2020-05-28qemu-img: Add convert --bitmaps optionEric Blake1-2/+2
Make it easier to copy all the persistent bitmaps of (the top layer of) a source image along with its guest-visible contents, by adding a boolean flag for use with qemu-img convert. This is basically shorthand, as the same effect could be accomplished with a series of 'qemu-img bitmap --add' and 'qemu-img bitmap --merge -b source' commands, or by their corresponding QMP commands. Note that this command will fail in the same scenarios where 'qemu-img measure' omits a 'bitmaps size:' line, namely, when either the source or the destination lacks persistent bitmap support altogether. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1779893 While touching this, clean up a couple coding issues spotted in the same function: an extra blank line, and merging back-to-back 'if (!skip_create)' blocks.

2020-05-19qemu-img: Add bitmap sub-commandEric Blake1-0/+7
Include actions for --add, --remove, --clear, --enable, --disable, and --merge (note that --clear is a bit of fluff, because the same can be accomplished by removing a bitmap and then adding a new one in its place, but it matches what QMP commands exist). Listing is omitted, because it does not require a bitmap name and because it was already possible with 'qemu-img info'. A single command line can play one or more bitmap commands in sequence on the same bitmap name (although all added bitmaps share the same granularity, and and all merged bitmaps come from the same source file). Merge defaults to other bitmaps in the primary image, but can also be told to merge bitmaps from a distinct image. While this supports --image-opts for the file being modified, I did not think it worth the extra complexity to support that for the source file in a cross-file merges. Likewise, I chose to have --merge only take a single source rather than following the QMP support for multiple merges in one go (although you can still use more than one --merge in the command line); in part because qemu-img is offline and therefore atomicity is not an issue. Upcoming patches will add iotest coverage of these commands while also testing other features.

It turns out that having options listed in three places continues to be a bad idea. I'm still toying with the idea of an improved infrastructure here, but in the meantime, another bandaid. There are three locations: (1) .hx file, formatted as texi (2) .hx file, formatted as human readable. (3) .texi file, as section headers, formatted as texi. You can compare the two summaries within the .hx file like so: Human-readable command summaries: `./qemu-img --help | grep 'Command syntax' -A14` Detokenized texi command summaries: `grep "@item" qemu-img-cmds.hx | sed -E 's|@var\{([^\}]*?)\}|\1|g'` You can compare the two separate texi summaries like so: Texi command summaries: `grep "@item" qemu-img-cmds.hx"` Texi command headers: grep -E "@item.*@var" qemu-img.texi | tail -14 Signed-off-by: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Message-id: 20190409210655.777-1-jsnow@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

2017-07-18qemu-img: Check for backing image if specified during createJohn Snow1-2/+2
Or, rather, force the open of a backing image if one was specified for creation. Using a similar -unsafe option as rebase, allow qemu-img to ignore the backing file validation if possible. It may not always be possible, as in the existing case when a filesize for the new image was not specified. This is accomplished by shifting around the conditionals in bdrv_img_create, such that a backing file is always opened unless we provide BDRV_O_NO_BACKING. qemu-img is adjusted to pass this new flag when -u is provided to create. Sorry for the heinous looking diffstat, but it's mostly whitespace.

2017-02-28qemu-img: make convert asyncPeter Lieven1-2/+2
the convert process is currently completely implemented with sync operations. That means it reads one buffer and then writes it. No parallelism and each sync request takes as long as it takes until it is completed. This can be a big performance hit when the convert process reads and writes to devices which do not benefit from kernel readahead or pagecache. In our environment we heavily have the following two use cases when using qemu-img convert. a) reading from NFS and writing to iSCSI for deploying templates b) reading from iSCSI and writing to NFS for backups In both processes we use libiscsi and libnfs so we have no kernel cache. This patch changes the convert process to work with parallel running coroutines which can significantly improve performance for network storage devices: qemu-img (master) nfs -> iscsi 22.8 secs nfs -> ram 11.7 secs ram -> iscsi 12.3 secs qemu-img-async (8 coroutines, in-order write disabled) nfs -> iscsi 11.0 secs nfs -> ram 10.4 secs ram -> iscsi 9.0 secs This patches introduces 2 new cmdline parameters. The -m parameter to specify the number of coroutines running in parallel (defaults to 8). And the -W parameter to allow qemu-img to write to the target out of order rather than sequential. This improves performance as the writes do not have to wait for each other to complete. Signed-off-by: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

Many qemu-img subcommands only read the source file(s) once. For these use cases, a full write-back cache is unnecessary and mainly clutters host cache memory. Though this is generally no concern as cache memory is freely available and can be scaled by the host OS, it may become a concern with thin provisioning. For these cases, it makes sense to allow users to freely specify the source cache mode (e.g. use no cache at all).
