2012-08-02Support 'help' as a synonym for '?' in command line optionsPeter Maydell1-5/+5
For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting the check out into a helper function. This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?". Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?' is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there is a single character filename in the current working directory and the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility. We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help (or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the -help text too.

2012-07-17blockdev: Don't limit DriveInfo serial to 20 charactersMarkus Armbruster1-3/+1
All current users (IDE, SCSI and virtio-blk) happen to share this 20 characters limit. Still, it should be left to device models. They already enforce their limits. They have to, as the DriveInfo limit only affects legacy -drive serial=..., not the qdev properties. usb-storage, which doesn't limit serial number length, also uses DriveInfo for -usbdevice. But that doesn't provide access to DriveInfo serial. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2012-07-17block: Geometry and translation hints are now useless, purge themMarkus Armbruster1-12/+2
There are two producers of these hints: drive_init() on behalf of -drive, and hd_geometry_guess(). The only consumer of the hint is hd_geometry_guess(). The callers of hd_geometry_guess() call it only when drive_init() didn't set the hints. Therefore, drive_init()'s hints are never used. Thus, hd_geometry_guess() only ever sees hints it produced itself in a prior call. Only the first call computes something, subsequent calls just repeat the first call's results. However, hd_geometry_guess() is never called more than once: the device models don't, and the block device is destroyed on unplug. Thus, dropping the repeat feature doesn't break anything now. If a block device wasn't destroyed on unplug and could be reused with a new device, then repeating old results would be wrong. Thus, dropping the repeat feature prevents future breakage. This renders the hints unused. Purge them from the block layer. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2012-06-04qemu-option: qemu_opts_create(): use error_set()Luiz Capitulino1-1/+1
This commit converts qemu_opts_create() from qerror_report() to error_set(). Currently, most calls to qemu_opts_create() can't fail, so most callers don't need any changes. The two cases where code checks for qemu_opts_create() erros are: 1. Initialization code in vl.c. All of them print their own error messages directly to stderr, no need to pass the Error object 2. The functions opts_parse(), qemu_opts_from_qdict() and qemu_chr_parse_compat() make use of the error information and they can be called from HMP or QMP. In this case, to allow for incremental conversion, we propagate the error up using qerror_report_err(), which keeps the QError semantics Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>

2012-04-27block: use Error mechanism instead of -errno for block_job_create()Stefan Hajnoczi1-11/+5
The block job API uses -errno return values internally and we convert these to Error in the QMP functions. This is ugly because the Error should be created at the point where we still have all the relevant information. More importantly, it is hard to add new error cases to this case since we quickly run out of -errno values without losing information. Go ahead and use Error directly and don't convert later.

2012-03-12block: handle -EBUSY in bdrv_commit_all()Stefan Hajnoczi1-3/+6
Monitor operations that manipulate image files must not execute while a background job (like image streaming) is in progress. This prevents corruptions from happening when two pieces of code are manipulating the image file without knowledge of each other. The monitor "commit" command raises QERR_DEVICE_IN_USE when bdrv_commit() returns -EBUSY but "commit all" has no error handling. This is easy to fix, although note that we do not deliver a detailed error about which device was busy in the "commit all" case.

2012-02-29qapi: Introduce blockdev-group-snapshot-sync commandJeff Cody1-0/+131
This is a QAPI/QMP only command to take a snapshot of a group of devices. This is similar to the blockdev-snapshot-sync command, except blockdev-group-snapshot-sync accepts a list devices, filenames, and formats. It is attempted to keep the snapshot of the group atomic; if the creation or open of any of the new snapshots fails, then all of the new snapshots are abandoned, and the name of the snapshot image that failed is returned. The failure case should not interrupt any operations. Rather than use bdrv_close() along with a subsequent bdrv_open() to perform the pivot, the original image is never closed and the new image is placed 'in front' of the original image via manipulation of the BlockDriverState fields. Thus, once the new snapshot image has been successfully created, there are no more failure points before pivoting to the new snapshot. This allows the group of disks to remain consistent with each other, even across snapshot failures.

2012-01-26blockdev: make image streaming safe across hotplugStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+38
Unplugging a storage interface like virtio-blk causes the host block device to be deleted too. Long-running operations like block migration must take a DriveInfo reference to prevent the BlockDriverState from being freed. For image streaming we can do the same thing. Note that it is not possible to acquire/release the drive reference in block.c where the block job functions live because drive_get_ref()/drive_put_ref() are blockdev.c functions. Calling them from block.c would be a layering violation - tools like qemu-img don't even link against blockdev.c.

2011-12-06qapi: Convert blockdev_snapshot_syncLuiz Capitulino1-32/+17
Unfortunately, this conversion required an additional change. In the old QMP command, the 'snapshot-file' argument is specified as optional. The idea is to take the snapshot internally if 'snapshot-file' is not passed. However, internal snapshots are not supported yet so the command returns a MissingParamater error if 'snapshot-file' is not passed. Which makes the argument actually required and will cause compatibility breakage if we change that in the future. To fix this the QAPI converted blockdev_snapshot_sync command makes the 'snapshot-file' argument required. Again, in practice it's actually required, so this is not incompatible. If we do implement internal snapshots someday, we'll need a new argument for it. Note that this discussion doesn't affect HMP. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>

2011-11-11block: add eject request callbackPaolo Bonzini1-4/+6
Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on discs that aren't mounted. Add support for these events in the ATAPI and SCSI cd drive device models. To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also be added for "tray opened/closed". This way, after issuing an "eject" command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the command. They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout. However, with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models, at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.

2011-09-12block: Clean up remaining users of "removable"Markus Armbruster1-1/+1
BlockDriverState member removable is a confused mess. It is true when an ide-cd, scsi-cd or floppy qdev is attached, or when the BlockDriverState was created with -drive if={floppy,sd} or -drive if={ide,scsi,xen,none},media=cdrom ("created removable"), except when an ide-hd, scsi-hd, scsi-generic or virtio-blk qdev is attached. Three users remain: 1. eject_device(), via bdrv_is_removable() uses it to determine whether a block device can eject media. 2. bdrv_info() is monitor command "info block". QMP documentation says "true if the device is removable, false otherwise". From the monitor user's point of view, the only sensible interpretation of "is removable" is "can eject media with monitor commands eject and change". A block device can eject media unless a device is attached that doesn't support it. Switch the two users over to new bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() that returns exactly that. 3. bdrv_getlength() uses to suppress its length cache when media can change (see commit 46a4e4e6). Media change is either monitor command change (updates the length cache), monitor command eject (doesn't update the length cache, easily fixable), or physical media change (invalidates length cache, not so easily fixable). I'm refraining from improving anything here, because this series is long enough already. Instead, I simply switch it over to bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() as well. This changes the behavior of the length cache and of monitor commands eject and change in two cases: a. drive not created removable, no device attached The commit makes the drive removable, and defeats the length cache. Example: -drive if=none b. drive created removable, but the attached drive is non-removable, and doesn't call bdrv_set_removable(..., 0) (most devices don't) The commit makes the drive non-removable, and enables the length cache. Example: -drive if=xen,media=cdrom -M xenpv The other non-removable devices that don't call bdrv_set_removable() can't currently use a drive created removable, either because they aren't qdevified, or because they lack a drive property. Won't stay that way. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
