2014-04-04qcow2: Flush metadata during read-only reopenKevin Wolf1-4/+21
If lazy refcounts are enabled for a backing file, committing to this backing file may leave it in a dirty state even if the commit succeeds. The reason is that the bdrv_flush() call in bdrv_commit() doesn't flush refcount updates with lazy refcounts enabled, and qcow2_reopen_prepare() doesn't take care to flush metadata. In order to fix this, this patch also fixes qcow2_mark_clean(), which contains another ineffective bdrv_flush() call beause lazy refcounts are disabled only afterwards. All existing callers of qcow2_mark_clean() either don't modify refcounts or already flush manually, so that this fixes only a latent, but not yet actually triggerable bug. Another instance of the same problem is live snapshots. Again, a real corruption is prevented by an explicit flush for non-read-only images in external_snapshot_prepare(), but images using lazy refcounts stay dirty.

2014-04-01qcow2: link all L2 meta updates in preallocate()Stefan Hajnoczi1-1/+6
preallocate() only links the first QCowL2Meta's data clusters into the L2 table and ignores any chained QCowL2Metas in the linked list. Chains of QCowL2Meta structs are built up when contiguous clusters span L2 tables. Each QCowL2Meta describes one L2 table update. This is a rare case in preallocate() but can happen. This patch fixes preallocate() by iterating over the whole list of QCowL2Metas. Compare with the qcow2_co_writev() function's implementation, which is similar but also also handles request dependencies. preallocate() only performs one allocation at a time so there can be no dependencies.

The qcow2 code assumes that s->snapshots is non-NULL if s->nb_snapshots != 0. By having the initialisation of both fields separated in qcow2_open(), any error occuring in between would cause the error path to dereference NULL in qcow2_free_snapshots() if the image had any snapshots.

2014-04-01qcow2: Don't rely on free_cluster_index in alloc_refcount_block() ↵Kevin Wolf1-5/+6
(CVE-2014-0147) free_cluster_index is only correct if update_refcount() was called from an allocation function, and even there it's brittle because it's used to protect unfinished allocations which still have a refcount of 0 - if it moves in the wrong place, the unfinished allocation can be corrupted. So not using it any more seems to be a good idea. Instead, use the first requested cluster to do the calculations. Return -EAGAIN if unfinished allocations could become invalid and let the caller restart its search for some free clusters. The context of creating a snapsnot is one situation where update_refcount() is called outside of a cluster allocation. For this case, the change fixes a buffer overflow if a cluster is referenced in an L2 table that cannot be represented by an existing refcount block.

qcow2_open() causes writes when repairing an image with the dirty flag set and when clearing autoclear flags. It shouldn't do this when another qemu instance is still actively working on this image file. One effect of the bug is that images may have a cleared dirty flag while the migration source host still has it in use with lazy refcounts enabled, so refcounts are not accurate and the dirty flag must remain set.

2014-03-13block: Update image size in bdrv_invalidate_cache()Kevin Wolf1-0/+2
After migration has completed, we call bdrv_invalidate_cache() so that drivers which cache some data drop their stale copy of the data and reread it from the image file to get a new version of data that the source modified while the migration was running. Reloading metadata from the image file is useless, though, if the size of the image file stays stale (this is a value that is cached for all image formats in block.c). Reads from (meta)data after the old EOF return only zeroes, causing image corruption. We need to update bs->total_sectors in all layers that could potentially have changed their size (i.e. backing files are not a concern - if they are changed, we're in bigger trouble) Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

2013-10-28qcow2: Flush image after creationMax Reitz1-0/+10
Opening the qcow2 image with BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH prevents any flushes during the image creation. This means that the image has not yet been flushed to disk when qemu-img create exits. This flush is delayed until the next operation on the image involving opening it without BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH and closing (or directly flushing) it. For large images and/or images with a small cluster size and preallocated metadata, this flush may take a significant amount of time and may occur unexpectedly. Reopening the image without BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH right before the end of qcow2_create2() results in hoisting the potentially costly flush into the image creation, which is expected to take some time (whereas successive image operations may be not).

Since df2a6f29a5, bdrv_co_do_writev increases the total_sectors value of a growable block devices on writes after the current end. This leads to the virtual disk apparently growing in qcow2_save_vmstate, which in turn affects the disk size captured by the internal snapshot taken directly afterwards through e.g. the HMP savevm command. Such a "grown" snapshot cannot be loaded after reopening the qcow2 image, since its disk size differs from the actual virtual disk size (writing a VM state does not actually increase the virtual disk size).
