2010-11-04block: Allow bdrv_flush to return errorsKevin Wolf1-4/+17
This changes bdrv_flush to return 0 on success and -errno in case of failure. It's a requirement for implementing proper error handle in users of bdrv_flush. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2010-10-22Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 diskedison1-0/+16
In order to backup snapshots, created from QCOW2 iamge, we want to copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk to a seperate storage. The following patch adds a new option in "qemu-img": qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s snapshot_name src_img bck_img. Right now, it only supports to copy the full snapshot, delta snapshot is on the way.

2010-08-03block: Change bdrv_eject() not to drop the imageMarkus Armbruster1-3/+4
bdrv_eject() gets called when a device model opens or closes the tray. If the block driver implements method bdrv_eject(), that method gets called. Drivers host_cdrom implements it, and it opens and closes the physical tray, and nothing else. When a device model opens, then closes the tray, media changes only if the user actively changes the physical media while the tray is open. This is matches how physical hardware behaves. If the block driver doesn't implement method bdrv_eject(), we do something quite different: opening the tray severs the connection to the image by calling bdrv_close(), and closing the tray does nothing. When the device model opens, then closes the tray, media is gone, unless the user actively inserts another one while the tray is open, with a suitable change command in the monitor. This isn't how physical hardware behaves. Rather inconvenient when programs "helpfully" eject media to give you a chance to change it. The way bdrv_eject() behaves here turns that chance into a must, which is not what these programs or their users expect. Change the default action not to call bdrv_close(). Instead, note the tray status in new BlockDriverState member tray_open. Use it in bdrv_is_inserted(). Arguably, the device models should keep track of tray status themselves. But this is less invasive. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2010-08-03block: Fix bdrv_has_zero_initKevin Wolf1-4/+2

2010-08-03block: Change bdrv_commit to handle multiple sectors at onceKevin Wolf1-18/+19
bdrv_commit copies the image to its backing file sector by sector, which is (surprise!) relatively slow. Let's take a larger buffer and handle more sectors at once if possible. With a 1G qcow2 file, this brought the time bdrv_commit takes down from 5:06 min to 1:14 min for me. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-07-15Make default invocation of block drivers safer (v3)Anthony Liguori1-0/+4
CVE-2008-2004 described a vulnerability in QEMU whereas a malicious user could trick the block probing code into accessing arbitrary files in a guest. To mitigate this, we added an explicit format parameter to -drive which disabling block probing. Fast forward to today, and the vast majority of users do not use this parameter. libvirt does not use this by default nor does virt-manager. Most users want block probing so we should try to make it safer. This patch adds some logic to the raw device which attempts to detect a write operation to the beginning of a raw device. If the first 4 bytes happen to match an image file that has a backing file that we support, it scrubs the signature to all zeros. If a user specifies an explicit format parameter, this behavior is disabled. I contend that while a legitimate guest could write such a signature to the header, we would behave incorrectly anyway upon the next invocation of QEMU. This simply changes the incorrect behavior to not involve a security vulnerability. I've tested this pretty extensively both in the positive and negative case. I'm not 100% confident in the block layer's ability to deal with zero sized writes particularly with respect to the aio functions so some additional eyes would be appreciated. Even in the case of a single sector write, we have to make sure to invoked the completion from a bottom half so just removing the zero sized write is not an option.

2010-07-02block: Handle multiwrite errors only when all requests have completedKevin Wolf1-4/+1
Don't try to be clever by freeing all temporary data and calling all callbacks when the return value (an error) is certain. Doing so has at least two important problems: * The temporary data that is freed (qiov, possibly zero buffer) is still used by the requests that have not yet completed. * Calling the callbacks for all requests in the multiwrite means for the caller that it may free buffers etc. which are still in use. Just remember the error value and do the cleanup when all requests have completed. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2010-07-02block: Fix early failure in multiwriteKevin Wolf1-6/+29

2010-07-02block: Fix virtual media change for if=noneMarkus Armbruster1-0/+8
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed. It is set when the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY. The type hint is only set by drive_init(). It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY for if=floppy. It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide, scsi, xen, or none. if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM. if=xen likewise, I think. For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or scsi-disk. For other guest devices, there are problems: * fdc: you can't change virtual media $ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) eject foo Device 'foo' is not removable unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly. * virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. If you eject, the guest gets I/O errors. If you change, the guest sees the drive's contents suddenly change. * scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device, but it can't be pretty. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-06-15savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshotsMiguel Di Ciurcio Filho1-0/+17
Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized. First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten? bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there is snapshots or not. Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image. So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots(). static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void) { BlockDriverState *bs; DriveInfo *dinfo; if (bs_snapshots) return bs_snapshots; QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) { bs = dinfo->bdrv; if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs)) goto ok; } return NULL; ok: bs_snapshots = bs; return bs; } bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support snapshots and do_savevm() goes on. Later on in do_savevm(), we find: QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) { bs1 = dinfo->bdrv; if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) { /* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */ sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0); ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn); if (ret < 0) { monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n", bdrv_get_device_name(bs1)); } } } bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is actually checked for snapshot support. So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not, the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good behavior. It should be an all or nothing process. This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot() where appropriate. bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me. The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at least all writable devices must support snapshots too.

2010-06-04block: call the snapshot handlers of the protocol driversMORITA Kazutaka1-18/+43
When snapshot handlers are not defined in the format driver, it is better to call the ones of the protocol driver. This enables us to implement snapshot support in the protocol driver. We need to call bdrv_close() and bdrv_open() handlers of the format driver before and after bdrv_snapshot_goto() call of the protocol. It is because the contents of the block driver state may need to be changed after loading vmstate.

This adds the wr_highest_sector blockstat which implements what is generally known as the high watermark. It is the highest offset of a sector written to the respective BlockDriverState since it has been opened. The query-blockstat QMP command is extended to add this value to the result, and also to add the statistics of the underlying protocol in a new "parent" field. Note that to get the "high watermark" of a qcow2 image, you need to look into the wr_highest_sector field of the parent (which can be a file, a host_device, ...). The wr_highest_sector of the qcow2 BlockDriverState itself is the highest offset on the _virtual_ disk that the guest has written to. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
