      mirror: add support for on-source-error/on-target-error · b952b558
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      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.
      
      The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be
      retried later.  Thus, it will not cause corruption.

      mirror: implement completion · d63ffd87
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      Switching to the target of the migration is done mostly asynchronously,
      and reported to management via the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event; the only
      synchronous phase is opening the backing files.  bdrv_open_backing_file
      can always be done, even for migration of the full image (aka sync:
      'full').  In this case, qmp_drive_mirror will create the target disk
      with no backing file at all, and bdrv_open_backing_file will be a no-op.

      mirror: introduce mirror job · 893f7eba
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      This patch adds the implementation of a new job that mirrors a disk to
      a new image while letting the guest continue using the old image.
      The target is treated as a "black box" and data is copied from the
      source to the target in the background.  This can be used for several
      purposes, including storage migration, continuous replication, and
      observation of the guest I/O in an external program.  It is also a
      first step in replacing the inefficient block migration code that is
      part of QEMU.
      
      The job is possibly never-ending, but it is logically structured into
      two phases: 1) copy all data as fast as possible until the target
      first gets in sync with the source; 2) keep target in sync and
      ensure that reopening to the target gets a correct (full) copy
      of the source data.
      
      The second phase is indicated by the progress in "info block-jobs"
      reporting the current offset to be equal to the length of the file.
      When the job is cancelled in the second phase, QEMU will run the
      job until the source is clean and quiescent, then it will report
      successful completion of the job.
      
      In other words, the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event means that the target
      may _not_ be consistent with a past state of the source; the
      BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event means that the target is consistent with
      a past state of the source.  (Note that it could already happen
      that management lost the race against QEMU and got a completion
      event instead of cancellation).
      
      It is not yet possible to complete the job and switch over to the target
      disk.  The next patches will fix this and add many refinements to the
      basic idea introduced here.  These include improved error management,
      some tunable knobs and performance optimizations.
