* qemu-img: There is more than one host device driverKevin Wolf2009-12-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | I haven't heard yet of anyone using qemu-img to copy an image to a real floppy, but it's a valid use case. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
* block migration: Cleanup dirty tracking codeJan Kiszka2009-12-031-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This switches the dirty bitmap to a true bitmap, reducing its footprint (specifically in caches). It moreover fixes off-by-one bugs in set_dirty_bitmap (nb_sectors+1 were marked) and bdrv_get_dirty (limit check allowed one sector behind end of drive). And is drops redundant dirty_tracking field from BlockDriverState. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
* Expose a mechanism to trace block writeslirans@il.ibm.com2009-11-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support live migration without shared storage we need to be able to trace writes to disk while migrating. This Patch expose dirty block tracking per device to be polled from upper layer. Changes from v4: - Register dirty tracking for each block device. - Minor coding style issues. - Block.c will now manage a dirty bitmap per device once bdrv_set_dirty_tracking() is called. Bitmap is polled by the upper layer (block-migration.c). Signed-off-by: Liran Schour <lirans@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
* block: add aio_flush operationChristoph Hellwig2009-09-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it asynchronously. Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix. Note that while Linux AIO implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because it isn't actually implement in asynchronous fashion.

* block: add enable_write_cache flagChristoph Hellwig2009-09-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a enable_write_cache flag in the block driver state, and use it to decide if we claim to have a volatile write cache that needs controlled flushing from the guest. The flag is off if cache=writethrough is defined because O_DSYNC guarantees that every write goes to stable storage, and it is on for cache=none and cache=writeback. Both scsi-disk and ide now use the new flage, changing from their defaults of always off (ide) or always on (scsi-disk).

* Add bdrv_aio_multiwriteKevin Wolf2009-09-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster. Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place. As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less and larger requests. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
* qcow2: Metadata preallocationKevin Wolf2009-08-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a qemu-img create option for qcow2 which allows the metadata to be preallocated, i.e. clusters are reserved in the refcount table and L1/L2 tables, but no data is written to them. Metadata is quite small, so this happens in almost no time. Especially with qcow2 on virtio this helps to gain a bit of performance during the initial writes. However, as soon as create a snapshot, we're back to the normal slow speed, obviously. So this isn't the real fix, but kind of a cheat while we're still having trouble with qcow2 on virtio. Note that the option is disabled by default and needs to be specified explicitly using qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata.

* replace bdrv_{get, put}_buffer with bdrv_{load, save}_vmstateChristoph Hellwig2009-07-161-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | The VM state offset is a concept internal to the image format. Replace the old bdrv_{get,put}_buffer method that require an index into the image file that is constructed from the VM state offset and an offset into the vmstate with the bdrv_{load,save}_vmstate that just take an offset into the VM state.

| | | | | | | | | | Add a bdrv_probe_device method to all BlockDriver instances implementing host devices to move matching of host device types into the actual drivers. For now we keep exacly the old matching behaviour based on the devices names, although we really should have better detetion methods based on device information in the future.

* fully split aio_pool from BlockDriverChristoph Hellwig2009-05-271-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have a separate aio pool structure we can remove those aio pool details from BlockDriver. Every driver supporting AIO now needs to declare a static AIOPool with the aiocb size and the cancellation method. This cleans up the current code considerably and will make it cleaner and more obvious to support two different aio implementations behind a single BlockDriver.

* implement qemu_blockalign (Stefano Stabellini)aliguori2009-04-221-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this patch adds a buffer_alignment field to BlockDriverState and implements a qemu_blockalign function that uses that field to allocate a memory aligned buffer to be used by the block driver. buffer_alignment is initialized to 512 but each block driver can set a different value (at the moment none of them do). This patch modifies ide.c, block-qcow.c, block-qcow2.c and block.c to use qemu_blockalign instead of qemu_memalign. There is only one place left that still uses qemu_memalign to allocate buffers used by block drivers that is posix-aio-compat:handle_aiocb_rw because it is not possible to get the BlockDriverState from that function. However I think it is not important because posix-aio-compat already deals with driver specific code so it is supposed to know its own needs.

Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread.

* new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori2009-03-281-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the new world order. I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an example. Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple. Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough on a non-Linux OS. Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest to a host CDROM device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Anthony Liguori) Introduce a growable flag that's set by bdrv_file_open(). Block devices should never be growable, only files that are being used by block devices. I went through Fabrice's early comments about the patch that was first applied. While I disagree with that patch, I also disagree with Fabrice's suggestion. There's no good reason to do the checks in the block drivers themselves. It just increases the possibility that this bug could show up again. Since we're calling bdrv_getlength() to determine the length, we're giving the block drivers a chance to chime in and let us know what range is valid. Basically, this patch makes the BlockDriver API guarantee that all requests are within 0..bdrv_getlength() which to me seems like a Good Thing. What do others think?
