[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3 v3] allow online resizing of block devices

[Christoph Hellwig]

This patchset adds support for online resizing of block devices.

The first patch adds a new resize monitor command which call into
the existing image resize code.  This is the meat of the series
and probably needs quite a bit of review and help as I'm not sure
about how to implement the error handling for monitor commands
correctly.  Am I really supposed to add a new QERR_ definition
for each possible error?  And if yes how am I supposed to define
them?  The macros for them aren't exactly self-explaining.

The second patch adds a way to tell drivers about a resize, and the
third one adds a guest notification for config changes to virtio-blk
which allows the guest to pick it up without a rescan.  I've just sent
the corresponding Linux guest driver patch to Rusty.

Changes from version 2 to version 3:
 - add missing braces
 - use device as the argument name for the device string
 - also rename the HMP version of the command to block_resize

Changes from version 1 to version 2:
 - also add a QMP command (block_resize)
 - use the o format for the size in the monitor command
 - fix typos
 - use QERR_UNDEFINED_ERROR for errors instead of unstructured strings
 - remove the CDROM hint check
 - add a reason argument to the change callback

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] block: add block_resize monitor command

[Christoph Hellwig]

Add a monitor command that allows resizing of block devices while
qemu is running.  It uses the existing bdrv_truncate method already
used by qemu-img to do it's work.  Compared to qemu-img the size
parsing is very simplicistic, but I think having a properly numering
object is more useful for non-humand monitor users than having
the units and relative resize parsing.

For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by
doing the following shell command:

	echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan

For ATA devices I don't know of a way to update the block device
size in Linux system, and for virtio-blk the next two patches
will provide an automatic update of the size when this command
is issued on the host.

Can't resize if block migration is in progress. Don't see a problem 
with simply disallowing resize in that case.

Then we should add a check to bdrv_truncate.

What check exactly would that be anyway?

Need to add the information to BlockDriver state. drive_del is also
broken, it can be fixed later. Patch looks good to me.
