There is a newer version of this series
[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 25/42] mirror: Deal with filters
Posted by Max Reitz 6 years, 8 months ago
This includes some permission limiting (for example, we only need to
take the RESIZE permission for active commits where the base is smaller
than the top).

Should we assert that not NULL?
Hmm, so this is the way to "skip filters reverse from the base", yes? Worth add a comment?

don't you want skip filters here? actual target node may be in backing chain, but has separate
filters above it

Well, but it can be NULL.  It is only non-NULL for active commit.

> Hmm, so this is the way to "skip filters reverse from the base", yes? Worth add a comment?

We need this because bdrv_is_allocated() will report everything as
allocated in a filter if it is allocated in its filtered child.  So if
we use @base in bdrv_is_allocated_above() and there is a filter on top
of it, bdrv_is_allocated_above() will report everything as allocated
that is allocated in @base (which we do not want).

Therefor, we need to go to the topmost R/W filter on top of @base, so
that bdrv_is_allocated_above() actually starts at the first COW chain
element above @base.

As for the comment, I thought the name “filtered base” would suffice,
but sure.

(“@filtered_base is the topmost node in the @bs-@base chain that is
connected to @base only through filters” or something; plus the
explanation why we need it.)

I don’t quite understand.  bdrv_chain_contains() iterates over the
filter chain, so it shouldn’t matter whether there are filters above
target or not.

I think the idea was that no other jobs may be run on intermediate
nodes.  (But by now it’s no longer just about jobs, so yes, should be
s/jobs/nodes/.  I don’t know whether I should squeeze that in here, though.)

I just imagine something like this:

  v v
base (unfiltered target)

Well, that’s just broken.  Good point.

Hm.  Can this be actually made to work?  The filter_target search could
be amended (by looking for the overlay of bdrv_skip_rw_filters(target)).
 The loop to block intermediate nodes, though...  Would require some
more modifications.  We’d probably also need two loops, one from bs to
bdrv_skip_rw_filters(target), and one from the target to
bdrv_skip_rw_filters(target).

All in all I think it’s best to just forbid this case for now.  (We can
try something like that again for blockdev-copy in the future(TM).)  So
I’ll just check whether bdrv_skip_rw_filters(target) is in the chain,
and if so (but target_is_backing is false), return an error.
