[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Geometry and blocksize detection for backing devices.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Geometry and blocksize detection for backing devices.

[Ekaterina Tumanova]

This 3rd revision of the patch set.

Proper geometry and blocksize information is vital for support of
DASD/ECKD drives in Linux guests. Otherwise things will fail in
certain cases.

The existing geometry and blocksize qemu defaults have no sense
for DASD drives (hd_geometry_guess detection and 512 for sizes).
Setting this information manually in XML file is far from user-friendly,
as the admin has to manually look up the properties of the
host disks and then modify the guest definition accordingly.

Since Linux uses DASDs as normal block devices, we actually
want to use virtio-blk to pass those to KVM guests.

In order to avoid any change in behavior of other drives, the DASD
special casing was advised. We call ioctl BIODASDINFO2 on the block
device, which will only succeed if the device is really a DASD.

In order to retrieve the underlying device geometry and blocksizes
a new block-backend functions and underlying driver functions were
introduced (blk_probe_blocksizes anf blk_probe_geometry wrappers
and corresponding bdrv_xxxxxx functions).

As for now only "host_device" driver received new detection methods.
For "raw" we call childs method as usual. In future one may update
other drivers to add some other detection heuristics.

If the host_device appears to be a DASD, the driver functions
(hdev_probe_blocksizes and hdev_probe_geometry) will call certain
ioctls in order to detect geometry and blocksizes of the underlying device.
if probing failed bdrv_probe_blocksizes caller will set defaults,
and bdrv_probe_geometry will fail to allow fallback to old detection logic.

The front-end (BlockConf API) was updated:
1. a new blkconf_blocksizes function was added. It doesn't
change user-defined blocksize values. If properties are unset, it will
set values, returned by blk_probe_backend. In order to allow this logic,
blocksize properties were initialized with 0. (driver will return 512 if
backing device probing didn't succeed or if driver method is not defined).
2. hd_geometry guess was changed to firstly try to retrieve values via
blk_probe_geometry and if it fails, fallback to the old logic.

updates from v2:
- avoid passing structs as a function result in backend part
- fix patch desctiptions
- add the blkconf_blocksizes call to all the users of BlockConf
- do not change geometry and blocksize values set via command-line, to do that:
remove hardcoding 512 in DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES. set defaults in
blk_probe_blocksizes (now always succeeds) and call it only if property is 0.
- fix cylinders calculation.
- document blk_probe_geometry call as "currently only for DASD".
- anything I forgot :)

I think the "camel-case" should already use a capital letter for the
first letter, so may I suggest to change that into "HdGeometry" instead
of "hdGeometry"? (Or maybe something like "DiskGeometry" instead?)

Looks fine to me (apart from the very minor camel-case issue above):

Suggest not to talk about failure here.  Like this:

/**
 * Get @bs's logical and physical block size, store them in @bsz.
 */

> +void bdrv_probe_blocksizes(BlockDriverState *bs, BlockSizes *bsz)

Dies when @bs is empty (no medium).  Either return default block sizes
instead, or amend the function contract with "@bs must not be empty."

Should've caught that in v2, sorry.

Dies when @bs is empty (no medium).  Either return -ENOMEDIUM instead,
or amend the function contract with "@bs must not be empty."  The former
seems simpler to me.

This is not a negative errno!  I'd return -ENOTSUP.

I recommend a function contract, not just a paraphrasing of the function
name.  The one you put in block.c needs just a small touchup to fit
here nicely:

/**
 * Try to get @bs's logical and physical block size.
 * On success, store them in @bsz and return zero.
 * On failure, return negative errno.
 */

Is "return 0" the right thing here? Or should this function rather
return an error code if no ioctl was available?
(I know you're not using the return value yet, but it might get
important later)

Can we be sure that the &bs->request_alignment is not changed in case
the ioctl failed? If not, it might be necessary to do something like
this instead:

    if (probe_logical_blocksize(fd, &bs->request_alignment) != 0) {
        bs->request_alignment = 0;
    }

I figure this works, but perhaps the following would be clearer:

       if (probe_logical_blocksize(fd, &bs->request_alignment) < 0) {
           bs->request_alignment = 0;
       }

Your call.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/5] block: Add driver methods to probe blocksizes and geometry

[Ekaterina Tumanova]

This patch introduces driver methods of defining disk blocksizes
(physical and logical) and hard drive geometry.
The method is only implemented for "host_device". For "raw" devices
driver calls child's method.

For the time being geometry detection will only work for DASD devices.
In order to check that a local check_for_dasd function was introduced,
which calls BIODASDINFO2 ioctl and returns its rc.

Blocksizes detection fuction will probe sizes for DASD devices and
set default for other devices.

I'd put the "return -1" line into an #else branch of the #ifdef, so
that you do not end up with two consecutive return statements in case
BIODASDINFO2 is defined.

Maybe add a comment here why you've got to calculate the cylinders here
instead of using ioctl_geo.cylinders ?

Hmmm, raw_probe_blocksizes() calls bdrv_probe_blocksizes(), but when I
look at your patch 1/5, bdrv_probe_blocksizes() wants to call
drv->bdrv_probe_blocksizes() (i.e. raw_probe_blocksizes()) again?
Don't you get an endless recursive loop here? Or did I miss something?

No I don't :) Because raw_probe_blocksizes indeed calls 
bdrv_probe_blocksizes() dispatcher, but it calls it against different
driver: "bs->file". This child points to other driver, which represents
the actual nature of the device.

So the 2nd drv->bdrv_probe_blocksizes() call will actually be
a call to either hdev_probe_blocksizes() for "host_device" driver or
will be null for other drivers.

Ah, ok, you're right of course! Thanks for the explanation and sorry

Set?

Ah, now I get your logic, you mean "set *blk_size"!

Suggest to say it like this:

/**
 * Get physical block size of @fd.
 * On success, store it in @blk_size and return 0.
 * On failure, return -errno.
 */

If !defined(BLKPBSZGET), you return 0 without setting *blk_size.  I
think you need to fail then.  -ENOTSUP should do.

Compare to the function contract I wrote for the callback in my review
of PATCH 1.  If you like that one better, feel free to reuse it here.

This is not a negative error code!  -ENOTSUP.

Correct, just a bit awkward due to the difference between
bdrv_probe_blocksizes() and ->bdrv_probe_blocksizes().  I guess I'd make
them the same, but it's your patch.

I think would stick with my approach. You mentioned during review of
v2, that blk_probe_blocksizes should always just work. And I think it's
right.
An error code from a method allows me to set a default in the wrapper.
So wrapper will never fail.

Thanks a lot for your review! I'll try to post a new version ASAP.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 5/5] BlockConf: Call backend functions to detect geometry and blocksizes

[Ekaterina Tumanova]

geometry: hd_geometry_guess function autodetects the drive geometry.
This patch adds a block backend call, that probes the backing device
geometry. If the inner driver method is implemented and succeeds
(currently only for DASDs), the blkconf_geometry will pass-through
the backing device geometry. Otherwise will fallback to old logic.

blocksize: This patch initializes blocksize properties to 0.
In order to set the properly a blkconf_blocksizes was introduced.
If user didn't set physical or logical blocksize, it will
retrieve it's value from a driver (which will return a default 512 for
any backend but DASD).

The blkconf_blocksizes call was added to all users of BlkConf.

Can you get rid of the "goto" above by placing an "else" in front of
this if-statement?

This works because you change the default block size to 0 (second to

Much easier to gauge than v2.  Geometry change is a compatibility
problem.  You change it only when blk_probe_geometry() succeeds.  It
succeeds only for DASD.  Mission accomplished.

Recommend to add a hint to the function contract of the
bdrv_probe_geometry() callback in block_int.h:

    /**
     * Try to get @bs's geometry (cyls, heads, sectos)
     * On success, store them in @geo and return 0.
     * On failure return -errno.
     * Only drivers that want to override guest geometry implement this
     * callback; see hd_geometry_guess().
     */
    int (*bdrv_probe_geometry)(BlockDriverState *bs, hdGeometry *geo);

But this allows to avoid the ioctl call when user has specified both

It's device model setup, i.e. not a fast path.  I'd favor simplicity and
compactness over speed there.

friendly *ping* to maintainers of block layer :) I would rather not send 
next version without getting your feedback first.

No longer applies cleanly, please rebase.

Sorry for taking so long to review.  Your general approach looks sound
to me now.  There are a few trivial bugs / inaccuracies here and there,
and of course I found some nits to pick.
