2021-02-08migration: introduce snapshot-{save, load, delete} QMP commandsDaniel P. Berrangé1-1/+8
savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics around choice of disks were ill-defined. Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the "human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to all real world usage. Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using QAPI modelling is highly desirable. This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new commands are given different names, because they will be using the new QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name. While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later. None the less applications using these new commands should assume that they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to indicate completion. In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use. Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query what snapshots currently exist for block nodes. Acked-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2020-08-03schemas: Add vim modelineAndrea Bolognani1-0/+1
The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON. As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors in, well, pretty much everything. Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files. This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20200729185024.121766-1-abologna@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2020-02-15qapi: Fix indent level on doc comments in json filesPeter Maydell1-16/+16
The current doc generation doesn't care much about indentation levels, but we would like to switch to an rST format, and rST does care about indentation. Make the doc comments more strongly consistent about indentation for multiline constructs like: @arg: description line 1 description line 2 Returns: line one line 2 so that there is always exactly one space after the colon, and subsequent lines align with the first. This commit is a purely whitespace change, and it does not alter the generated .texi files (because the texi generation code strips away all the extra whitespace). This does mean that we end up with some over-length lines. Note that when the documentation for an argument fits on a single line like this: @arg: one line only then stray extra spaces after the ':' don't affect the rST output, so I have not attempted to methodically fix them, though the preference is a single space here too.

2018-05-30block/create: Make x-blockdev-create a jobKevin Wolf1-1/+3
This changes the x-blockdev-create QMP command so that it doesn't block the monitor and the main loop any more, but starts a background job that performs the image creation. The basic job as implemented here is all that is necessary to make image creation asynchronous and to provide a QMP interface that can be marked stable, but it still lacks a few features that jobs usually provide: The job will ignore pause commands and it doesn't publish more than very basic progress yet (total-progress is 1 and current-progress advances from 0 to 1 when the driver callbacks returns). These features can be added later without breaking compatibility. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>
