory state
to the shadow state and only sends regions which need to be unmapped or
mapped in. The regions which must be unmapped are sent first, followed
by the new regions to be mapped in. After all the messages have been
sent, the shadow state is set to the current virtual device state.
Existing backends which do not support
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS are unaffected.

This change introduces a new feature to the vhost-user protocol allowing
a backend device to specify the maximum number of ram slots it supports.
At this point, the value returned by the backend will be capped at the
maximum number of ram slots which can be supported by vhost-user, which
is currently set to 8 because of underlying protocol limitations.
The returned value will be stored inside the VhostUserState struct so
that on device reconnect we can verify that the ram slot limitation
has not decreased since the last time the device connected.

Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):
--v-- description start --v--
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
array member [1], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
Linux codebase from now on.
--^-- description end --^--
Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7).
All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following command (then manual analysis, without modifying
structures only having a single flexible array member, such
QEDTable in block/qed.h):
git grep -F '[0];'

For good reason, vhost-user is currently built asynchronously, that
way better performance can be obtained. However, for certain use
cases such as simulation, this is problematic.
Consider an event-based simulation in which both the device and CPU
have scheduled according to a simulation "calendar". Now, consider
the CPU sending I/O to the device, over a vring in the vhost-user
protocol. In this case, the CPU must wait for the vring interrupt
to have been processed by the device, so that the device is able to
put an entry onto the simulation calendar to obtain time to handle
the interrupt. Note that this doesn't mean the I/O is actually done
at this time, it just means that the handling of it is scheduled
before the CPU can continue running.
This cannot be done with the asynchronous eventfd based vring kick
and call design.
Extend the protocol slightly, so that a message can be used for kick
and call instead, if VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_INBAND_NOTIFICATIONS is
negotiated. This in itself doesn't guarantee synchronisation, but both
sides can also negotiate VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK and thus get
a reply to this message by setting the need_reply flag, and ensure
synchronisation this way.
To really use it in both directions, VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SLAVE_REQ
is also needed.
Since it is used for simulation purposes and too many messages on
the socket can lock up the virtual machine, document that this should
only be used together with the mentioned features.

that will be in system/. So move qemu-option-trace.rst.inc to the
top-level docs/ directory, where all these files can include it via

Make it more obvious how to add new fields to the version 3 header and
how to interpret them.
The specification is adjusted so that for new defined optional fields:
1. Software may support some of these optional fields and ignore the
others, which means that features may be backported to downstream
Qemu independently.
2. If we want to add incompatible field (or a field, for which some of
its values would be incompatible), it must be accompanied by
incompatible feature bit.
Also the concept of "default is zero" is clarified, as it's strange to
say that the value of the field is assumed to be zero for the software
version which don't know about the field at all and don't know how to
treat it be it zero or not.

The qemu-nbd documentation is currently in qemu-nbd.texi in Texinfo
format, which we present to the user as:
* a qemu-nbd manpage
* a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation
Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as:
* a qemu-nbd manpage
* part of the interop/ Sphinx manual
This follows the same pattern as commit 27a296fce9 did for the
qemu-ga manpage.
All the content of the old manpage is retained, except that I have
dropped the "This is free software; see the source for copying
conditions. There is NO warranty..." text that was in the old AUTHOR
section; Sphinx's manpage builder doesn't expect that much text in
the AUTHOR section, and since none of our other manpages have it it
seems easiest to delete it rather than try to figure out where else
in the manpage to put it.
The only other textual change is that I have had to give the
--nocache option its own description ("Equivalent to --cache=none")
because Sphinx doesn't have an equivalent of using item/itemx
to share a description between two options.
Some minor aspects of the formatting have changed, to suit what is
easiest for Sphinx to output. (The most notable is that Sphinx
option section option syntax doesn't support '--option foo=bar'
with bar underlined rather than bold, so we have to switch to
'--option foo=BAR' instead.)
The contents of qemu-option-trace.texi are now duplicated in
docs/interop/qemu-option-trace.rst.inc, until such time as we complete
the conversion of the other files which use it; since it has had only
3 changes in 3 years, this shouldn't be too awkward a burden.
(We use .rst.inc because if this file fragment has a .rst extension
then Sphinx complains about not seeing it in a toctree.)

Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to
avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later
be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero
request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize
for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that
will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new
protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as
well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while
upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when
present, and the server to advertise support for it.
The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for
all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to
avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not
requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to
other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get
an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as
EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were
equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than
recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in
practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.

[eblake: tweak commit message, also handle EOPNOTSUPP]
The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be
advertised when the server promises cache consistency between
simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and
flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another
client). When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd
without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we
probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from
one client are cache-consistent with actions from another. But for
read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as
well advertise multi-conn support. What's more, advertisement of the
bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in
use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the
first client goes away.
This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit. We may want
to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections
for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections
when a server advertises multi-conn, but for now sticking to one
connection per nbd:// BDS is okay.

The vhost-user specification does not explain when
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ must be implemented. This may lead
implementors of vhost-user masters to believe that this protocol feature
is required for any device that has multiple virtqueues. That would be
a mistake since existing vhost-user slaves offer multiple virtqueues but
do not advertise VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.
For example, a vhost-net device with one rx/tx queue pair is not
multiqueue. The slave does not need to advertise
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ. Therefore the master must assume it has these
virtqueues and cannot rely on askingt the slave how many virtqueues
exist.
Extend the specification to explain the different between true
multiqueue and regular devices with a fixed virtqueue layout.

The "Multiple queue support" section makes references to vhost-user-net
"queue pairs". This is confusing for two reasons:
1. This actually applies to all device types, not just vhost-user-net.
2. VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM returns the number of virtqueues, not the
number of queue pairs.
Reword the section so that the vhost-user-net specific part is relegated
to the very end: we acknowledge that vhost-user-net historically
automatically enabled the first queue pair.

Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user

Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.

By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once.
For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have
separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual",
and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide
to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate
conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to
support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites
like readthedocs.org.
Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms:
(1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py
for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run
multiple times, once per subdirectory.
(2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all
the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is
run once, on the top-level docs directory.

It can be useful to figure out which NBD protocol features are
exposed by a server, as well as what features a client will
take advantage of if available, for a given qemu release. It's
not always precise to base features on version numbers (thanks
to downstream backports), but any documentation is better than
making users search through git logs themselves.
This patch originally stemmed from a request to document that
pristine 3.0 has a known bug where NBD_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT
with 0 queries forgot to advertise an available
"qemu:dirty-bitmap" context, but documenting bugs like this (or
the fact that 3.0 also botched NBD_CMD_CACHE) gets to be too
much details, especially since buggy releases will be less
likely connection targets over time. Instead, I chose to just
remind users to check stable release branches.

When a QMP client sends in-band commands more quickly that we can
process them, we can either queue them without limit (QUEUE), drop
commands when the queue is full (DROP), or suspend receiving commands
when the queue is full (SUSPEND). None of them is ideal:
* QUEUE lets a misbehaving client make QEMU eat memory without bounds.
Not such a hot idea.
* With DROP, the client has to cope with dropped in-band commands. To
inform the client, we send a COMMAND_DROPPED event then. The event is
flawed by design in two ways: it's ambiguous (see commit d621cfe0a1),
and it brings back the "eat memory without bounds" problem.
* With SUSPEND, the client has to manage the flow of in-band commands to
keep the monitor available for out-of-band commands.
We currently DROP. Switch to SUSPEND.
Managing the flow of in-band commands to keep the monitor available for
out-of-band commands isn't really hard: just count the number of
"outstanding" in-band commands (commands sent minus replies received),
and if it exceeds the limit, hold back additional ones until it drops
below the limit again.
Note that we need to be careful pairing the suspend with a resume, or
else the monitor will hang, possibly forever. And here since we need to
make sure both:
(1) popping request from the req queue, and
(2) reading length of the req queue
will be in the same critical section, we let the pop function take the
corresponding queue lock when there is a request, then we release the
lock from the caller.

Although off_t permits up to 63 bits (8EB) of file offsets, in
practice, we're going to hit other limits first. Document some
of those limits in the qcow2 spec (some are inherent, others are
implementation choices of qemu), and how choice of cluster size
can influence some of the limits.
While we cannot map any uncompressed virtual cluster to any
address higher than 64 PB (56 bits) (due to the current L1/L2
field encoding stopping at bit 55), qemu's cap of 8M for the
refcount table can still access larger host addresses for some
combinations of large clusters and small refcount_order. For
comparison, ext4 with 4k blocks caps files at 16PB.
Another interesting limit: for compressed clusters, the L2 layout
requires an ever-smaller maximum host offset as cluster size gets
larger, down to a 512 TB maximum with 2M clusters. In particular,
note that with a cluster size of 8k or smaller, the L2 entry for
a compressed cluster could technically point beyond the 64PB mark,
but when you consider that with 8k clusters and refcount_order = 0,
you cannot access beyond 512T without exceeding qemu's limit of an
8M cap on the refcount table, it is unlikely that any image in the

Section "QGA Synchronization" specifies that sending "a raw 0xFF
sentinel byte" makes the server "reset its state and discard all
pending data prior to the sentinel." What actually happens there is a
lexical error, which will produce one or more error responses.
Moreover, it's not specific to QGA.
Create new section "Forcing the JSON parser into known-good state" to
document the technique properly. Rewrite section "QGA
Synchronization" to document just the other direction, i.e. command
guest-sync-delimited.
Section "Protocol Specification" mentions "synchronization bytes
(documented below)". Delete that.
While there, fix it not to claim '"Server" is QEMU itself', but
'"Server" is either QEMU or the QEMU Guest Agent'.

Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a
general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an
out-of-band flag:
The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag. "control"
field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
rather than command specific arguments. Let "run-oob" be the first.
However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control". For
instance, in QMP command
{"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}}
"crap" gets silently ignored.
Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism
(because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key
"exec-oob". Simpler code, simpler interface.
An out-of-band command
{"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}}
becomes
{"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42}

[Commit message typo fixed]
Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" made
"id" mandatory for all commands when the client accepted capability
"oob". This is rather onerous when you play with QMP by hand, and
unnecessarily so: only out-of-band commands need an ID for reliable
matching of response to command.
Revert that part of commit cf869d5317 for now, but have documentation
advise on the need to use "id" with out-of-band commands.

Add a schema that describes the different uses and properties of virtual
machine firmware.
Each firmware executable installed on a host system should come with at
least one JSON file that conforms to this schema. Each file informs the
management applications about
- the firmware's properties and one possible use case / feature set,
- configuration bits that are required to run the firmware binary.
In addition, define rules for management apps for picking the highest

QEMU -> client
set_mem_table
mmap stuff, get addresses

OK - now you can use them
That ensures that qemu has registered the new addresses in it's

This patch fixes several mistakes in the documentation of the
compressed cluster descriptor:
1) the documentation claims that the cluster descriptor contains the
number of sectors used to store the compressed data, but what it
actually contains is the number of sectors *minus one* or, in other
words, the number of additional sectors after the first one.
2) the width of the fields is incorrectly specified. The number of bits
used by each field is
x = 62 - (cluster_bits - 8) for the offset field
y = (cluster_bits - 8) for the size field
So the offset field's location is [0, x-1], not [0, x] as stated.
3) the size field does not contain the size of the compressed data,
but rather the number of sectors where that data is stored. The
compressed data starts at the exact point specified in the offset
field and ends when there's enough data to produce a cluster of
decompressed data. Both points can be in the middle of a sector,
allowing several compressed clusters to be stored next to one
another, sharing sectors if necessary.

When you cancel an in-progress 'mirror' job (or "active `block-commit`")
with QMP `block-job-cancel`, it emits the event: BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED.
However, when `block-job-cancel` is issued *after* `drive-mirror` has
indicated (via the event BLOCK_JOB_READY) that the source and
destination have reached synchronization:
[...] # Snip `drive-mirror` invocation & outputs
{
"execute":"block-job-cancel",
"arguments":{
"device":"virtio0"
}
}
{"return": {}}
It (`block-job-cancel`) will counterintuitively emit the event
'BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED':
{
"timestamp":{
"seconds":1510678024,
"microseconds":526240
},
"event":"BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED",
"data":{
"device":"virtio0",
"len":41126400,
"offset":41126400,
"speed":0,
"type":"mirror"
}
}
But this is expected behaviour, where the _COMPLETED event indicates
that synchronization has successfully ended (and the destination now has
a point-in-time copy, which is at the time of cancel).
So add a small note to this effect in 'block-core.json'. While at it,
also update the "Live disk synchronization -- drive-mirror and
blockdev-mirror" section in 'live-block-operations.rst'.

This patch switches back to consistently using qemu.org instead of

Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands.
This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using
CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions
and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket
and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device.
The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations
with multipath devices.
It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in
the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is
supported.

major kinds of live block operations:
- `block-stream`
- `block-commit`
- `drive-mirror` (& `blockdev-mirror`)
- `drive-backup` (& `blockdev-backup`)
Things considered while writing this document:
- Use reStructuredText as markup language (with the goal of generating
the HTML output using the Sphinx Documentation Generator). It is
gentler on the eye, and can be trivially converted to different
formats. (Another reason: upstream QEMU is considering to switch to
Sphinx, which uses reStructuredText as its markup language.)
- Raw QMP JSON output vs. 'qmp-shell'. I debated with myself whether
to only show raw QMP JSON output (as that is the canonical
representation), or use 'qmp-shell', which takes key-value pairs. I
settled on the approach of: for the first occurrence of a command,
use raw JSON; for subsequent occurrences, use 'qmp-shell', with an
occasional exception.
- Usage of `-blockdev` command-line.
- Usage of 'node-name' vs. file path to refer to disks. While we have
`blockdev-{mirror, backup}` as 'node-name'-alternatives for
`drive-{mirror, backup}`, the `block-commit` command still operates
on file names for parameters 'base' and 'top'. So I added a caveat
at the beginning to that effect.
Refer this related thread that I started (where I learnt
`block-stream` was recently reworked to accept 'node-name' for 'top'
and 'base' parameters):

"[RFC] Making 'block-stream', and 'block-commit' accept node-name"
All commands showed in this document were tested while documenting.
Thanks: Eric Blake for the section: "A note on points-in-time vs file
names". This useful bit was originally articulated by Eric in his
KVMForum 2015 presentation, so I included that specific bit in this
document.

This is part of the on-going effort to convert QEMU upstream
documentation syntax to reStructuredText (rST).
The conversion to rST was done using:
$ pandoc -f markdown -t rst bitmaps.md -o bitmaps.rst
Then, make a couple of small syntactical adjustments. While at it,
reword a statement to avoid ambiguity. Addressing the feedback from
this thread:

A bitmap directory entry is sometimes called a 'bitmap header'. This
patch leaves only one name - 'bitmap directory entry'. The name 'bitmap
header' creates misunderstandings with 'qcow2 header' and 'qcow2 bitmap
header extension' (which is extension of qcow2 header)
