[PATCH 4/4] hw/nvme: fix controller hot unplugging
Posted by Klaus Jensen 4 years, 7 months ago
From: Klaus Jensen <k.jensen@samsung.com>

Prior to this patch the nvme-ns devices are always children of the
NvmeBus owned by the NvmeCtrl. This causes the namespaces to be
unrealized when the parent device is removed. However, when subsystems
are involved, this is not what we want since the namespaces may be
attached to other controllers as well.

This patch adds an additional NvmeBus on the subsystem device. When
nvme-ns devices are realized, if the parent controller device is linked
to a subsystem, the parent bus is set to the subsystem one instead. This
makes sure that namespaces are kept alive and not unrealized.

Why not always create a subsystem, and distinguish between 'shared' and 
'non-shared' subsystems instead of the ->subsys pointer?
That way all namespaces can be children of the subsystem, we won't need 
any reparenting, and the whole thing will be more in-line with qdev, no?

Cheers,

Hannes

Hi Hannes,

Thanks for your reviews and comments!

So, I have actually considered what you suggest.

The problem is that the nvme-ns device currently expects to plug into a 
bus (an 'nvme-bus') and we cannot really get rid of that 'bus' parameter 
without breaking compatibility. I experimented with removing the bus 
from the nvme device and instead creating it in the nvme-subsys device. 
My idea here was to implicitly always create an nvme-subsys if not 
explicitly created by the user, but since nvme-subsys does not plug into 
any bus itself, it is not exposed in the qtree and thus not reachable 
(i.e., when realizing the nvme-ns device, it will complain that there 
are no 'nvme-bus' available to plug into). To make this work, I believe 
we'd have to have the nvme-subsys plug into the main system bus (or some 
other bus rooted at main-system-bus), and I'd prefer not to do that 
since this is already a flawed design and I think it would be more 
intrusive than what my patch does.

I raised these issues on the mailinglist some time ago[1]. We didn't 
really find a good solution, but I think the conclusion is that the 
bus/device design of subsystems and namespaces is flawed. That's why I 
am working on an "objectification" of the two devices as suggested by 
Stefan[2] as a proper fix for this mess.

Sigh.
_Again_.

I seem to trip over issues for which no patch can possibly be accepted 
as first the infrastructure has to be reworked.

... there is a reason why I'm avoiding posting patches to qemu-devel :-(

Actually, I _do_ think that it would be good to have an nvme-subsystem 
bus, providing a list of all namespaces for that subsystem.
Creating a controller would then mean that one has to create a 
controller and a namespace _separately_, as then the namespace would 
_not_ be a child of the controller.
But that's arguably a good thing, as the namespaces _do_ have a separate 
lifetime from controllers.
And the lifetime of the subsystem could be completely self-contained; 
the controller would be looking up subsystems via the subsystem NQN if 
present; I guess we'll need to create ad-hoc subsystems for PCIe.
But nothing insurmountable.
And certainly nothing which require a large-scale rework of qemu 
internals, I would think.

But _if_ you work on the rework, please ensure that not only NVMe is 
represented here. SCSI multipathing has the same issue currently; there 
is a strict host->lun->block->OS device relationship currently in SCSI, 
making it impossible to represent a multipathed SCSI device in qemu.
The only sneaky way is to allow for a shared OS device (ie specifying 
the filename more than once), but that completely sidesteps qemu 
internals, too.

Cheers,

Hannes

Actually, I'm the one to blame for making nvme-ns a -device and partly 
for why nvme-subsys is one as well... It's made sense at the time and 
thats why the infrastructure is biting me in the behind now ;)

My goal was to *not* use a qbus I don't think the subsystem should be 
modelled as a device. The same can be accomplished with -objects and 
links.

Yes, exactly, totally agree.

I'm only very superficially familiar with hw/scsi, but this sounds more 
like the scsi subsystem also has some similar design problems like 
hw/nvme, not an inherent issue with QDEV/QOM.

So, I realized that this if is not needed, since the device will always 
attach to the bus from the nvme device, never the 'fake' one from the 
subsystem.
