      block: add .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface · f08f2dda
      Stefan Hajnoczi 提交于
      The ability to zero regions of an image file is a useful primitive for
      higher-level features such as image streaming or zero write detection.
      
      Image formats may support an optimized metadata representation instead
      of writing zeroes into the image file.  This allows zero writes to be
      potentially faster than regular write operations and also preserve
      sparseness of the image file.
      
      The .bdrv_co_write_zeroes() interface should be implemented by block
      drivers that wish to provide efficient zeroing.
      
      Note that this operation is different from the discard operation, which
      may leave the contents of the region indeterminate.  That means
      discarded blocks are not guaranteed to contain zeroes and may contain
      junk data instead.

      block: make copy-on-read a per-request flag · 470c0504
      Stefan Hajnoczi 提交于
      Previously copy-on-read could only be enabled for all requests to a
      block device.  This means requests coming from the guest as well as
      QEMU's internal requests would perform copy-on-read when enabled.
      
      For image streaming we want to support finer-grained behavior than just
      populating the image file from its backing image.  Image streaming
      supports partial streaming where a common backing image is preserved.
      In this case guest requests should not perform copy-on-read because they
      would indiscriminately copy data which should be left in a backing image
      from the backing chain.
      
      Introduce a per-request flag for copy-on-read so that a block device can
      process both regular and copy-on-read requests.  Overlapping reads and
      writes still need to be serialized for correctness when copy-on-read is
      happening, so add an in-flight reference count to track this.

      block: allow migration to work with image files (v3) · 0f15423c
      Anthony Liguori 提交于
      Image files have two types of data: immutable data that describes things like
      image size, backing files, etc. and mutable data that includes offset and
      reference count tables.
      
      Today, image formats aggressively cache mutable data to improve performance.  In
      some cases, this happens before a guest even starts.  When dealing with live
      migration, since a file is open on two machines, the caching of meta data can
      lead to data corruption.
      
      This patch addresses this by introducing a mechanism to invalidate any cached
      mutable data a block driver may have which is then used by the live migration
      code.
      
      NB, this still requires coherent shared storage.  Addressing migration without
      coherent shared storage (i.e. NFS) requires additional work.

      block: add eject request callback · 025ccaa7
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel
      can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on
      discs that aren't mounted.  Add support for these events in the ATAPI
      and SCSI cd drive device models.
      
      To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also
      be added for "tray opened/closed".  This way, after issuing an "eject"
      command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the
      command.  They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been
      opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout.  However,
      with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models,
      at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.

      block: Keep track of devices' I/O status · 28a7282a
      Luiz Capitulino 提交于
      This commit adds support to the BlockDriverState type to keep track
      of devices' I/O status.
      
      There are three possible status: BDRV_IOS_OK (no error), BDRV_IOS_ENOSPC
      (no space error) and BDRV_IOS_FAILED (any other error). The distinction
      between no space and other errors is important because a management
      application may want to watch for no space in order to extend the
      space assigned to the VM and put it to run again.
      
      Qemu devices supporting the I/O status feature have to enable it
      explicitly by calling bdrv_iostatus_enable() _and_ have to be
      configured to stop the VM on errors (ie. werror=stop|enospc or
      rerror=stop).
      
      In case of multiple errors being triggered in sequence only the first
      one is stored. The I/O status is always reset to BDRV_IOS_OK when the
      'cont' command is issued.
      
      Next commits will add support to some devices and extend the
      query-block/info block commands to return the I/O status information.

      block: explicit I/O accounting · a597e79c
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Decouple the I/O accounting from bdrv_aio_readv/writev/flush and
      make the hardware models call directly into the accounting helpers.
      
      This means:
       - we do not count internal requests from image formats in addition
         to guest originating I/O
       - we do not double count I/O ops if the device model handles it
         chunk wise
       - we only account I/O once it actuall is done
       - can extent I/O accounting to synchronous or coroutine I/O easily
       - implement I/O latency tracking easily (see the next patch)
      
      I've conveted the existing device model callers to the new model,
      device models that are using synchronous I/O and weren't accounted
      before haven't been updated yet.  Also scsi hasn't been converted
      to the end-to-end accounting as I want to defer that after the pending
      scsi layer overhaul.
