[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 00/19] Support streaming to an intermediate layer

[Alberto Garcia]

Hi,

thank you Kevin and Eric for your comments. I addressed them all in
this series.

Berto

v13:
- Patch 10: explain that the 'base-node' parameter can be used to
  detect whether we support streaming to an intermediate node.
- Patch 12: Revert the blkdebug removal, it is indeed necessary to
  keep it.
- Patch 15: Fix the block-commit call in test_stream_commit().
- Patch 19: Add a new test to check that 'base' and 'base-node' cannot
  be specified at the same time.

v12: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2016-10/msg01085.html
- Rebase on top of the current master.
- Patch 1: Add a note explaining that no new block jobs or BDSs can be
  added between bdrv_drain_all_begin/end().

v11: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2016-10/msg00518.html
- Patches 1-2: Add bdrv_drain_all_{begin,end}() and use these
  functions in bdrv_reopen_multiple() instead of pausing all block
  jobs.
- Patch 3: Don't unblock BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE in
  block_job_add_bdrv()
- Patch 7: In commit_start(), don't call block_job_add_bdrv() twice on
  the active node.
- Patch 10: In qmp_block_stream(), don't check twice for op blockers
  in 'bs'.
- Patch 11: Clarify that live-block-ops.txt is incomplete and it only
  covers the block-stream operation.
- Patches 18-19: Add a 'base-node' parameter to 'block-stream', and
  iotests for it.

v10: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-10/msg01047.html
- Rebase the code.
- Pause block jobs during bdrv_reopen().
- Allow jobs in parallel again, and modify jobs to block all involved
  nodes, not just the root one.
- Add more tests.

v9: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-04/msg00411.html
- Rebase the code
- Block the active layer in order to forbid other block jobs in the
  same chain.
- Split the patch that adds block_job_next() into 4 (new patches 1-4).
- Replace the test that performs several block-stream operations in
  parallel with one that check that they're forbidden.
- Remove patches that have already been merged.

v8: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg05754.html
- Rebased on top of Stefan's block branch (0a35bce416)
- The loop that pauses the block jobs in bdrv_drain_all() is now split
  in two: one that iterates the list of block jobs to stop them, and
  one that iterates the root bds in order to get the aio contexts.

v7: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg02580.html
- Rebased against the current master
- Updated bdrv_drain_all() to use the new block_job_next() API.

v6: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-04/msg03046.html
- fix the no-op test following Max's suggestions

v5: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-04/msg03006.html
- Fix a few typos
- Minor documentation updates
- Update test_stream_partial() to test no-ops
- New test case: test_stream_parallel()
- New test case: test_stream_overlapping()

v4: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-04/msg01878.html
- Refactor find_block_job to use the error from bdrv_lookup_bs()
- Don't use QERR_DEVICE_IN_USE in block_job_create() since we can be
  dealing with nodes now.
- Fix @device comment in the BlockJobInfo documentation
- stream_start(): simplify the bdrv_reopen() call and use
  bdrv_get_device_or_node_name() for error messages.
- Use a different variable name for BlockDriverState *i
- Documentation fixes in docs/live-block-ops.txt
- Update iotest 30 since now test_device_not_found() returns
  GenericError
- Fix test case test_stream_partial()
- Add new test case test_stream_intermediate()
- Fix typos

v3: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-04/msg00806.html
- Keep a list of block jobs and make qmp_query_block_jobs() iterate
  over it.

v2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-03/msg04798.html
- The 'block-stream' command does not have a 'node-name' parameter
  anymore and reuses 'device' for that purpose.
- Block jobs can now be owned by any intermediate node, and not just
  by the ones at the root. query-block-jobs is updated to reflect that
  change.
- The 'device' parameter of all 'block-job-*' commands can now take a
  node name.
- The BlockJobInfo type and all BLOCK_JOB_* events report the node
  name in the 'device' field if the node does not have a device name.
- All intermediate nodes are blocked (and checked for blockers) during
  the streaming operation.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 01/19] block: Add bdrv_drain_all_{begin, end}()

[Alberto Garcia]

bdrv_drain_all() doesn't allow the caller to do anything after all
pending requests have been completed but before block jobs are
resumed.

This patch splits bdrv_drain_all() into _begin() and _end() for that
purpose. It also adds aio_{disable,enable}_external() calls to disable
external clients in the meantime.

An important restriction of this split is that no new block jobs or
BlockDriverStates can be created between the bdrv_drain_all_begin()
and bdrv_drain_all_end() calls. This is not a concern now because
we'll only be using this in bdrv_reopen_multiple(), but it must be
dealt with if we ever have other uses cases in the future.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 02/19] block: Pause all jobs during bdrv_reopen_multiple()

[Alberto Garcia]

When a BlockDriverState is about to be reopened it can trigger certain
operations that need to write to disk. During this process a different
block job can be woken up. If that block job completes and also needs
to call bdrv_reopen() it can happen that it needs to do it on the same
BlockDriverState that is still in the process of being reopened.

This can have fatal consequences, like in this example:

  1) Block job A starts and sleeps after a while.
  2) Block job B starts and tries to reopen node1 (a qcow2 file).
  3) Reopening node1 means flushing and replacing its qcow2 cache.
  4) While the qcow2 cache is being flushed, job A wakes up.
  5) Job A completes and reopens node1, replacing its cache.
  6) Job B resumes, but the cache that was being flushed no longer
     exists.

This patch splits the bdrv_drain_all() call to keep all block jobs
paused during bdrv_reopen_multiple(), so that step 4 can never happen
and the operation is safe.

Note that this scenario can only happen if both bdrv_reopen() calls
are made by block jobs on the same backing chain. Otherwise there's no
chance that the same BlockDriverState appears in both reopen queues.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 03/19] block: Add block_job_add_bdrv()

[Alberto Garcia]

When a block job is created on a certain BlockDriverState, operations
are blocked there while the job exists. However, some block jobs may
involve additional BDSs, which must be blocked separately when the job
is created and unblocked manually afterwards.

This patch adds block_job_add_bdrv(), that simplifies this process by
keeping a list of BDSs that are involved in the specified block job.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 06/19] block: Check blockers in all nodes involved in a block-commit job

[Alberto Garcia]

qmp_block_commit() checks for op blockers in the active and
destination (base) images. However all nodes between top_bs and base
are also involved, and they are removed from the chain afterwards.

In addition to that, if top_bs is not the active layer then top_bs's
overlay also needs to be checked because it's involved in the job (its
backing image string needs to be updated to point to 'base').

This patch checks that none of those nodes are blocked.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 07/19] block: Block all nodes involved in the block-commit operation

[Alberto Garcia]

After a successful block-commit operation all nodes between top and
base are removed from the backing chain, and top's overlay needs to
be updated to point to base. Because of that we should prevent other
block jobs from messing with them.

This patch blocks all operations in these nodes in commit_start().

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 09/19] block: Support streaming to an intermediate layer

[Alberto Garcia]

This makes sure that the image we are streaming into is open in
read-write mode during the operation.

Operation blockers are also set in all intermediate nodes, since they
will be removed from the chain afterwards.

Finally, this also unblocks the stream operation in backing files.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 10/19] block: Add QMP support for streaming to an intermediate layer

[Alberto Garcia]

This patch makes the 'device' parameter of the 'block-stream' command
accept a node name that is not a root node. The presence of this
feature can't be directly tested with introspection; soon we'll
introduce a 'base-node' parameter whose presence can be checked for
this purpose.

In addition to that, operation blockers will be checked in all
intermediate nodes between the top and the base node.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 14/19] qemu-iotests: Test overlapping stream and commit operations

[Alberto Garcia]

These test cases check that it's not possible to perform two
block-stream or block-commit operations if there are nodes involved in
both.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 15/19] qemu-iotests: Test block-stream and block-commit in parallel

[Alberto Garcia]

As with test_stream_parallel(), we allow mixing block-stream and
block-commit operations in the same backing chain as long as there's
no overlap among the involved nodes.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 16/19] qemu-iotests: Add iotests.supports_quorum()

[Alberto Garcia]

There's many tests that need Quorum support in order to run. At the
moment each test implements its own check to see if Quorum is
enabled. This patch centralizes all those checks in a new function
called iotests.supports_quorum().

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 17/19] qemu-iotests: Test streaming to a Quorum child

[Alberto Garcia]

Quorum children are special in the sense that they're not directly
attached to a block backend but they're not used as backing images
either. However the intermediate block streaming code supports
streaming to them. This is a test case for that scenario.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 18/19] block: Add 'base-node' parameter to the 'block-stream' command

[Alberto Garcia]

The way to specify the node from which to copy data in the
block-stream operation is by using the 'base' parameter. This
parameter however takes a file name, not a node name.

Since we want to be able to perform this operation using only node
names, this patch adds a new 'base-node' parameter.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 19/19] qemu-iotests: Test the 'base-node' parameter of 'block-stream'

[Alberto Garcia]

The block-stream command has traditionally used the 'base' parameter
to indicate the image to copy the data from. This test checks that the
'base-node' parameter can also be used for the same purpose.
