Both NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS and structured NBD_CMD_READ will split their reply according to bdrv_block_status() boundaries. If the block device has a request_alignment smaller than 512, but we advertise a block alignment of 512 to the client, then this can result in the server reply violating client expectations by reporting a smaller region of the export than what the client is permitted to address (although this is less of an issue for qemu 4.0 clients, given recent client patches to overlook our non-compliance at EOF). Since it's always better to be strict in what we send, it is worth advertising the actual minimum block limit rather than blindly rounding it up to 512. Note that this patch is not foolproof - it is still possible to provoke non-compliant server behavior using: $ qemu-nbd --image-opts driver=blkdebug,align=512,image.driver=file,image.filename=/path/to/non-aligned-file That is arguably a bug in the blkdebug driver (it should never pass back block status smaller than its alignment, even if it has to make multiple bdrv_get_status calls and determine the least-common-denominator status among the group to return). It may also be possible to observe issues with a backing layer with smaller alignment than the active layer, although so far I have been unable to write a reliable iotest for that scenario (but again, an issue like that could be argued to be a bug in the block layer, or something where we need a flag to bdrv_block_status() to state whether the result must be aligned to the current layer's limits or can be subdivided for accuracy when chasing backing files). Anyways, as blkdebug is not normally used, and as this patch makes our server more interoperable with qemu 3.1 clients, it is worth applying now, even while we still work on a larger patch series for the 4.1 timeframe to have byte-accurate file lengths. Note that the iotests output changes - for 223 and 233, we can see the server's better granularity advertisement; and for 241, the three test cases have the following effects: - natural alignment: the server's smaller alignment is now advertised, and the hole reported at EOF is now the right result; we've gotten rid of the server's non-compliance - forced server alignment: the server still advertises 512 bytes, but still sends a mid-sector hole. This is still a server compliance bug, which needs to be fixed in the block layer in a later patch; output does not change because the client is already being tolerant of the non-compliance - forced client alignment: the server's smaller alignment means that the client now sees the server's status change mid-sector without any protocol violations, but the fact that the map shows an unaligned mid-sector hole is evidence of the block layer problems with aligned block status, to be fixed in a later patch Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20190329042750.14704-7-eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com> [eblake: rebase to enhanced iotest 241 coverage] |

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux
https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac
https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu.git
When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.
git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu-web.git
https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/
A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less
cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions,
or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also
requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't
automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps
manually for once.
For installation instructions, please go to
https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish
The workflow with 'git-publish' is:
$ git checkout master -b my-feature
$ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each
$ git publish
Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.
Sending v2:
$ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
$ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example)
$ git publish
Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip
will be tagged as my-feature-v2.
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be
