Most callers of job_is_cancelled() actually want to know whether the job
is on its way to immediate termination. For example, we refuse to pause
jobs that are cancelled; but this only makes sense for jobs that are
really actually cancelled.
A mirror job that is cancelled during READY with force=false should
absolutely be allowed to pause. This "cancellation" (which is actually
a kind of completion) may take an indefinite amount of time, and so
should behave like any job during normal operation. For example, with
on-target-error=stop, the job should stop on write errors. (In
contrast, force-cancelled jobs should not get write errors, as they
should just terminate and not do further I/O.)
Therefore, redefine job_is_cancelled() to only return true for jobs that
are force-cancelled (which as of HEAD^ means any job that interprets the
cancellation request as a request for immediate termination), and add
job_cancel_requested() as the general variant, which returns true for
any jobs which have been requested to be cancelled, whether it be
immediately or after an arbitrarily long completion phase.
Finally, here is a justification for how different job_is_cancelled()
invocations are treated by this patch:
- block/mirror.c (mirror_run()):
- The first invocation is a while loop that should loop until the job
has been cancelled or scheduled for completion. What kind of cancel
does not matter, only the fact that the job is supposed to end.
- The second invocation wants to know whether the job has been
soft-cancelled. Calling job_cancel_requested() is a bit too broad,
but if the job were force-cancelled, we should leave the main loop
as soon as possible anyway, so this should not matter here.
- The last two invocations already check force_cancel, so they should
continue to use job_is_cancelled().
- block/backup.c, block/commit.c, block/stream.c, anything in tests/:
These jobs know only force-cancel, so there is no difference between
job_is_cancelled() and job_cancel_requested(). We can continue using
job_is_cancelled().
- job.c:
- job_pause_point(), job_yield(), job_sleep_ns(): Only force-cancelled
jobs should be prevented from being paused. Continue using job_is_cancelled().
- job_update_rc(), job_finalize_single(), job_finish_sync(): These
functions are all called after the job has left its main loop. The
mirror job (the only job that can be soft-cancelled) will clear
.cancelled before leaving the main loop if it has been
soft-cancelled. Therefore, these functions will observe .cancelled
to be true only if the job has been force-cancelled. We can
continue to use job_is_cancelled().
(Furthermore, conceptually, a soft-cancelled mirror job should not
report to have been cancelled. It should report completion (see
also the block-job-cancel QAPI documentation). Therefore, it makes
sense for these functions not to distinguish between a
soft-cancelled mirror job and a job that has completed as normal.)
- job_completed_txn_abort(): All jobs other than @job have been
force-cancelled. job_is_cancelled() must be true for them.
Regarding @job itself: job_completed_txn_abort() is mostly called
when the job's return value is not 0. A soft-cancelled mirror has a
return value of 0, and so will not end up here then.
However, job_cancel() invokes job_completed_txn_abort() if the job
has been deferred to the main loop, which is mostly the case for
completed jobs (which skip the assertion), but not for sure.
To be safe, use job_cancel_requested() in this assertion.
- job_complete(): This is function eventually invoked by the user
(through qmp_block_job_complete() or qmp_job_complete(), or
job_complete_sync(), which comes from qemu-img). The intention here
is to prevent a user from invoking job-complete after the job has
been cancelled. This should also apply to soft cancelling: After a
mirror job has been soft-cancelled, the user should not be able to
decide otherwise and have it complete as normal (i.e. pivoting to
the target).
- job_cancel(): Both functions are equivalent (see comment there), but
we want to use job_is_cancelled(), because this shows that we call
job_completed_txn_abort() only for force-cancelled jobs. (As
explained for job_update_rc(), soft-cancelled jobs should be treated
as if they have completed as normal.)

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Documentation
=============
Documentation can be found hosted online at
`<https://www.qemu.org/documentation/>`_. The documentation for the
current development version that is available at
`<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/>`_ is generated from the ``docs/``
folder in the source tree, and is built by `Sphinx
<https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>_`.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
.. code-block:: shell
git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu.git
When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the `style section
<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/style.html>` of
the Developers Guide.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_
The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.
.. code-block:: shell
git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web.git
* `<https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/>`_
A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less
cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions,
or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also
requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't
automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps
manually for once.
For installation instructions, please go to
* `<https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish>`_
The workflow with 'git-publish' is:
.. code-block:: shell
$ git checkout master -b my-feature
$ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each
$ git publish
Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.
Sending v2:
.. code-block:: shell
$ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
$ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example)
$ git publish
Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip
will be tagged as my-feature-v2.
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses GitLab issues to track bugs. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
* `<https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues>`_
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via GitLab.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_
ChangeLog
=========
For version history and release notes, please visit
`<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for
more detailed information.
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
* `<mailto:qemu-devel@nongnu.org>`_
