[PULL 1/6] ide: Fix potential assertion failure on VM stop for PIO read error

[Kevin Wolf]

ide_sector_read() as well as its callers neglect to call ide_set_retry()
before starting I/O. If the I/O fails, this means that the retry
information is stale. In particular, ide_handle_rw_error() has an
assertion that s->bus->retry_unit == s->unit, which can fail if either
there was no previous request or it came from another device on the bus.
If the assertion weren't there, a wrong request would be retried after
resuming the VM.

Fix this by adding a ide_set_retry() call to ide_sector_read().

This affects only reads because ide_transfer_start() does call
ide_set_retry(). For writes, the data transfer comes first and the I/O
is only started when the data has been read into s->io_buffer, so by
that time, ide_set_retry() has been called. For reads, however, the I/O
comes first and only then the data is transferred to the guest, so the
call in ide_transfer_start() is too late.

[PULL 2/6] scsi: Don't consider LOGICAL UNIT NOT SUPPORTED guest recoverable

[Kevin Wolf]

When commit bdf9613b introduced scsi_sense_buf_is_guest_recoverable(),
it included LOGICAL UNIT NOT SUPPORTED in the list of guest recoverable
sense codes. It doesn't really explain how the codes to be in the list
were selected.

As the LUN doesn't come from the guest, but from the block backend
(usually the SCSI device on the host that was opened with host_device,
but it could also be the iscsi block driver), there is really no way the
guest could influence this.

It seems that on some storage arrays, LOGICAL UNIT NOT SUPPORTED can
happen during failover operations. When combined with multipath, the
request should be retried on another path instead of being reported to
the guest, which would offline the filesystem in response.

Simply returning false in scsi_sense_buf_is_guest_recoverable() will
enable the retry logic in file-posix, and will also make sure that if
the error persists, the configured error policy is respected so that the
VM can be stopped.

[PULL 4/6] monitor: Fix deadlock in monitor_cleanup

[Kevin Wolf]

From: hongmianquan <hongmianquan@bytedance.com>

During qemu_cleanup, if a non-coroutine QMP command (e.g.,
query-commands) is concurrently received and processed by the
mon_iothread, it can lead to a deadlock in monitor_cleanup.

The root cause is a race condition between the main thread's shutdown
sequence and the coroutine's dispatching mechanism. When handling a
non-coroutine QMP command, qmp_dispatcher_co schedules the actual
command execution as a bottom half in iohandler_ctx and then yields. At
this suspended point, qmp_dispatcher_co_busy remains true.

Subsequently, the main thread in monitor_cleanup(), sets
qmp_dispatcher_co_shutdown, and calls qmp_dispatcher_co_wake(). Since
qmp_dispatcher_co_busy is already true, the aio_co_wake is skipped. The
main thread then enters the AIO_WAIT_WHILE_UNLOCKED loop, it executes
the scheduled BH (do_qmp_dispatch_bh) via aio_poll(iohandler_ctx,
false), which attempts to wake up the coroutine, aio_co_wake schedules a
new wake-up BH in iohandler_ctx. The main thread then blocks
indefinitely in aio_poll(qemu_aio_context, true), while the coroutine's
wake-up BH is starved in iohandler_ctx, qmp_dispatcher_co never reaches
termination, resulting in a deadlock.

The execution sequence is illustrated below:

 IO Thread                 Main Thread (qemu_aio_context)        qmp_dispatcher_co (iohandler_ctx)
    |                                 |                                        |

    |    (sets busy = true)           |                                        |

To fix this, we add an explicit aio_wait_kick() in do_qmp_dispatch_bh()
to break the main loop out of its blocking poll, allowing it to evaluate
the loop condition and poll iohandler_ctx.

This broke qemu guest agent build.

This is an interesting situation.
I think we've API boundary separation violation here.

This change assumes qmp is only used by qemu-system binary, but
apparently it isn't.

I can reproduce it with a qga-only build, but building tools already
fixes it again. That is, the following configure line breaks:

    ../configure --disable-system --disable-user --enable-guest-agent

But this one works:

    ../configure --disable-system --disable-user --enable-guest-agent --enable-tools

utils_ss in the meson files is messy. Enabling something that needs the
block layer enables additional files for qga, too. It should probably be
split in two and qga should always only be built with what is present
when you build only qga and nothing else.

But for now, the patch below should fix it.

Yes this seems to fix the link failure.  However, the whole thing is
messy indeed.

I *guess* qapi/qmp-dispatch.c should not be used by qga.  That to say, -
instead of adding more stuff to qga link line, it looks like we should
remove stuff from it :)  And maybe split some source files in two, if
needed.  But this is for 11.1, not for 11.0.

I don't think you can have QMP without qapi/qmp-dispatch.c, so this does
look like the right fix to me. There is no real reason why aio-wait.c
should be considered specific to the block layer.

The part that I don't like about the situation is just that the build
didn't fail without disabling everything else in configure. It should
have failed. But yes, that's for 11.1.

Well, or at least, qga can provide stub for aio_wait_kick().

As far as I can tell, qga has the same monitor setup as qemu, i.e. there
is qemu_aio_context as the default, iohandler_ctx where the monitor I/O
is processed and a monitor iothread.

This means that you need the real aio_wait_kick(), not just a stub, to
avoid deadlocks.

[PULL 5/6] vhost-user-blk-server: fix opt_io_size=1 causing severe Windows I/O degradation

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Max Makarov <maxpain177@gmail.com>

The QSD vhost-user-blk export sets opt_io_size=1 and min_io_size=1 in
the virtio config. These values are reported to the guest through the
VPD Block Limits page as OptimalTransferLength=1 block (512 bytes)
and OptimalTransferLengthGranularity=1 block.

Windows respects these hints and splits all I/O into ~512-byte
requests, causing ~100x sequential throughput degradation (150 MB/s
instead of 15+ GB/s). Linux is unaffected as its block layer ignores
these values.

Set both to 0 which means "not reported" per the SCSI Block Limits
VPD spec, allowing Windows to use its own optimal I/O size defaults.

[PULL 6/6] block: Fix crash after setting latency historygram with single bin

[Kevin Wolf]

Passing an empty list of boundaries to block-latency-histogram-set sets
up a state that leads to a NULL pointer dereference when the next
request should be accounted for. This is not a useful configuration, so
just error out if the user tries to set it.

The crash can easily be reproduced with the following script:

    qmp() {
    cat <<EOF
    {'execute':'qmp_capabilities'}
    {'execute':'block-latency-histogram-set',
     'arguments': {'id':'ide0','boundaries':[]}}
    {'execute':'cont'}
    EOF
    }

    qmp | ./qemu-system-x86_64 -S -qmp stdio \
        -drive if=none,format=raw,file=null-co:// \
        -device ide-hd,drive=none0,id=ide0
