[PATCH 0/4] block/file: Show extent size in qemu-img info

[Hanna Reitz]

Hi,

This series makes qemu-img info print the extent size of an image file
(if available).  To do so, we have to do a couple of things:
1. Add a .bdrv_get_specific_info handler to the file-posix driver
   (patch 4)
2. Have bdrv_query_image_info() collect this driver-specific info not
   only on the format level, but also on the protocol level (if there is
   an unambiguous node) so we actually get the information from the
   file-posix node when querying whatever format node is on top
   (patch 2)
3. Have bdrv_image_info_dump() print this protocol-level information
   (patch 3)

Extent size informations seems unavailable on ext4 at least, so if we
did just this, you would see the following for an image on ext4:

```
$ qemu-img info -f raw test.img
image: test.img
file format: raw
virtual size: 1 MiB (1048576 bytes)
disk size: 4 KiB
Protocol specific information:
```

That last part looks a bit strange -- it's a heading without a section.
So patch 1 makes bdrv_image_info_specific_dump() omit that heading if
there is no information that can be printed.

[PATCH 1/4] block: Improve empty format-specific info dump

[Hanna Reitz]

When a block driver supports obtaining format-specific information, but
that object only contains optional fields, it is possible that none of
them are present, so that dump_qobject() (called by
bdrv_image_info_specific_dump()) will not print anything.

The callers of bdrv_image_info_specific_dump() put a header above this
information ("Format specific information:\n"), which will look strange
when there is nothing below.  Modify bdrv_image_info_specific_dump() to
print this header instead of its callers, and only if there is indeed
something to be printed.

[PATCH 2/4] block: Add protocol-specific image info

[Hanna Reitz]

The ImageInfo object currently only contains (optional) format-specific
image information.  However, perhaps the protocol node can provide some
additional information, so add a new field presenting it.

I'm not a fan of this one. It solves the problem for exactly one special
case (even if admittedly a common one) and leaves everything else as it
is. It is unclear what it produces in configurations that aren't the
simple one format node on top of one protocol node layout.

I would rather interpret 'format-specific' as 'driver-specific' and make
the ImageInfo for any child node accessible.

With rbd we already interpret it like a generic driver thing that is not
just for formats that because it implements .bdrv_get_specific_info even
though we didn't have a 'protocol-specific' yet.

Making other nodes has precedence, too. 'backing-image' is even in the
context of this hunk. VMDK exposes its extents the same way. So maybe
what we really want is a 'children' list with the ImageInfo of every
child node. And then qemu-img could go through all children and print
headings like "Driver specific information for file (#block123)". Then
filters like blkdebug could add their information and it would be
printed, too.

If bs is already a leaf node, this duplicates the information, which
looks weird:

    $ build/qemu-img info -f file ~/tmp/test.raw
    image: /home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw
    file format: file
    virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
    disk size: 7.63 GiB
    Format specific information:
        extent size: 1048576
    Protocol specific information:
        extent size: 1048576

I don’t disagree, but I do wonder how often this structure is used 
outside of `qemu-img info`, where filter nodes and more complex 
configurations are very rare.  I understand wanting to support complex 
block graph configurations everywhere, I’m just wondering whether there 
is actually much of a use for that here.

> I would rather interpret 'format-specific' as 'driver-specific' and make
> the ImageInfo for any child node accessible.

Again, I don’t disagree, but I have reservations about that.  I don’t 
think this is a trivial approach to take.

First, that will be kind of bad for VMDK files, which already have all 
of their extent children in their driver-specific info, so we’d 
duplicate that info.

Second, same for the backing child, generally.  Do we want to exclude 
specifically the backing child from that list of ImageInfos for all 
children, because we already have an entry for it in ImageInfo itself?  
That wouldn’t make much sense.  Deprecate backing-child?  Works for the 
future, weird in the meantime.

Third, the implementation would not be trivial. bdrv_query_image_info() 
specifically says to return "flat" image information, i.e. not to query 
the backing child information. Currently, its callers fill that blank 
some way or another, with `qemu-img info` creating a list of files (i.e. 
the backing chain) instead of using that backing-image field.  I 
actually have no idea how we should bring that together.  Should 
bdrv_query_image_info() also not collect that ImageInfo list of all 
children, and then collect_image_info_list() will put those into its 
list, too, making it recursive?  Then we have the problem of describing 
nodes in this graph, and as written below I wouldn’t be happy to use 
auto-generated node names for this.  Or should bdrv_query_image_info() 
collect all those children, and then collect_image_info_list() will just 
drop the backing child from them, so that it still gets a flat backing 
chain list, but the other children will be nested, allowing users to 
identify which nodes those are based on nesting?  (And nesting would 
require adding indentation support to bdrv_image_info_dump(), and 
bdrv_snapshot_dump().)

Fourth, precisely for the common case of not having filters or other 
more complex configurations, the additional info provided by the 
protocol node’s ImageInfo is limited.  Most of it just duplicates 
information from the format node, the really interesting bit is just the 
ImageInfoSpecific, so for `qemu-img info` it’ll mostly just clutter the 
output.  Many fields are also named on the assumption that this 
information is about a format node ("file format", "virtual size"), and 
so I personally find it confusing to see those things in the information 
about a protocol node when using `qemu-img info`.

On one hand, that’s the same thing I’m doing in this series.  On the 
other, I think the rbd implementation as a whole has not been well 
thought out, because it must have faced exactly the same problem that 
I’m trying to solve in this patch here, but obviously it hasn’t been 
addressed yet.

(Instead, it probably relied on users calling `qemu-img info -f rbd`, 
which is just cheating.  I mean, I could do that, too, and just drop 
anything but patch 4.)

Both of which now make the solution to include the list of all 
children’s ImageInfos just more complicated, yes. O:)

(I know that me saying that simply means that these were probably bad 
solutions then, and that maybe we should’ve had a list of all children’s 
ImageInfos from the start.  Which means dancing around the issue even 
more won’t make it better, I know.  O:)  I’m just trying to say that 
simply adding this list isn’t an ideal solution now, under the current 
circumstances; but I’m not saying there is any ideal solution.)

I would very much rather drop auto-generated node names, and instead 
just print the child name and rely on indentation.  I have an example below.

Is this really something that would ever be useful in practice?


I understand your concern (and share it to a degree), but I feel like 
allowing for this ImageInfo struct to represent and encompass a complex 
block graph comes at the detriment of readability and understandability 
of `qemu-img info` output for plain images.

For example, this is how I’d imagine the output for a raw image:

image: test.raw
file format: raw
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 1 MiB
child 'file':
     image: test.raw
     file format: file
     virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
     disk size: 1 MiB
     Driver specific information:
         extent size: 1048576

Personally, I like that less than what this series’s v1 produces.  I 
understand it represents the modular nature of the block graph, but 
that’s generally not something I want to see when I run `qemu-img info` 
on a plain image (which is 98 % of the use I have for `qemu-img info`).

Can/should we fall back to stat's st_blksize when the ioctl produces
nothing?

I don’t think so, that’s a different value.  For example, by default, we 
use an extent-size-hint of 1 MB for new images (which is applied at 
least on XFS), but that doesn’t change st_blksize (which is 4096 here).  
So I’d only report the extent-size for filesystems that actually 
differentiate between the two.

It's not "the extent size" (the whole point of extents is that they
don't have a fixed size like blocks), but an extent size *hint* that
tells the filesystem the minimum size to allocate for an extent. The
xfs_io man page calls it the preferred extent size for allocatino, which
works for the documentation if you prefer, but BlockdevCreateOptionsFile
has 'extent-size-hint', so I'd prefer consistency on the wire at least.
