[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] v2 Decouple block device removal from device removal

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] v2 Decouple block device removal from device removal

[Ryan Harper]

This patch series decouples the detachment of a block device from the removal
of the backing pci-device.  Removal of a hotplugged pci device requires the
guest to respond before qemu tears down the block device. In some cases, the
guest may not respond leaving the guest with continued access to the block
device.  

The new monitor command, drive_unplug, will revoke a guests access to the
block device independently of the removal of the pci device.

The first patch adds a new drive find method, the second patch implements the
monitor command and block layer changes.

Changes since v1:
- CodingStyle fixes
- Added qemu_aio_flush() to bdrv_unplug()

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] v2 Fix Block Hotplug race with drive_unplug()

[Ryan Harper]

Block hot unplug is racy since the guest is required to acknowlege the ACPI
unplug event; this may not happen synchronously with the device removal command

This series aims to close a gap where by mgmt applications that assume the
block resource has been removed without confirming that the guest has
acknowledged the removal may re-assign the underlying device to a second guest
leading to data leakage.

This series introduces a new montor command to decouple asynchornous device
removal from restricting guest access to a block device.  We do this by creating
a new monitor command drive_unplug which maps to a bdrv_unplug() command which
does a qemu_aio_flush; bdrv_flush() and bdrv_close().  Once complete, subsequent
IO is rejected from the device and the guest will get IO errors but continue to
function.

A subsequent device removal command can be issued to remove the device, to which
the guest may or maynot respond, but as long as the unplugged bit is set, no IO
will be sumbitted.

Changes since v1:
- Added qemu_aio_flush() before bdrv_flush() to wait on pending io

The name 'drive_unplug' suggests to me that the drive object is
not being deleted/free()d ? Is that correct understanding, and if
so, what is responsible for finally free()ing the drive backend ?

Daniel

It's technically the BlockDriverState Driver that we're closing.  To
fully release the remaining resources, a device_del is required (which
of course requires guest participation with the current
interface).

Once QEMU issues the removal request, the guest responds and the piix4
acpi handler for pciej_write writes invokes qdev_free() on the target
device.  qdev_free() on the pci device will make it's way to the qdev
exit handler registered for virtio-blk devices, virtio_blk_exit_pci().
virtio_blk_exit_pci() marks the drive structure for deletion.  When qdev
calls the properties handler, it invokes free_drive() on the disk and
that calls blockdev_auto_del() which will do a bdrv_delete() which nukes
the remaining objects (the acutal BlockDriverState).

I think I got the whole path in there.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense to me.

Sounds like we do still need a separate drive_del in the future to 
handle the different case of, drive_add, followed by a device_add
attempt which fails.

So is this basically what blockdev_del is supposed to become one day?

Copying Markus to have a look at this. I'm sure he has some thoughts on
it as he was planning to implement blockdev_add/del.

Yes, Ryan's drive_unplug is quite close to my blockdev_del.  However, my
blockdev_del is part of a more ambitious job, namely to cleanly separate
host and guest part of block devices.  A whole lot of preliminary
cleanups have made it in so far, but not the actual commands.

I'll reply in more detail to the latest version of the patch series.
