v1:

VHDX and Parallels both blindly write headers to the image file
if the images are opened R/W.  This causes an assert if the QEMU run
state is INMIGRATE.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/4] block/vhdx.c: Don't blindly update the header

[Jeff Cody]

The VHDX specification requires that before user data modification of
the vhdx image, the VHDX header file and data GUIDs need to be updated.
In vhdx_open(), if the image is set to RDWR, we go ahead and update the
header.

However, just because the image is set to RDWR does not mean we can go
ahead and write at this point - specifically, if the QEMU run state is
INMIGRATE, the underlying file BS may be set to inactive via the BDS
open flag of BDRV_O_INACTIVE.  Attempting to write under this condition
will cause an assert in bdrv_co_pwritev().

We can alternatively latch the first time the image is written.  And lo
and behold, we do just that, via vhdx_user_visible_write() in
vhdx_co_writev().  This means the call to vhdx_update_headers() in
vhdx_open() is likely just vestigial, and can be removed.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 2/4] block/parallels: Do not update header or truncate image when INMIGRATE

[Jeff Cody]

If we write or modify the image file while the QEMU run state is
INMIGRATE, then the BDRV_O_INACTIVE BDS flag is set.  This will cause
an assert, since the image is marked inactive.  Make sure we obey this
flag.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/4] block/parallels: add migration blocker

[Jeff Cody]

Migration does not work for parallels, and has been broken for a while
(see patch 'block/parallels: Do not update header or truncate image when
 INMIGRATE').  The bdrv_invalidate_cache() method needs to be added for
migration to be supported.  Until this is done, prohibit migration.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/4] qemu-iotests: update unsupported image formats in 194

[Jeff Cody]

Test 194 checks for 'luks' to exclude as an unsupported format,
However, most formats are unsupported, due to migration blockers.

Rather than specifying a blacklist of unsupported formats, whitelist
supported formats (specifically, qcow2, qed, raw, dmg).

Please call migrate_del_blocker() and error_free() in .bdrv_close().
