[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] qemu-img info lists bitmap directory entries
Posted by Andrey Shinkevich 5 years, 4 months ago
In the 'Format specific information' section of the 'qemu-img info'
command output, the supplemental information about existing QCOW2
bitmaps will be shown, such as a bitmap name, flags and granularity:

image: /vz/vmprivate/VM1/harddisk.hdd
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 64G (68719476736 bytes)
disk size: 3.0M
cluster_size: 1048576
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: true
    bitmaps:
        [0]:
            flags:
                [0]: in-use
                [1]: auto
            name: back-up1
            unknown flags: 4
            granularity: 65536
        [1]:
            flags:
                [0]: in-use
                [1]: auto
            name: back-up2
            unknown flags: 8
            granularity: 65536
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false

v4:
Unknown flags are checked with the mask BME_RESERVED_FLAGS.
The code minor refactoring was made.

v3:
'[PATCH v3] qemu-img info lists bitmap directory entries'.
Now, qcow2_get_bitmap_info_list() is invoked under the condition of QCOW
version #3 to avoid memory leaks in case of QCOW version #2.
Furthermore, qcow2_get_bitmap_info_list() checks the number of existing bitmaps.
So, if no bitmap exists, no bitmap error message is printed in the output.
The data type of the bitmap 'granularity' parameter was left as 'uint32'
because bitmap_list_load() returns error if granularity_bits is grater than 31.

v2:
'[PATCH v2] qemu-img info lists bitmap directory entries'.
The targeted version of the release at 'Since' word of the comments to the new
structures changed to 4.0 in the file qapi/block-core.json.
A comment to the 'bitmaps' new member was supplied.
The 'unknown flags' parameter was introduced to indicate presence of QCOW2
bitmap unknown flags, if any.
The word 'dirty' was removed from the code and from the comments as we list all
the bitmaps.
The 'bitmaps' printed parameter was removed for the release versions earlier
than 3.x.
The example of the output was moved above the 'Signed-off-by' line.

The first version was '[PATCH] qemu-img info lists bitmap directory entries'.

I'm guessing you doctored an image in a hex-editor to get this 
particular output?

I'm assuming John will merge this as a bitmap-related patch; make sure 
he is in cc if you send a v5 (adding now).

Ouch. Calling error_report_err() doesn't always work in QMP context; 
better would be to plumb Error **errp back up to the caller, if getting 
this specific information can fail and we want the overall query-block 
to fail.  Or, we could decide that failure to get bitmap info is 
non-fatal, and that it was just a best-effort attempt to get more info, 
where we then ignore the failure, rather than trying to report it 
incorrectly.

Hmm. You're omitting this field both if there are 0 bitmaps, and when it 
was a version 2 image. Is it worth including this field as a 0-length 
array when there are no bitmaps but when the image format is new enough 
to support them, or are we happy with the idea of only including the 
field when it has at least one bitmap?  The difference is whether the 
calling app can explicitly learn that there are no bitmaps (0-length 
reply) vs. the ambiguity of omitting it from the reply (missing might 
mean no bitmaps, or an error in trying to report the bitmaps, or an 
older qemu that didn't know how to report bitmaps).

Here, you said flags will always be present, even if it is a 0-length 
array. Did you test the case where an on-disk bitmap has neither 
'in-use' nor 'auto' set (where get_bitmap_info_flags() returns NULL) to 
ensure that it indeed results in a 0-length reply and not a crash?

Otherwise, it's looking fairly good.

Oh, yes, you are right. Strange, but  bdrv_get_specific_info lacks errp. error_abort us used above for crypto info errors.

Querying bitmaps needs disk access so it really may fail, and it may be sad to fail get any information because of repeating some disk/qcow2 error, so it's better not to abort and even not to fail qmp command here.

Hmm, I don't like overusing .has_bitmaps as a sign of error, at least it would be very weird to document such behavior, and a undocumented trick it is not really useful.
Hmm, if we want something like this I'd prefer .has_bitmaps to be false only in case of error, so for v2 we'll have empty array. It's simpler to document.

Or we need separate cant_load_bitmaps: bool, or bitmaps should be enum of ( ['Qcow2BitmapInfo'] , {'error': 'str'} ), do we have something like this already in QAPI? This is the question about partial success of info-exporting commands.

And thus we should probably fix that - but it doesn't have to be part of 
this series.

I'm happy with v2 images reporting a 0-length array instead of omitting 
the field, especially if that means we can simply have:

old qemu: field always omitted because we didn't compute it
new qemu: field omitted if we hit an error computing it
           otherwise present (but possibly 0 length) and accurate

No, I don't see a reason to over-engineer things; query-block is already 
a behemoth without trying to jam in more details about whether 
info-exporting hit partial failure.

and to make it simpler to recognize fail, it should be one thing, independent of the version, for example: omitted always means error. Or visa-versa: empty list always means error, omitted means no bitmaps or unsupported.

In case of no flag, the output for a bitmap looks like this:

image: /vz/vmprivate/VM1/harddisk.hdd
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 64G (68719476736 bytes)
disk size: 3.0M
cluster_size: 1048576
Format specific information:
     compat: 1.1
     lazy refcounts: true
     bitmaps:
         [0]:
             flags:
             name: x
             granularity: 65536
     refcount bits: 16
     corrupt: false

The output format is generated automatically based on the json syntax.
No crash happened.

Actually, I hardcoded unspecified flags just to sample the output with them.

In my test environment, error_report_err() and warn_report_err() both 
cause printing an error message as the only output of 'qemu-img info' 
command.

What if we add the information about printing birmaps to the QEMU-IMG 
online manual and will omit it in the command output in case of no bitmap?

Eric is right, using error_report() & friends in QMP context is almost
always wrong.  Here's the issue in a bit more detail.  Consider QMP
command query-block.  Reverse call stack:

    qmp_query_block()
    bdrv_query_info()
    bdrv_block_device_info()
    bdrv_query_image_info()
    bdrv_get_specific_info()
    qcow2_get_specific_info()

The error you report in qcow2_get_specific_info() gets reported to
stderr.  It is *not* reported to the QMP client.  Why is that a good
idea?

[...]
