We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters
on all io paths.
Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for
fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk.
We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and
with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means
error).
So, convert driver write_zeroes handlers bytes parameter to int64_t.
The only caller of all updated function is bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes().
bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes() itself is of course OK with widening of
callee parameter type. Also, bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes()'s
max_write_zeroes is limited to INT_MAX. So, updated functions all are
safe, they will not get "bytes" larger than before.
Still, let's look through all updated functions, and add assertions to
the ones which are actually unprepared to values larger than INT_MAX.
For these drivers also set explicit max_pwrite_zeroes limit.
Let's go:
blkdebug: calculations can't overflow, thanks to
bdrv_check_qiov_request() in generic layer. rule_check() and
bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() both have 64bit argument.
blklogwrites: pass to blk_log_writes_co_log() with 64bit argument.
blkreplay, copy-on-read, filter-compress: pass to
bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() which is OK
copy-before-write: Calls cbw_do_copy_before_write() and
bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes, both have 64bit argument.
file-posix: both handler calls raw_do_pwrite_zeroes, which is updated.
In raw_do_pwrite_zeroes() calculations are OK due to
bdrv_check_qiov_request(), bytes go to RawPosixAIOData::aio_nbytes
which is uint64_t.
Check also where that uint64_t gets handed:
handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_block() passes a uint64_t[2] to
ioctl(BLKZEROOUT), handle_aiocb_write_zeroes() calls do_fallocate()
which takes off_t (and we compile to always have 64-bit off_t), as
does handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_unmap. All look safe.
gluster: bytes go to GlusterAIOCB::size which is int64_t and to
glfs_zerofill_async works with off_t.
iscsi: Aha, here we deal with iscsi_writesame16_task() that has
uint32_t num_blocks argument and iscsi_writesame16_task() has
uint16_t argument. Make comments, add assertions and clarify
max_pwrite_zeroes calculation.
iscsi_allocmap_() functions already has int64_t argument
is_byte_request_lun_aligned is simple to update, do it.
mirror_top: pass to bdrv_mirror_top_do_write which has uint64_t
argument
nbd: Aha, here we have protocol limitation, and NBDRequest::len is
uint32_t. max_pwrite_zeroes is cleanly set to 32bit value, so we are
OK for now.
nvme: Again, protocol limitation. And no inherent limit for
write-zeroes at all. But from code that calculates cdw12 it's obvious
that we do have limit and alignment. Let's clarify it. Also,
obviously the code is not prepared to handle bytes=0. Let's handle
this case too.
trace events already 64bit
preallocate: pass to handle_write() and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes(), both
64bit.
rbd: pass to qemu_rbd_start_co() which is 64bit.
qcow2: offset + bytes and alignment still works good (thanks to
bdrv_check_qiov_request()), so tail calculation is OK
qcow2_subcluster_zeroize() has 64bit argument, should be OK
trace events updated
qed: qed_co_request wants int nb_sectors. Also in code we have size_t
used for request length which may be 32bit. So, let's just keep
INT_MAX as a limit (aligning it down to pwrite_zeroes_alignment) and
don't care.
raw-format: Is OK. raw_adjust_offset and bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes are both
64bit.
throttle: Both throttle_group_co_io_limits_intercept() and
bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() are 64bit.
vmdk: pass to vmdk_pwritev which is 64bit
quorum: pass to quorum_co_pwritev() which is 64bit
Hooray!
At this point all block drivers are prepared to support 64bit
write-zero requests, or have explicitly set max_pwrite_zeroes.

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>`_
* `<https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel>`_
