[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/2] Fixes/tests for hmp_object_del()

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/2] Fixes/tests for hmp_object_del()

[Michael Roth]

hmp_object_del() followed by a subsequent hmp_object_add() can trigger a
duplicate ID error if the previous object shared the same ID and was added
via the command-line. Please see patch 2/2 for more details.

This patchset fixes the issue in question and adds some general unit tests
for object created via -object, which we later extend to verify the fix in
question.

Changes since v3:

  - Fixed up comment formating (Markus)
  - Instead of segfaulting, use &error_abort if assumptions about
    'object' property group existence change (Markus)
  - Use g_assert_null in place of g_assert(... == NULL) (Markus)

Changes since v2:

  - Moved the generic unit tests ahead of the fix patch, with a FIXME
    in place of the actual check for the failure addressed in patch
    2/2 (Daniel/Markus)
  - Dropped check for existence of objects' QemuOptsList (Markus)
  - Dropped unintended whitespace removal in PATCH 1/2
  - Slight rewording of commit messages to reflect the changes and fix
    minor grammar errors.

Changes since v1:

  - Moved QemuOpt cleanup out of {qmp,hmp}_object_del() and into common
    user_creatable_del() path (Daniel, David)
  - Added corresponding test case in check-qom-proplist

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] tests: check-qom-proplist: add checks for cmdline-created objects

[Michael Roth]

check-qom-proplist originally added tests for verifying that
object-creation helpers object_new_with_{props,propv} behaved in
similar fashion to the "traditional" method involving setting each
individual property separately after object creation rather than
via a single call.

Another similar "helper" for creating Objects exists in the form of
objects specified via -object command-line parameters. By that
rationale, we extend check-qom-proplist to include similar checks
for command-line-created objects by employing the same
qemu_opts_parse()-based parsing the vl.c employs.

This parser has a side-effect of parsing the object's options into
a QemuOpt structure and registering this in the global QemuOptsList
using the Object's ID. This can conflict with future Object instances
that attempt to use the same ID if we don't ensure this is cleaned
up as part of Object finalization, so we include a FIXME stub to test
for this case, which will then be resolved in a subsequent patch.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] tests: check-qom-proplist: add checks for cmdline-created objects

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

I notice this pair of patches doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.
WHile it's labelled as a monitor fix, it's all QOM stuff, so I don't
think it should be going via me.

It's somewhere between QOM and QemuOpts.  Andreas, please have a look.
Feel free to ask me to take the patch through my tree.

I considered applying the series to qapi-next, and realized I'm not sure
what the latest version is.  I could peruse the archives, but that's
work.  Mike, would you mind resending your latest version?

This version (v4) is the latest, but I've rebased/re-tested on master
and re-submitted those as v5. Thanks!

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] monitor: fix object_del for command-line-created objects

[Michael Roth]

Currently objects specified on the command-line are only partially
cleaned up when 'object_del' is issued in either HMP or QMP: the
object itself is fully finalized, but the QemuOpts are not removed.
This results in the following behavior:

  x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio \
    -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=256M

  QEMU 2.7.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information
  (qemu) object_del ram1
  (qemu) object_del ram1
  object 'ram1' not found
  (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=256M
  Duplicate ID 'ram1' for object
  Try "help object_add" for more information

which can be an issue for use-cases like memory hotplug.

This happens on the HMP side because hmp_object_add() attempts to
create a temporary QemuOpts entry with ID 'ram1', which ends up
conflicting with the command-line-created entry, since it was never
cleaned up during the previous hmp_object_del() call.

We address this by adding a check in user_creatable_del(), which
is called by both qmp_object_del() and hmp_object_del() to handle
the actual object cleanup, to determine whether an option group entry
matching the object's ID is present and removing it if it is.

Note that qmp_object_add() never attempts to create a temporary
QemuOpts entry, so it does not encounter the duplicate ID error,
which is why this isn't generally visible in libvirt.
