Documentation of BlockExportRemoveMode has
Potential additional modes to be added in the future:
hide: Just hide export from new clients, leave existing connections
as is. Remove export after all clients are disconnected.
soft: Hide export from new clients, answer with ESHUTDOWN for all
further requests from existing clients.
I think this is useful only for developers. Elide it from generated
documentation by turning it into a TODO section.
This effectively reverts my own commit b71fd73cc4 (Revert "qapi:
BlockExportRemoveMode: move comments to TODO"). At the time, I was
about to elide TODO sections from the generated manual, I wasn't sure
about this one, and decided to avoid change. And now I've made up my
mind.

Currently we use 'id' option as the name of VDUSE device.
It's a bit confusing since we use one value for two different
purposes: the ID to identfy the export within QEMU (must be
distinct from any other exports in the same QEMU process, but
can overlap with names used by other processes), and the VDUSE
name to uniquely identify it on the host (must be distinct from
other VDUSE devices on the same host, but can overlap with other
export types like NBD in the same process). To make it clear,
this patch adds a separate 'name' option to specify the VDUSE
name for the vduse-blk export instead.

$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
--export vduse-blk,node-name=drive0,id=vduse-export0,writable=on
After the qemu-storage-daemon started, we need to use
the "vdpa" command to attach the device to vDPA bus:
$ vdpa dev add name vduse-export0 mgmtdev vduse
Also the device must be removed via the "vdpa" command

According to the NBD spec, a server that advertises
NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN promises that multiple client connections will
not see any cache inconsistencies: when properly separated by a single
flush, actions performed by one client will be visible to another
client, regardless of which client did the flush.
We always satisfy these conditions in qemu - even when we support
multiple clients, ALL clients go through a single point of reference
into the block layer, with no local caching. The effect of one client
is instantly visible to the next client. Even if our backend were a
network device, we argue that any multi-path caching effects that
would cause inconsistencies in back-to-back actions not seeing the
effect of previous actions would be a bug in that backend, and not the
fault of caching in qemu. As such, it is safe to unconditionally
advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN for any qemu NBD server situation that
supports parallel clients.
Note, however, that we don't want to advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN when we
know that a second client cannot connect (for historical reasons,
qemu-nbd defaults to a single connection while nbd-server-add and QMP
commands default to unlimited connections; but we already have
existing means to let either style of NBD server creation alter those
defaults). This is visible by no longer advertising MULTI_CONN for
'qemu-nbd -r' without -e, as in the iotest nbd-qemu-allocation.
The harder part of this patch is setting up an iotest to demonstrate
behavior of multiple NBD clients to a single server. It might be
possible with parallel qemu-io processes, but I found it easier to do
in python with the help of libnbd, and help from Nir and Vladimir in
writing the test.

Hi all! Current logic of relying on search through backing chain is not
safe neither convenient.
Sometimes it leads to necessity of extra bitmap copying. Also, we are
going to add "snapshot-access" driver, to access some snapshot state
through NBD. And this driver is not formally a filter, and of course
it's not a COW format driver. So, searching through backing chain will
not work. Instead of widening the workaround of bitmap searching, let's
extend the interface so that user can select bitmap precisely.
Note, that checking for bitmap active status is not copied to the new
API, I don't see a reason for it, user should understand the risks. And
anyway, bitmap from other node is unrelated to this export being
read-only or read-write.

Without the allow_other mount option, no user (not even root) but the
one who started qemu/the storage daemon can access the export. Allow
users to configure the export such that such accesses are possible.
While allow_other is probably what users want, we cannot make it an
unconditional default, because passing it is only possible (for non-root
users) if the global fuse.conf configuration file allows it. Thus, the
default is an 'auto' mode, in which we first try with allow_other, and
then fall back to without.
FuseExport.allow_other reports whether allow_other was actually used as
a mount option or not. Currently, this information is not used, but a
future patch will let this field decide whether e.g. an export's UID and
GID can be changed through chmod.
One notable thing about 'auto' mode is that libfuse may print error
messages directly to stderr, and so may fusermount (which it executes).
Our export code cannot really filter or hide them. Therefore, if 'auto'
fails its first attempt and has to fall back, fusermount will print an
error message that mounting with allow_other failed.
This behavior necessitates a change to iotest 308, namely we need to
filter out this error message (because if the first attempt at mounting
with allow_other succeeds, there will be no such message).
Furthermore, common.rc's _make_test_img should use allow-other=off for
FUSE exports, because iotests generally do not need to access images
from other users, so allow-other=on or allow-other=auto have no
advantage. OTOH, allow-other=on will not work on systems where
user_allow_other is disabled, and with allow-other=auto, we get said
error message that we would need to filter out again. Just disabling
allow-other is simplest.

block-export-add type=fuse allows mounting block graph nodes via FUSE on
some existing regular file. That file should then appears like a raw
disk image, and accesses to it result in accesses to the exported BDS.
Right now, we only implement the necessary block export functions to set
it up and shut it down. We do not implement any access functions, so
accessing the mount point only results in errors. This will be
addressed by a followup patch.
We keep a hash table of exported mount points, because we want to be
able to detect when users try to use a mount point twice. This is
because we invoke stat() to check whether the given mount point is a
regular file, but if that file is served by ourselves (because it is
already used as a mount point), then this stat() would have to be served
by ourselves, too, which is impossible to do while we (as the caller)
are waiting for it to settle. Therefore, keep track of mount point
paths to at least catch the most obvious instances of that problem.

Allow the server to expose an additional metacontext to be requested
by savvy clients. qemu-nbd adds a new option -A to expose the
qemu:allocation-depth metacontext through NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS; this
can also be set via QMP when using block-export-add.
qemu as client is hacked into viewing the key aspects of this new
context by abusing the already-experimental x-dirty-bitmap option to
collapse all depths greater than 2, which results in a tri-state value
visible in the output of 'qemu-img map --output=json' (yes, that means
x-dirty-bitmap is now a bit of a misnomer, but I didn't feel like
renaming it as it would introduce a needless break of back-compat,
even though we make no compat guarantees with x- members):
unallocated (depth 0) => "zero":false, "data":true
local (depth 1) => "zero":false, "data":false
backing (depth 2+) => "zero":true, "data":true
libnbd as client is probably a nicer way to get at the information
without having to decipher such hacks in qemu as client. ;)

'bitmap':'str'. This wires up the qapi and qemu-nbd changes to permit
passing multiple bitmaps as distinct metadata contexts that the NBD
client may request, but the actual support for more than one will
require a further patch to the server.
Note that there are no changes made to the existing deprecated

Note that the feature bit only announces the presence of the num_queues
configuration space field. It does not promise that there is more than 1
virtqueue, so we can set it unconditionally.
I tested multi-queue by running a random read fio test with numjobs=4 on

Use the new QAPI block exports API instead of defining our own QOM
objects.
This is a large change because the lifecycle of VuBlockDev needs to
follow BlockExportDriver. QOM properties are replaced by QAPI options
objects.
VuBlockDev is renamed VuBlkExport and contains a BlockExport field.
Several fields can be dropped since BlockExport already has equivalents.
The file names and meson build integration will be adjusted in a future
patch. libvhost-user should probably be built as a static library that
is linked into QEMU instead of as a .c file that results in duplicate
compilation.
The new command-line syntax is:
$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
--export vhost-user-blk,node-name=drive0,id=export0,unix-socket=/tmp/vhost-user-blk.sock
Note that unix-socket is optional because we may wish to accept chardevs
too in the future.
Markus noted that supported address families are not explicit in the
QAPI schema. It is unlikely that support for more address families will
be added since file descriptor passing is required and few address
families support it. If a new address family needs to be added, then the
QAPI 'features' syntax can be used to advertize them.
