[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/8] qom: introduce non-legacy static properties

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/8] qom: introduce non-legacy static properties

[Paolo Bonzini]

QOM right now does not have a way to communicate values for qdev
properties except as strings.  This is bad.

This patch improves the Property implementation so that properties
export a visitor-based interface in addition to the string-based
interface.  The new interface can then be registered as a "static"
property.  It's called static because it uses a struct field for
storage and, as such, should be present in all objects of a given
class.

Patches 1-3 are bugfixes and patch 4 is a cleanup, so please apply
those at least.

Example using qmp-shell:

x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
   -hda ~/test.img -snapshot -S \
   -qmp unix:/tmp/server.sock,server,nowait \
   -netdev type=user,id=net -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net,id=net \
   -net user,vlan=1 -device virtio-net-pci,id=net2,vlan=1 \
   -chardev id=stdio,backend=stdio -device isa-serial,chardev=stdio,id=serial

Boolean properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=command_serr_enable
{u'return': True}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=legacy<command_serr_enable>
{u'return': u'on'}

PCI address properties (perhaps will disappear later, but not yet):

(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=addr
{u'return': u'01.0'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=legacy<addr>
{u'return': u'01.0'}

String properties (QObject does not have NULL):

(QEMU) qom-get path=/vga property=romfile
{u'return': u'vgabios-cirrus.bin'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/vga property=legacy<romfile>
{u'return': u'"vgabios-cirrus.bin"'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=romfile
{u'return': {}}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=legacy<romfile>
{u'return': u'<null>'}

MAC properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=mac
{u'return': u'52:54:00:12:34:56'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=legacy<mac>
{u'return': u'52:54:00:12:34:56'}
(QEMU) qom-set path=/peripheral/net property=mac value=52-54-00-12-34-57
{u'error': {u'data': {}, u'class': u'PermissionDenied', u'desc': u'Insufficient permission to perform this operation'}}

Network properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=netdev
{u'return': u'net'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=legacy<netdev>
{u'return': u'net'}

VLAN properties:

{u'return': {}}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=legacy<vlan>
{u'return': u'<null>'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net2 property=vlan
{u'return': 1}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net2 property=legacy<vlan>
{u'return': u'1'}

Chardev properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=chardev
{u'return': u'stdio'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=legacy<chardev>
{u'return': u'stdio'}

Legacy hex32 properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=iobase
{u'return': 1016}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=legacy<iobase>
{u'return': u'0x3f8'}

Examples of setting properties (after disabling the DEV_STATE_CREATED
check for testing only):

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/8] qapi: fix NULL pointer dereference

[Paolo Bonzini]

QAPI currently cannot deal with no object pushed to the stack,
and dereferences a NULL pointer.  This is visible with

    qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=romfile

after static non-string properties are introduced.

I'm a bit confused about what's happening here.  What's the significance of 
non-string properties?

Should have been "static non-legacy properties".

When you don't have a value for a property, legacy properties are 
visited as "<null>", while the new static properties do not pass 
anything to the visitor.

I stole this from qdev_property_get_str:

     value = prop->get(dev, errp);
     if (value) {
         visit_type_str(v, &value, name, errp);
         g_free(value);
     }

I should more clearly document it.  NULL would be only return if errp was set. 
I just didn't want to introduce a local_err in order to be able to check whether 
the function failed.

If a property function does not set the Error pointer, it must visit something.

Hmm, then we have to introduce NULL into QJson and visitors.

Visitors assume that strings aren't nullable (which is actually true in JSON and 
in QString).

I also think that string properties shouldn't be nullable.

Unfortunately, qdev string properties are nullable and there might well 
be examples in which empty and NULL are different.  I'd rather not risk.

But JSON actually has NULL, so not all is lost.  I can introduce a 
nullable_str type in visitors (restricting structs and arrays should be 
fine, though).

I'd really prefer to stick to non-nullable strings as there is no obvious way to 
specify NULL in command line options.

What are the uses of null in qdev string properties?  I know you can't set a 
string to null since parse() doesn't have a null syntax.  So we're really just 
talking about an uninitialized state, right?

We can leave it as the default.  A property with a non-null default is 
implicitly not nullable, which actually makes some sense.  We can model 
this in get_string/set_string too.

Yes.  No ROM BAR is an example of a NULL string property.

So it's really filenames and backend names, right?  Can we just treat empty 
strings like NULL?  I think all of the various bits handles both the same way.

The only case I can think of when it differs is serial numbers.  An 
empty serial number is different from no serial number (which means do 
not expose one at all).

However, DEFINE_PROP_STRING does not allow setting a default, and some 
device models rely on a NULL value as a default.  I see two ways out: 1) 
add nullable strings; 2) merge without this patch, knowing qom-get is 
kind-of broken, and proceed adding a default to all DEFINE_PROP_STRING; 
this would be a merge nightmare for you.  3) merge without this patch, 
knowing it's kind-of broken, and later decide what to do.

Let's do (3), and add nullable strings if the discussion stalls.

Ok.  I think nullable strings are not a good idea simply because it means that a 
property can have a state that cannot be set.

Long term, I want to be able to do something like dump the current device graph 
to a config file, and then use that config file to recreate the same machine 
again.  A nullable property without a null representation would not allow this.

How is this different from NULL links?  (Honest, not trick question :)).

JSON null is such a representation.

An empty string == NULL for links.

If a pointer is NULL, an empty string is returned.  So get/set is full symmetric.

For JSON, but it doesn't map to a config file easily nor does it map to command 
line syntax well.

Ok, so we can do the same for "pointer" properties.  I'm just a bit 
worried about serial numbers, where "-device virtio-blk-pci,...,serial=" 
is different from no serial at all.  One shows "" in info qtree, the 
other shows <null>.

You can force nullable properties to have a null default (which is now 
the case in qdev), but I agree that's not too nice.

Both NULL and zero-length string are valid for "empty" though, so you
can use -device e1000,romfile=,mac=whatever to boot without pxe rom.

Which underlines anthonys point ;)

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/8] qapi: protect against NULL QObject in qmp_input_get_object

[Paolo Bonzini]

A NULL qobj can occur when a parameter is fetched via qdict_get, but
the parameter is not in the command.  By returning NULL, the caller can
choose whether to raise a missing parameter error, an invalid parameter
type error, or use a default value.  For example, qom-set could can
use this to reset a property to its default value, though at this time
it will fail with "Invalid parameter type".  In any case, anything is
better than crashing!

Yeah, this code path is currently dead as there is no way to test it until we 
defer s/init/realize/ and defer it to guest launch.

In my next series when I introduce Object and move properties into it, we can 
write some unit tests to cover this sort of thing.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/8] qom: push permission checks up into qdev_property_add_legacy

[Paolo Bonzini]

qdev_property_get and qdev_property_set can generate permission
denied errors themselves.  Do not duplicate this functionality in
qdev_get/set_legacy_property, and clean up excessive indentation.

I'd rather use generic errors when possible.  How about VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE and 
we can make the message "'%(item)' doesn't take value..." and pass "%s.%s" % 
(device, property) for item.

I didn't do this in the end for two reasons.

First, that it is inconsistent with other errors from qdev properties. 
Current master does not raise them when properties are accessed via QOM, 
but my revised series does.

Second, that it is actually provides less structured information. 
There's no reason why a client should be expected to "know" that %(item) 
is in that form.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/8] qom: introduce get/set methods for Property

[Paolo Bonzini]

This patch adds a visitor interface to Property.  This way, QOM will be
able to expose Properties that access a fixed field in a struct without
exposing also the everything-is-a-string "feature" of qdev properties.

Whenever the printed representation in both QOM and qdev (which is
typically the case for device backends), parse/print code can be reused
via get_generic/set_generic.  Dually, whenever multiple PropertyInfos
have the same representation in both the struct and the visitors the
code can be reused (for example among all of int32/uint32/hex32).

I think we should not touch these.  First it doesn't buy us much as we
are using the old parse/print functions for the visitor-based access,
which doesn't look like a good idea to me.  Also they will not stay but
will be converted to child<> and link<>, so I think it is better to keep
the old stuff in the legacy<> namespace.

Agree on the bit/bool/int types.  Although we maybe should apply some
care to integer bus properties, some of them are used for addressing and
will most likely replaced by child<> and link<> too.

I thought the same initially.  However, I noticed that the visitor 
interfaces for links is also a string.  So, even if a block/char/netdev 
property later becomes a link<>, the interface would not change.

Using the old parse/print functions and get_set/generic is only to avoid 
code duplication, I can surely inline everything but it would be uglier. 
  And again, I found an example in the code of using a similar adapter 
pattern (the string properties).

There is one case where I had doubts, namely the PCI address properties. 
  They will be replaced by links that you set in the parent.  However, 
in the end I decided to start this way because:

1) QOM properties can still come and go at this stage;

2) The PCI address property can still stay forever as a synthetic 
property declared by PCIDevice, so the "qom-get" ABI won't change.  The 
"qom-set" ABI will, so it might be better to do:

  PropertyInfo qdev_prop_pci_devfn = {
      .name  = "pci-devfn",
      .type  = PROP_TYPE_UINT32,
      .size  = sizeof(uint32_t),
      .parse = parse_pci_devfn,
      .print = print_pci_devfn,
+    .get   = get_pci_devfn,
+    .set   = NULL,
  };

Advantages: it shows that setting the PCI address is (going to be) a 
legacy feature;

Disadvantages: looks a little ad-hoc.  See below for an alternative.

Yes, these will also become synthetic and read-only.  So an alternative 
could be:

    for (prop = dev->info->props; prop && prop->name; prop++) {
        qdev_property_add_legacy(dev, prop, NULL);

        /* Let the generic initializer register alternative definitions
         * for qdev properties.
         */
        if (!qdev_property_find(dev, prop->name) {
            qdev_property_add_static(dev, prop, NULL);
        }
    }

    for (prop = dev->info->bus_info->props; prop && prop->name; prop++) {
        qdev_property_add_legacy(dev, prop, NULL);
        if (!qdev_property_find(dev, prop->name) {
            qdev_property_add_static(dev, prop, NULL);
        }
    }

For now the pci_devfn property remains read-write, but as soon as the 
PCIDevice will be able to define it as synthetic, it will become read-only.

The semantics change though.  A "drive" link takes a flat block device name. 
When it's converted to a link, it will take a QOM path.  Since block devices 
will exist in their own directory, it will certainly still be possible to use 
the flat block device name but since a paths will also be supported, I think 
it's best to clearly distinguish the link based property from the flat block 
device name property.

But it's a superset, no?

My concern is whether you'll get a graceful failure going new->old if you start 
making use of absolute paths.

The type name would change, so I guess that's good enough.

[Paolo Bonzini]

For non-string properties, there is no reason to distinguish type names
such as "uint32" or "hex32".  Restrict those to legacy properties.

I think this confuses the legacy type with the legacy property names.

I think it would be better to do 'legacy-%s' as then it's at least clear when 
something is a type name vs. a property name.

That's only in 8/8.  Here I'm not changing property names yet, note that 
everything is in prop->info.

This patch prepares for when you'll have a legacy<hex32> type for 
property legacy<iobase>, and uint32 for iobase.  But I can surely rename 
legacy<iobase> to legacy-iobase, if that's what you meant.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/8] qom: introduce non-legacy static properties

[Paolo Bonzini]

QOM right now does not have a way to communicate values for qdev
properties except as strings.  This is bad.

This patch improves the Property implementation so that properties
export a visitor-based interface in addition to the string-based
interface.  The new interface can then be registered as a "static"
property.  It's called static because it uses a struct field for
storage and, as such, should be present in all objects of a given
class.

Patches 1-2 are bugfixes and patches 3-4 are cleanups.

Example using qmp-shell:

x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
   -hda ~/test.img -snapshot -S \
   -qmp unix:/tmp/server.sock,server,nowait \
   -netdev type=user,id=net -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net,id=net \
   -net user,vlan=1 -device virtio-net-pci,id=net2,vlan=1 \
   -chardev id=stdio,backend=stdio -device isa-serial,chardev=stdio,id=serial

Boolean properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=command_serr_enable
{u'return': True}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=legacy<command_serr_enable>
{u'return': u'on'}

PCI address properties (perhaps will disappear later, but not yet):

(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=addr
{u'return': u'01.0'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=legacy-addr
{u'return': u'01.0'}

String properties (NULL mapped to empty string):

(QEMU) qom-get path=/vga property=romfile
{u'return': u'vgabios-cirrus.bin'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/vga property=legacy-romfile
{u'return': u'"vgabios-cirrus.bin"'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=romfile
{u'return': u''}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/i440fx/piix3 property=legacy-romfile
{u'return': u'<null>'}

MAC properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=mac
{u'return': u'52:54:00:12:34:56'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=legacy-mac
{u'return': u'52:54:00:12:34:56'}
(QEMU) qom-set path=/peripheral/net property=mac value=52-54-00-12-34-57
{u'error': {u'data': {}, u'class': u'PermissionDenied', u'desc': u'Insufficient permission to perform this operation'}}

Network properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=netdev
{u'return': u'net'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=legacy-netdev
{u'return': u'net'}

VLAN properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=vlan
{u'return': -1}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net property=legacy-vlan
{u'return': u'<null>'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net2 property=vlan
{u'return': 1}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net2 property=legacy-vlan
{u'return': u'1'}

Chardev properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=chardev
{u'return': u'stdio'}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=legacy-chardev
{u'return': u'stdio'}

Legacy hex32 properties:

(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=iobase
{u'return': 1016}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=legacy-iobase
{u'return': u'0x3f8'}

Examples of setting properties (after disabling the DEV_STATE_CREATED
check for testing only):

(QEMU) qom-set path=/peripheral/net2 property=vlan value=-1
{u'return': {}}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net2 property=vlan
{u'return': -1}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/net2 property=legacy-vlan
{u'return': u'<null>'}

(QEMU) qom-set path=/peripheral/serial property=iobase value=760
{u'return': {}}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=iobase
{u'return': 760}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/peripheral/serial property=legacy-iobase
{u'return': u'0x2f8'}

v2->v3:
	Tweaks to patch 4.

v1->v2:
        New "qom: interpret the return value when setting legacy
        properties".  Always pass a value to the visitor when there
        is no error.  Handle empty strings as NULL.  Did not change
        QERR_PROPERTY_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE because it is consistent
        with other QERR_PROPERTY_* errors, now used by QOM too.

Paolo Bonzini (8):
  qapi: protect against NULL QObject in qmp_input_get_object
  qom: fix swapped parameters
  qom: push permission checks up into qdev_property_add_legacy
  qom: interpret the return value when setting legacy properties
  qom: introduce QERR_PROPERTY_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE
  qom: introduce get/set methods for Property
  qom: distinguish "legacy" property type name from QOM type name
  qom: register qdev properties also as non-legacy properties

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/8] qom: introduce get/set methods for Property

[Paolo Bonzini]

This patch adds a visitor interface to Property.  This way, QOM will be
able to expose Properties that access a fixed field in a struct without
exposing also the everything-is-a-string "feature" of qdev properties.

Whenever the printed representation in both QOM and qdev (which is
typically the case for device backends), parse/print code can be reused
via get_generic/set_generic.  Dually, whenever multiple PropertyInfos
have the same representation in both the struct and the visitors the
code can be reused (for example among all of int32/uint32/hex32).
