[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/2] GlusterFS support in QEMU - v5

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/2] GlusterFS support in QEMU - v5

[Bharata B Rao]

Hi,

This is the v5 of the patchset to support GlusterFS backend from QEMU.
Except for using g_strdup instead of strdup and some comments addition,
this version is exactly similar to v4.

As I mentioned during a previous release, I have tested gluster backend
with different gluster configurations like local, remote, distributed
and replicated volumes. I believe that the patchset has undergone enough
scrutiny now to be included in 1.2 release.

Previous versions can be found here:

v4 - http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-08/msg00147.html
v3 - http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg03322.html
v2 - http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg02718.html
v1 - http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-06/msg01745.html

Regards,
Bharata.

[Bharata B Rao]

qemu: Add a config option for GlusterFS as block backend

From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

GlusterFS support in QEMU depends on libgfapi, libgfrpc and
libgfxdr provided by GlusterFS.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 2/2] block: Support GlusterFS as a QEMU block backend

[Bharata B Rao]

block: Support GlusterFS as a QEMU block backend.

From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch adds gluster as the new block backend in QEMU. This gives
QEMU the ability to boot VM images from gluster volumes. Its already
possible to boot from VM images on gluster volumes using FUSE mount, but
this patchset provides the ability to boot VM images from gluster volumes
by by-passing the FUSE layer in gluster. This is made possible by
using libgfapi routines to perform IO on gluster volumes directly.

VM Image on gluster volume is specified like this:

file=gluster://server:[port]/volname/image[?transport=socket]

'gluster' is the protocol.

'server' specifies the server where the volume file specification for
the given volume resides. This can be either hostname or ipv4 address
or ipv6 address. ipv6 address needs to be with in square brackets [ ].

port' is the port number on which gluster management daemon (glusterd) is
listening. This is optional and if not specified, QEMU will send 0 which
will make libgfapi to use the default port.

'volname' is the name of the gluster volume which contains the VM image.

'image' is the path to the actual VM image in the gluster volume.

'transport' specifies the transport used to connect to glusterd. This is
optional and if not specified, socket transport is used.

Examples:

file=gluster://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
file=gluster://1.2.3.4:5000/testvol/dir/a.img?transport=socket
file=gluster://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]/testvol/dir/a.img
file=gluster://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]:5000/testvol/dir/a.img?transport=socket
file=gluster://server.domain.com:5000/testvol/dir/a.img

This is the first use of $glusterfs. Please define the default value,
the rationale is given at the start of configure:
# Default value for a variable defining feature "foo".
#  * foo="no"  feature will only be used if --enable-foo arg is given
#  * foo=""    feature will be searched for, and if found, will be used
#              unless --disable-foo is given
#  * foo="yes" this value will only be set by --enable-foo flag.
#              feature will searched for,
#              if not found, configure exits with error

I think "" would match other features.

The current behaviour matches foo="", but its always better to explicitly
specify that. I am including the changed 1/2 patch here since its a very
small change. If maintainers want the changed patch to come out afresh, I can
spin out a new v6.

qemu: Add a config option for GlusterFS as block backend

From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

GlusterFS support in QEMU depends on libgfapi, libgfrpc and
libgfxdr provided by GlusterFS.

Are you submitting the GlusterFS patch to move
gf_loglevel_t/GF_LOG_ERROR to the API headers?

Sure, Will send v6 with fixes to patch 1 and incorporating your suggestions.

I have already informed them about this. I will work with them to make sure
that GL_LOG_* definitions are available for the users of libgfapi.

It would be best if the autoconf changes is based on pkgconfig as shown 
in 
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/api/examples/configure.ac. 
If you do not want to introduce pkgconfig dependency (if you already do 
not have it) then it would be good to adopt the steps mentioned in 
section "2." of
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/api/examples/README. 
That would basically mean including "-I/path/include/glusterfs" in 
CPPFLAGS and only "#include <api/glfs.h>" instead of <glusterfs/api/glfs.h>.

I don't see others in QEMU doing this currently. I suggest that we
have the current patchset in 1.2 and see if such improvements can be
done subsequently.

Bharata.
