Hanna Reitz 111fbd74f6 qemu-img: Unify [-b [-F]] documentation
qemu-img convert documents the backing file and backing format options
as follows:
    [-B backing_file [-F backing_fmt]]
whereas qemu-img create has this:
    [-b backing_file] [-F backing_fmt]

That is, for convert, we document that -F cannot be given without -B,
while for create, way say that they are independent.

Indeed, it is technically possible to give -F without -b, because it is
left to the block driver to decide whether this is an error or not, so
sometimes it is:

$ qemu-img create -f qed -F qed test.qed 64M
Formatting 'test.qed', fmt=qed size=67108864 backing_fmt=qed [...]

And sometimes it is not:

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F qcow2 test.qcow2 64M
Formatting 'test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 [...]
qemu-img: test.qcow2: Backing format cannot be used without backing file

Generally, it does not make much sense, though, and users should only
give -F with -b, so document it that way, as we have already done for
qemu-img convert (commit 1899bf4737).

Eric Blake 1899bf4737 qemu-img: Add -F shorthand to convert
Although we have long supported 'qemu-img convert -o
backing_file=foo,backing_fmt=bar', the fact that we have a shortcut -B
for backing_file but none for backing_fmt has made it more likely that
users accidentally run into:

qemu-img: warning: Deprecated use of backing file without explicit backing format

when using -B instead of -o.  For similarity with other qemu-img
commands, such as create and compare, add '-F $fmt' as the shorthand
for '-o backing_fmt=$fmt'.  Update iotest 122 for coverage of both
spellings.

Eric Blake 15e39ad950 qemu-img: Add convert --bitmaps option
Make it easier to copy all the persistent bitmaps of (the top layer
of) a source image along with its guest-visible contents, by adding a
boolean flag for use with qemu-img convert.  This is basically
shorthand, as the same effect could be accomplished with a series of
'qemu-img bitmap --add' and 'qemu-img bitmap --merge -b source'
commands, or by their corresponding QMP commands.

Note that this command will fail in the same scenarios where 'qemu-img
measure' omits a 'bitmaps size:' line, namely, when either the source
or the destination lacks persistent bitmap support altogether.

See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1779893

While touching this, clean up a couple coding issues spotted in the
same function: an extra blank line, and merging back-to-back 'if
(!skip_create)' blocks.

Eric Blake 3b51ab4bf0 qemu-img: Add bitmap sub-command
Include actions for --add, --remove, --clear, --enable, --disable, and
--merge (note that --clear is a bit of fluff, because the same can be
accomplished by removing a bitmap and then adding a new one in its
place, but it matches what QMP commands exist).  Listing is omitted,
because it does not require a bitmap name and because it was already
possible with 'qemu-img info'.  A single command line can play one or
more bitmap commands in sequence on the same bitmap name (although all
added bitmaps share the same granularity, and and all merged bitmaps
come from the same source file).  Merge defaults to other bitmaps in
the primary image, but can also be told to merge bitmaps from a
distinct image.

While this supports --image-opts for the file being modified, I did
not think it worth the extra complexity to support that for the source
file in a cross-file merges.  Likewise, I chose to have --merge only
take a single source rather than following the QMP support for
multiple merges in one go (although you can still use more than one
--merge in the command line); in part because qemu-img is offline and
therefore atomicity is not an issue.

Upcoming patches will add iotest coverage of these commands while
also testing other features.

John Snow 13c24edaa7 qemu-img: fix .hx and .texi disparity
It turns out that having options listed in three places continues to be
a bad idea. I'm still toying with the idea of an improved infrastructure
here, but in the meantime, another bandaid.

There are three locations:
(1) .hx file, formatted as texi
(2) .hx file, formatted as human readable.
(3) .texi file, as section headers, formatted as texi.

You can compare the two summaries within the .hx file like so:

Human-readable command summaries:
`./qemu-img --help | grep 'Command syntax' -A14`
Detokenized texi command summaries:
`grep "@item" qemu-img-cmds.hx | sed -E 's|@var\{([^\}]*?)\}|\1|g'`

You can compare the two separate texi summaries like so:

Texi command summaries:
`grep "@item" qemu-img-cmds.hx"`
Texi command headers:
grep -E "@item.*@var" qemu-img.texi | tail -14

John Snow 6e6e55f5c2 qemu-img: Check for backing image if specified during create
Or, rather, force the open of a backing image if one was specified
for creation. Using a similar -unsafe option as rebase, allow qemu-img
to ignore the backing file validation if possible.

It may not always be possible, as in the existing case when a filesize
for the new image was not specified.

This is accomplished by shifting around the conditionals in
bdrv_img_create, such that a backing file is always opened unless we
provide BDRV_O_NO_BACKING. qemu-img is adjusted to pass this new flag
when -u is provided to create.

Sorry for the heinous looking diffstat, but it's mostly whitespace.

Peter Lieven 2d9187bc65 qemu-img: make convert async
the convert process is currently completely implemented with sync operations.
That means it reads one buffer and then writes it. No parallelism and each sync
request takes as long as it takes until it is completed.

This can be a big performance hit when the convert process reads and writes
to devices which do not benefit from kernel readahead or pagecache.
In our environment we heavily have the following two use cases when using
qemu-img convert.

a) reading from NFS and writing to iSCSI for deploying templates
b) reading from iSCSI and writing to NFS for backups

In both processes we use libiscsi and libnfs so we have no kernel cache.

This patch changes the convert process to work with parallel running coroutines
which can significantly improve performance for network storage devices:

qemu-img (master)
 nfs -> iscsi 22.8 secs
 nfs -> ram   11.7 secs
 ram -> iscsi 12.3 secs

qemu-img-async (8 coroutines, in-order write disabled)
 nfs -> iscsi 11.0 secs
 nfs -> ram   10.4 secs
 ram -> iscsi  9.0 secs

This patches introduces 2 new cmdline parameters. The -m parameter to specify
the number of coroutines running in parallel (defaults to 8). And the -W parameter to
allow qemu-img to write to the target out of order rather than sequential. This improves
performance as the writes do not have to wait for each other to complete.

Kevin Wolf 83de9be0dc qemu-img bench: Implement -S (step size)
With this new option, qemu-img bench can be told to advance the current
offset after each request by a different value than the buffer size.
This is useful for controlling the conditions for cluster allocation in
image formats (e.g. qcow2 cluster allocation with COW in front of the
request, or COW areas that aren't overwritten immediately).

Daniel P. Berrange eb769f7420 qemu-img: allow specifying image as a set of options args
Currently qemu-img allows an image filename to be passed on the
command line, but unless using the JSON format, it does not have
a way to set any options except the format eg

   qemu-img info https://127.0.0.1/images/centos7.iso

This adds a --image-opts arg that indicates that the positional
filename should be interpreted as a full option string, not
just a filename.

   qemu-img info --image-opts driver=https,url=https://127.0.0.1/images,sslverify=off

This flag is mutually exclusive with the '-f' / '-F' flags.

Max Reitz bd39e6ed0b qemu-img: Allow cache mode specification for amend
qemu-img amend may extensively modify the target image, depending on the
options to be amended (e.g. conversion to qcow2 compat level 0.10 from
1.1 for an image with many unallocated zero clusters). Therefore it
makes sense to allow the user to specify the cache mode to be used.

Max Reitz 40055951a7 qemu-img: Allow source cache mode specification
Many qemu-img subcommands only read the source file(s) once. For these
use cases, a full write-back cache is unnecessary and mainly clutters
host cache memory. Though this is generally no concern as cache memory
is freely available and can be scaled by the host OS, it may become a
concern with thin provisioning.

For these cases, it makes sense to allow users to freely specify the
source cache mode (e.g. use no cache at all).

This commit adds a new switch (-T) for the qemu-img subcommands check,
compare, convert and rebase to specify the cache to be used for source
images (the backing file in case of rebase).
