2024-03-19Revert "chardev: use a child source for qio input source"Daniel P. Berrangé1-5/+51
This reverts commit a7077b8e354d90fec26c2921aa2dea85b90dff90, and add comments to explain why child sources cannot be used. When a GSource is added as a child of another GSource, if its 'prepare' function indicates readiness, then the parent's 'prepare' function will never be run. The io_watch_poll_prepare absolutely *must* be run on every iteration of the main loop, to ensure that the chardev backend doesn't feed data to the frontend that it is unable to consume. At the time a7077b8e354d90fec26c2921aa2dea85b90dff90 was made, all the child GSource impls were relying on poll'ing an FD, so their 'prepare' functions would never indicate readiness ahead of poll() being invoked. So the buggy behaviour was not noticed and lay dormant. Relatively recently the QIOChannelTLS impl introduced a level 2 child GSource, which checks with GNUTLS whether it has cached any data that was decoded but not yet consumed: commit ffda5db65aef42266a5053a4be34515106c4c7ee Author: Antoine Damhet <antoine.damhet@shadow.tech> Date: Tue Nov 15 15:23:29 2022 +0100 io/channel-tls: fix handling of bigger read buffers Since the TLS backend can read more data from the underlying QIOChannel we introduce a minimal child GSource to notify if we still have more data available to be read. Signed-off-by: Antoine Damhet <antoine.damhet@shadow.tech> Signed-off-by: Charles Frey <charles.frey@shadow.tech> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> With this, it is now quite common for the 'prepare' function on a QIOChannelTLS GSource to indicate immediate readiness, bypassing the parent GSource 'prepare' function. IOW, the critical 'io_watch_poll_prepare' is being skipped on some iterations of the main loop. As a result chardev frontend asserts are now being triggered as they are fed data they are not ready to consume. A reproducer is as follows: * In terminal 1 run a GNUTLS *echo* server $ gnutls-serv --echo \ --x509cafile ca-cert.pem \ --x509keyfile server-key.pem \ --x509certfile server-cert.pem \ -p 9000 * In terminal 2 run a QEMU guest $ qemu-system-s390x \ -nodefaults \ -display none \ -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$PWD,endpoint=client \ -chardev socket,id=con0,host=localhost,port=9000,tls-creds=tls0 \ -device sclpconsole,chardev=con0 \ -hda Fedora-Cloud-Base-39-1.5.s390x.qcow2 After the previous patch revert, but before this patch revert, this scenario will crash: qemu-system-s390x: ../hw/char/sclpconsole.c:73: chr_read: Assertion `size <= SIZE_BUFFER_VT220 - scon->iov_data_len' failed. This assert indicates that 'tcp_chr_read' was called without 'tcp_chr_read_poll' having first been checked for ability to receive more data QEMU's use of a 'prepare' function to create/delete another GSource is rather a hack and not normally the kind of thing that is expected to be done by a GSource. There is no mechanism to force GLib to always run the 'prepare' function of a parent GSource. The best option is to simply not use the child source concept, and go back to the functional approach previously relied on.

2022-05-16QIOChannel: Add flags on io_writev and introduce io_flush callbackLeonardo Bras1-1/+1
Add flags to io_writev and introduce io_flush as optional callback to QIOChannelClass, allowing the implementation of zero copy writes by subclasses. How to use them: - Write data using qio_channel_writev*(...,QIO_CHANNEL_WRITE_FLAG_ZERO_COPY), - Wait write completion with qio_channel_flush(). Notes: As some zero copy write implementations work asynchronously, it's recommended to keep the write buffer untouched until the return of qio_channel_flush(), to avoid the risk of sending an updated buffer instead of the buffer state during write. As io_flush callback is optional, if a subclass does not implement it, then: - io_flush will return 0 without changing anything. Also, some functions like qio_channel_writev_full_all() were adapted to receive a flag parameter. That allows shared code between zero copy and non-zero copy writev, and also an easier implementation on new flags. Signed-off-by: Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2017-05-03char: Fix removing wrong GSource that be found by fd_in_tagzhanghailiang1-15/+8
We use fd_in_tag to find a GSource, fd_in_tag is return value of g_source_attach(GSource *source, GMainContext *context), the return value is unique only in the same context, so we may get the same values with different 'context' parameters. It is no problem to find the right fd_in_tag by using g_main_context_find_source_by_id(GMainContext *context, guint source_id) while there is only one default main context. But colo-compare tries to create/use its own context, and if we pass wrong 'context' parameter with right fd_in_tag, we will find a wrong GSource to handle. We tried to fix the related codes in commit b43decb015a6efeb9e3cdbdb80f6547ad7248a4c, but it didn't fix the bug completely, because we still have some codes didn't pass *right* context parameter for remove_fd_in_watch(). Let's fix it by record the GSource directly instead of fd_in_tag.

2017-03-06char: remove the right fd been watched in qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers()zhanghailiang1-4/+4
We can call qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers() to add/remove fd been watched in 'context' which can be either default main context or other explicit context. But the original logic is not correct, we didn't remove the right fd because we call g_main_context_find_source_by_id(NULL, tag) which always try to find the Gsource from default context. Fix it by passing the right context to g_main_context_find_source_by_id().
