[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Add common QEMU control functionality to qemu-iotests

[Jeff Cody]

Changes from v2:

Updated Reviewed-by for Fam and Benoit (Benoit's from the v1 patch, I forgot to
add those to v2)

    Patch 1: * updated commit message (Thanks Fam)
             * Addded '-machine accel=qtest' to qemu launch args (Thanks Fam)
    Patch 3: * Moved from test 089 -> test 090 to avoid collision with
               Fam's series (Thanks Fam)
    
Changes from v1:

    Patch 1: * Fixed commit message, clarified comments (Thanks Benoît)
             * Changed 'shift' line to be POSIX-friendly, instead of
               relying on bashism (Thanks Eric)
             * Added ability to repeat qmp or hmp commands an arbitrary
               number of times
    Patch 3: New patch, for live migration

Original Description:

This adds some common functionality to control QEMU for qemu-iotests.

Additionally, test 085 is updated to use this new functionality.

Some minor fixups along the way, to clear up spaced pathname issues, 
for common.rc, test 019, and test 086.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/5] block: qemu-iotests - add common.qemu, for bash-controlled qemu tests

[Jeff Cody]

This creates some common functions for bash language qemu-iotests
to control, and communicate with, a running QEMU process.

4 functions are introduced:

    1. _launch_qemu()
        This launches the QEMU process(es), and sets up the file
        descriptors and fifos for communication.  You can choose to
        launch each QEMU process listening for either QMP or HMP
        monitor.  You can call this function multiple times, and
        save the handle returned from each.  The returned handle is
        in $QEMU_HANDLE.  You must copy this value.

Commands 2 and 3 use the handle received from _launch_qemu(), to talk
to the appropriate process.

    2. _send_qemu_cmd()
        Sends a command string, specified by $2, to QEMU.  If $3 is
        non-NULL, _send_qemu_cmd() will wait to receive $3 as a
        required result string from QEMU.  Failure to receive $3 will
        cause the test to fail.  The command can optionally be retried
        $qemu_cmd_repeat number of times.

    3. _timed_wait_for()
        Waits for a response, for up to a default of 10 seconds.  If
        $2 is not seen in that time (anywhere in the response), then
        the test fails.  Primarily used by _send_qemu_cmd, but could
        be useful standalone, as well.  To prevent automatic exit
        (and therefore test failure), set $qemu_wait_no_error to a
        non-NULL value.  If $silent is a non-NULL value, then output
        to stdout will be suppressed.

    4. _cleanup_qemu()
        Kills the running QEMU processes, and removes the fifos.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 2/5] block: qemu-iotests - update 085 to use common.qemu

[Jeff Cody]

The new functionality of common.qemu implements the QEMU control
and communication functionality that was originally in test 085.

This removes that now-duplicate functionality, and uses the
common.qemu functions.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/5] block: qemu-iotests - test for live migration

[Jeff Cody]

This is an initial, simple live migration test from one
running VM to another, using monitor commands.

This is also an example on using the new common.qemu functions
for controlling multiple running qemu instances, for tests that
need a live qemu vm.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] block: qemu-iotests - fix image cleanup when using spaced pathnames

[Jeff Cody]

The _rm_test_img() function in common.rc did not quote the image
file, which left droppings in the scratch directory (and performed
a potentially unsafe rm -f).

This adds the necessary quotes.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 5/5] block: qemu-iotests: make test 019 and 086 work with spaced pathnames

[Jeff Cody]

Both tests 019 and 086 need proper quotations to work with pathnames
that contain spaces.
