From: Dan Aloni <dan@kernelim.com>

The number of queues that should be return by the admin command should:

  1) Only mention the number of non-admin queues.
  2) It is zero-based, meaning that '0 == one non-admin queue',
     '1 == two non-admin queues', and so forth.

Because our `num_queues` means the number of queues _plus_ the admin
queue, then the right calculation for the number returned from the admin
command is `num_queues - 2`, combining the two requirements mentioned.

The issue was discovered by reducing num_queues from 64 to 8 and running
a Linux VM with an SMP parameter larger than that (e.g. 22). It tries to
utilize all queues, and therefore fails with an invalid queue number
when trying to queue I/Os on the last queue.

From: Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com>

The way the throttling algorithm works is that requests start being
throttled once the bucket level exceeds the burst limit. When we get
there the bucket leaks at the level set by the user (bkt->avg), and
that leak rate is what prevents guest I/O from exceeding the desired
limit.

If we don't allow bursts (i.e. bkt->max == 0) then we can start
throttling requests immediately. The problem with keeping the
threshold at 0 is that it only allows one request at a time, and as
soon as there's a bit of I/O from the guest every other request will
be throttled and performance will suffer considerably. That can even
make the guest unable to reach the throttle limit if that limit is
high enough, and that happens regardless of the block scheduler used
by the guest.

Increasing that threshold gives flexibility to the guest, allowing it
to perform short bursts of I/O before being throttled. Increasing the
threshold too much does not make a difference in the long run (because
it's the leak rate what defines the actual throughput) but it does
allow the guest to perform longer initial bursts and exceed the
throttle limit for a short while.

A burst value of bkt->avg / 10 allows the guest to perform 100ms'
worth of I/O at the target rate without being throttled.

Use a pointer to the bucket instead of repeating cfg->buckets[i] all
the time. This makes the code more concise and will help us expand the
checks later and save a few line breaks.

The throttling code can change internally the value of bkt->max if it
hasn't been set by the user. The problem with this is that if we want
to retrieve the original value we have to undo this change first. This
is ugly and unnecessary: this patch removes the throttle_fix_bucket()
and throttle_unfix_bucket() functions completely and moves the logic
to throttle_compute_wait().

From: Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com>

Both the throttling limits set with the throttling.iops-* and
throttling.bps-* options and their QMP equivalents defined in the
BlockIOThrottle struct are integer values.

Those limits are also reported in the BlockDeviceInfo struct and they
are integers there as well.

Therefore there's no reason to store them internally as double and do
the conversion everytime we're setting or querying them, so this patch
uses uint64_t for those types. Let's also use an unsigned type because
we don't allow negative values anyway.

LeakyBucket.level and LeakyBucket.burst_level do however remain double
because their value changes depending on the fraction of time elapsed
since the previous I/O operation.

From: Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com>

LeakyBucket.burst_length is defined as an unsigned integer but the
code never checks for overflows and it only makes sure that the value
is not 0.

In practice this means that the user can set something like
throttling.iops-total-max-length=4294967300 despite being larger than
UINT_MAX and the final value after casting to unsigned int will be 4.

This patch changes the data type to uint64_t. This does not increase
the storage size of LeakyBucket, and allows us to assign the value
directly from qemu_opt_get_number() or BlockIOThrottle and then do the
checks directly in throttle_is_valid().

The value of burst_length does not have a specific upper limit,
but since the bucket size is defined by max * burst_length we have
to prevent overflows. Instead of going for UINT64_MAX or something
similar this patch reuses THROTTLE_VALUE_MAX, which allows I/O bursts
of 1 GiB/s for 10 days in a row.

From: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

If QEMU is running on a system that's out of memory and mmap()
fails, QEMU aborts with no error message at all, making it hard
to debug the reason for the failure.

Add perror() calls that will print error information before
aborting.

There's a few cases which we're passing an Error pointer to a function
only to discard it immediately afterwards without checking it. In
these cases we can simply remove the variable and pass NULL instead.

  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: Peter Maydell, Stefan Hajnoczi

The minimum Python version supported by QEMU is 2.6.  The argparse
standard library module was only added in Python 2.7.  Many scripts
would like to use argparse because it supports command-line
sub-commands.

This patch adds argparse.  See the top of argparse.py for details.

+A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
+==========================
+
+Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
+Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
+as a successor of a language called ABC.  Guido remains Python's
+principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
+
+In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
+National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
+in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
+software.
+
+In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
+BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team.  In October of the same
+year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope
+Corporation, see http://www.zope.com).  In 2001, the Python Software
+Foundation (PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a
+non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related
+Intellectual Property.  Zope Corporation is a sponsoring member of
+the PSF.
+
+All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
+the Open Source Definition).  Historically, most, but not all, Python
+releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
+the various releases.

+Footnotes:
+
+(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
+    the GPL.  All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
+    a modified version without making your changes open source.  The
+    GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
+    other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
+
+(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
+    because its license has a choice of law clause.  According to
+    CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
+    is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
+
+Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
+direction to make these releases possible.

+"""Command-line parsing library
+
+This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
+
+    - handles both optional and positional arguments
+    - produces highly informative usage messages
+    - supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
+
+The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
+command-line and writes the result to a file::
+
+    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
+        description='sum the integers at the command line')
+    parser.add_argument(
+        'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
+        help='an integer to be summed')
+    parser.add_argument(
+        '--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
+        help='the file where the sum should be written')
+    args = parser.parse_args()
+    args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
+    args.log.close()
+
+The module contains the following public classes:
+
+    - ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
+        example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
+        the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
+        the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
+        command-line into an object with attributes.
+
+    - ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
+        there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
+        parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
+        as command-line messages.
+
+    - FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
+        example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
+        the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
+
+    - Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
+        selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
+        the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
+        customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
+        be defined and passed as the action= argument.
+
+    - HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter,
+        ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
+        may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
+        ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default,
+        RawDescriptionHelpFormatter and RawTextHelpFormatter tell the parser
+        not to change the formatting for help text, and
+        ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter adds information about argument defaults
+        to the help.
+
+All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
+(Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
+considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
+still considered an implementation detail.)

+

+
+        - option_strings -- A list of command-line option strings which
+            should be associated with this action.
+
+        - dest -- The name of the attribute to hold the created object(s)
+
+        - nargs -- The number of command-line arguments that should be
+            consumed. By default, one argument will be consumed and a single
+            value will be produced.  Other values include:
+                - N (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
+                - '?' consumes zero or one arguments
+                - '*' consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
+                - '+' consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
+            Note that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that
+            with the default, a single value will be produced, while with
+            nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced.
+
+        - const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the
+            option uses an action that takes no values.
+
+        - default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
+
+        - type -- The type which the command-line arguments should be converted
+            to, should be one of 'string', 'int', 'float', 'complex' or a
+            callable object that accepts a single string argument. If None,
+            'string' is assumed.
+
+        - choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None,
+            after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate
+            type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this
+            collection.
+
+        - required -- True if the action must always be specified at the
+            command line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line
+            arguments.
+
+        - help -- The help string describing the argument.
+
+        - metavar -- The name to be used for the option's argument with the

Most qcow2 files are uncompressed so it is wasteful to allocate (32 + 1)
* cluster_size + 512 bytes upfront.  Allocate s->cluster_cache and
s->cluster_data when the first read operation is performance on a
compressed cluster.

The buffers are freed in .bdrv_close().  .bdrv_open() no longer has any
code paths that can allocate these buffers, so remove the free functions
in the error code path.

This patch can result in significant memory savings when many qcow2
disks are attached or backing file chains are long:

Before 12.81% (1,023,193,088B)
After   5.36% (393,893,888B)

Coverity thinks there's a division-by-zero issue here: bkt->max could
be zero (we have a test for that up above), but we can here pass it
to throttle_do_compute_wait(), which uses it as a divisor.

Since this is all double arithmetic, the division isn't going
to cause a crash, but the implicit cast of the resulting infinity
to int64_t to return it is undefined behaviour.

This is CID 1381016.

thanks
