[PATCH] block: Error out on image creation with conflicting size options
Posted by Kevin Wolf 4 years, 4 months ago
If both the create options (qemu-img create -o ...) and the size
parameter were given, the size parameter was silently ignored. Instead,
make specifying two sizes an error.

Longtime bug, so not essential for 4.2-rc3.  But small enough that you 
could sneak it in if you have other patches to queue and don't want to 
wait for 5.0.

Actually, your patch fails to diagnose:

$ qemu-img create -o size=1m,size=2m -f qcow2 x.qcow2
Formatting 'x.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=2097152 cluster_size=65536 
lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16

so you may want to enhance this patch to also catch the case of -o size 
used more than once.

Hm... Isn't this something that QemuOpts should already catch? Or do we
have callers that actually expect the same option specified multiple
times?

Somehow I'm almost sure that Markus will know an example...

But anyway, I figure the same problem exists for almost all options.

QemuOpts is horrible.  It allows duplication, and leaves it up to the 
client what to do about it.  Some clients use the duplication to collect 
multiple arguments (such as specifying more than one cpu), some callers 
treat duplication by honoring only the FIRST option specified (and 
ignoring later uses - I find this ugly), and yet other callers treat 
duplication by honoring only the LAST option specified.

Probably of all three (ab)uses of QemuOpt duplication.

Please don't.  Let me explain.

QemuOpts has always permitted multiple keys, last one wins.
key=1,key=2,key=3 means key=3.  Permits things like overriding settings
read from a configuration file on the command line.

The straightforward way to use QemuOpts lets the last one win:
qemu_opt_set() & friends insert at the end of the tail queue,
qemu_opt_find() searches backwards for a match.

Its storing of duplicates may have been just an implementation artifact
initially, but then some "clever" uses were invented.  These work by
iterating over all QemuOpts parameters with qemu_opt_foreach(), or over
all parameters of a certain name with qemu_opt_iter_init() and
qemu_opt_iter_next().

What the iterating ones all do is anybody's guess.

A common use is collecting all values.  This presses key repetition into
list service: key=1,key=2,key=3 is interpreted like key: [1, 2, 3].

Abusing iteration to honor the first one instead of the last one would
be disgusting.  I'm not aware of such a user, but I'm also not betting
my own money on absence of such abuse.

Needless to say, the peculiarities of QemuOpts are all ABI by now.
Doesn't mean we cannot change them, only that changes need to be
deliberate and careful.

>> But anyway, I figure the same problem exists for almost all options.

It's a feature, not a problem :)
