Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized.
First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing
and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten?
bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there
is snapshots or not.
Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or
not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image.
So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global
BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots().
static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void)
{
BlockDriverState *bs;
DriveInfo *dinfo;
if (bs_snapshots)
return bs_snapshots;
QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
bs = dinfo->bdrv;
if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs))
goto ok;
}
return NULL;
ok:
bs_snapshots = bs;
return bs;
}
bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support
snapshots and do_savevm() goes on.
Later on in do_savevm(), we find:
QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
bs1 = dinfo->bdrv;
if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) {
/* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */
sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0);
ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn);
if (ret < 0) {
monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n",
bdrv_get_device_name(bs1));
}
}
}
bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has
snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is
actually checked for snapshot support.
So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not,
the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good
behavior. It should be an all or nothing process.
This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do
what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of
do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot()
where appropriate.
bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me.
The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at
least all writable devices must support snapshots too.

When snapshot handlers are not defined in the format driver, it is
better to call the ones of the protocol driver. This enables us to
implement snapshot support in the protocol driver.
We need to call bdrv_close() and bdrv_open() handlers of the format
driver before and after bdrv_snapshot_goto() call of the protocol. It is
because the contents of the block driver state may need to be changed

into the wr_highest_sector field of the parent (which can be a file, a

callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file

bdrv_open contains quite some code that is only useful for opening images (as
opposed to opening files by a protocol), for example snapshots.

We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.
This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.
The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.
For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.
The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation. Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img. I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.
There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.
Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.
Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin

BDRV_O_FILE is only used to communicate between bdrv_file_open and bdrv_open.
It affects two things: first bdrv_open only searches for protocols using
find_protocol instead of all image formats and host drivers. We can easily
move that to the caller and pass the found driver to bdrv_open. Second
it is used to not force a read-write open of a snapshot file. But we never
use bdrv_file_open to open snapshots and this behaviour doesn't make sense
to start with.
qemu-io abused the BDRV_O_FILE for it's growable option, switch it to

If a whitelist is configured with --block-drv-whitelist, QEMU proper

Drivers for formats off the whitelist still participate in format
probing, to ensure all programs probe exactly the same. Without that,

One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.
Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can

Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.
This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.
To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the
drive command line. I have also added an option to qemu-io to
test the aio support without needing a guest.

Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon because
qemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, is
interpreted as a protocol by name "scsi".
This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above
filename can now be expressed either as 'scsi\:0' or as file:scsi:0
anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:"
tag is omitted then any colon characters in the string must be escaped using
backslash.
Here are couple of examples:
scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
http\://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb
file:scsi:0:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc

this patch adds a buffer_alignment field to BlockDriverState and
implements a qemu_blockalign function that uses that field to allocate a

buffer_alignment is initialized to 512 but each block driver can set
a different value (at the moment none of them do).
This patch modifies ide.c, block-qcow.c, block-qcow2.c and block.c to
use qemu_blockalign instead of qemu_memalign.
There is only one place left that still uses qemu_memalign to allocate
buffers used by block drivers that is posix-aio-compat:handle_aiocb_rw
because it is not possible to get the BlockDriverState from that

Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.
I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom
devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an
example.
Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than
bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous
requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple.
Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction
and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy
enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough
on a non-Linux OS.
Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest
to a host CDROM device.

When a scsi device is backed by a scsi generic device instead of an
ordinary host block device, the block API is abused in a couple of annoying
ways:
- nb_sectors is negative, and specifies a byte count instead of a sector count
- offset is ignored, since scsi-generic is essentially a packet protocol
This overloading makes hacking the block layer difficult. Remove it by
introducing a new explicit API for scsi-generic devices. The new API
is still backed by the old implementation, but at least the users are
insulated.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

I went through Fabrice's early comments about the patch that was first applied.
While I disagree with that patch, I also disagree with Fabrice's suggestion.
There's no good reason to do the checks in the block drivers themselves. It
just increases the possibility that this bug could show up again. Since we're
calling bdrv_getlength() to determine the length, we're giving the block drivers
a chance to chime in and let us know what range is valid.

For example when the highest allocation is high (almost end-of-disk), but

N.B. we don't actually use this now. We really should flush the block drivers
using an live savevm callback to avoid unnecessary guest down time.

This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations. It's
only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch.
Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend.
For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must
support registration. This patch introduces a new function,
qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be
called back. qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered
with this function until one becomes readable or writable.
This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a
thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices
(like NBD).

Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the
code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for
linking against qemu and the tools.
This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for
qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects.
This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also
changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since
we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to
#if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows.
After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and
qemu-nbd.

realpath will horribly mangle a protocol so avoid calling it if the backing
file is a protocol.

OpenBSD doesn't use AIO so don't try to build compatfd when not using AIO.
Also make sure to call qemu_aio_init() from bdrv_init. Everything that uses
bdrv calls bdrv_init so it makes sense to init aio from there instead of
in every single tool.

This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in
checking for AIO completions. For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we
emulate it with threads.
There was a long discussion about this approach. I don't believe there are any
fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of
signals is a good thing.
I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests. I've also checked
for disk IO performance regressions.

Right now, the Windows build is broken because of NBD. Using a mingw32 cross
compiler is also badly broken.
This patch fixes the Windows build by stubbing out NBD support until someone
fixes it for Windows. It also santizing the mingw32 cross compiler support
by replacing the --enable-mingw32 option with a compiler check to determine
if we're on windows or not.
Also remove the weird SDL pseudo-detection for mingw32 using a cross compiler.
The hardcoded sdl-config name is seemly arbitrary. If you cross compiler SDL
correctly and modify your PATH variable appropriately, it will Just Work when
cross compiling.
The audio driver detection is also broken for cross compiling so you have to
specify the audio drivers explicitly for now.

Qemu 0.9.1 and earlier does not perform range checks for block device
read or write requests, which allows guest host users with root
privileges to access arbitrary memory and escape the virtual machine.
