2013-06-28block: add drive-backup QMP commandStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+97
@drive-backup Start a point-in-time copy of a block device to a new destination. The status of ongoing drive-backup operations can be checked with query-block-jobs where the BlockJobInfo.type field has the value 'backup'. The operation can be stopped before it has completed using the block-job-cancel command. @device: the name of the device which should be copied. @target: the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a device, the existing file/device will be used as the new destination. If it does not exist, a new file will be created. @format: #optional the format of the new destination, default is to probe if @mode is 'existing', else the format of the source @mode: #optional whether and how QEMU should create a new image, default is 'absolute-paths'. @speed: #optional the maximum speed, in bytes per second @on-source-error: #optional the action to take on an error on the source, default 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used if the block device supports io-status (see BlockInfo). @on-target-error: #optional the action to take on an error on the target, default 'report' (no limitations, since this applies to a different block device than @device). Note that @on-source-error and @on-target-error only affect background I/O. If an error occurs during a guest write request, the device's rerror/werror actions will be used. Returns: nothing on success If @device is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound Since 1.6 Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2013-06-28blockdev: drop redundant proto_drv checkStefan Hajnoczi1-15/+0
It is not necessary to check that we can find a protocol block driver since we create or open the image file. This produces the error that we need anyway. Besides, the QERR_INVALID_BLOCK_FORMAT is inappropriate since the protocol is incorrect rather than the format. Also drop an empty line between bdrv_open() and checking its return value. This may be due to copy-pasting from earlier code that performed other operations before handling errors.

2013-06-05blockdev: reset werror/rerror on drive_delStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+4
Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> suggested the following test case: 1. Launch a guest and wait at the GRUB boot menu: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 \ -drive if=none,cache=none,file=test.img,id=foo,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=foo,id=virtio0,addr=4 2. Hot unplug the device: (qemu) drive_del foo 3. Select the first boot menu entry Without this patch the guest pauses due to ENOMEDIUM. The guest is stuck in a continuous pause loop since the I/O request is retried and fails immediately again when the guest is resumed. With this patch the error is reported to the guest. Note that this scenario actually happens sometimes during libvirt disk hot unplug, where device_del is followed by drive_del. I/O may still be submitted to the drive after drive_del if the guest does not process the PCI hot unplug notification.

2013-06-04block: add block driver read only whitelistFam Zheng1-2/+2
We may want to include a driver in the whitelist for read only tasks such as diagnosing or exporting guest data (with libguestfs as a good example). This patch introduces a readonly whitelist option, and for backward compatibility, the old configure option --block-drv-whitelist is now an alias to rw whitelist. Drivers in readonly list is only permitted to open file readonly, and returns -ENOTSUP for RW opening. E.g. To include vmdk readonly, and others read+write: ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu \ --block-drv-rw-whitelist=qcow2,raw,file,qed \ --block-drv-ro-whitelist=vmdk Signed-off-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2013-03-22block: Allow omitting the file name when using driver-specific optionsKevin Wolf1-3/+7
After this patch, using -drive with an empty file name continues to open the file if driver-specific options are used. If no driver-specific options are specified, the semantics stay as it was: It defines a drive without an inserted medium. In order to achieve this, bdrv_open() must be made safe to work with a NULL filename parameter. The assumption that is made is that only block drivers which implement bdrv_parse_filename() support using driver specific options and could therefore work without a filename. These drivers must make sure to cope with NULL in their implementation of .bdrv_open() (this is only NBD for now). For all other drivers, the block layer code will make sure to error out before calling into their code - they can't possibly work without a filename. Now an NBD connection can be opened like this: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=nbd,file.port=1234,file.host=::1 Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

The do_check_io_limits() function returns false when I/O limits are invalid but it doesn't set an Error to indicate why. The two do_check_io_limits() callers duplicate error reporting. Solve this by passing an Error pointer into do_check_io_limits(). Note that the two callers report slightly different errors: drive_init() prints a custom error message while qmp_block_set_io_throttle() does error_set(errp, QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_COMBINATION). QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_COMBINATION is a generic error, see include/qapi/qmp/qerror.h: #define QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_COMBINATION \ ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR, "Invalid parameter combination" Since it is generic we are not obliged to keep this error. Switch to the custom error message which contains more information. This patch prepares for adding additional checks with their own error messages to do_check_io_limits().

2013-01-25mirror: perform COW if the cluster size is bigger than the granularityPaolo Bonzini1-12/+3
When mirroring runs, the backing files for the target may not yet be ready. However, this means that a copy-on-write operation on the target would fill the missing sectors with zeros. Copy-on-write only happens if the granularity of the dirty bitmap is smaller than the cluster size (and only for clusters that are allocated in the source after the job has started copying). So far, the granularity was fixed to 1MB; to avoid the problem we detected the situation and required the backing files to be available in that case only. However, we want to lower the granularity for efficiency, so we need a better solution. The solution is to always copy a whole cluster the first time it is touched. The code keeps a bitmap of clusters that have already been allocated by the mirroring job, and only does "manual" copy-on-write if the chunk being copied is zero in the bitmap.

2012-12-11Support default block interfaces per QEMUMachineChristian Borntraeger1-2/+2
There are QEMUMachines that have neither IF_IDE nor IF_SCSI as a default/standard interface to their block devices / drives. Therefore, this patch introduces a new field default_block_type per QEMUMachine struct. The prior use_scsi field becomes thereby obsolete and is replaced through .default_block_type = IF_SCSI. This patch also changes the default for s390x to IF_VIRTIO and removes an early hack that converts IF_IDE drives. Other parties have already claimed interest (e.g. IF_SD for exynos) To create a sane default, for machines that dont specify a default_block_type, this patch makes IF_IDE = 0 and IF_NONE = 1. I checked all users of IF_NONE (blockdev.c and ww/device-hotplug.c) as well as IF_IDE and it seems that it is ok to change the defines - in other words, I found no obvious (to me) assumption in the code regarding IF_NONE==0. IF_NONE is only set if there is an explicit if=none. Without if=* the interface becomes IF_DEFAULT. I would suggest to have some additional care, e.g. by letting this patch sit some days in the block tree.

Error management is important for mirroring; otherwise, an error on the target (even something as "innocent" as ENOSPC) requires to start again with a full copy. Similar to on_read_error/on_write_error, two separate knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes). The default is 'report' for both.
