According to the NBD spec, a server that advertises
NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN promises that multiple client connections will
not see any cache inconsistencies: when properly separated by a single
flush, actions performed by one client will be visible to another
client, regardless of which client did the flush.
We always satisfy these conditions in qemu - even when we support
multiple clients, ALL clients go through a single point of reference
into the block layer, with no local caching. The effect of one client
is instantly visible to the next client. Even if our backend were a
network device, we argue that any multi-path caching effects that
would cause inconsistencies in back-to-back actions not seeing the
effect of previous actions would be a bug in that backend, and not the
fault of caching in qemu. As such, it is safe to unconditionally
advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN for any qemu NBD server situation that
supports parallel clients.
Note, however, that we don't want to advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN when we
know that a second client cannot connect (for historical reasons,
qemu-nbd defaults to a single connection while nbd-server-add and QMP
commands default to unlimited connections; but we already have
existing means to let either style of NBD server creation alter those
defaults). This is visible by no longer advertising MULTI_CONN for
'qemu-nbd -r' without -e, as in the iotest nbd-qemu-allocation.
The harder part of this patch is setting up an iotest to demonstrate
behavior of multiple NBD clients to a single server. It might be
possible with parallel qemu-io processes, but I found it easier to do
in python with the help of libnbd, and help from Nir and Vladimir in
writing the test.

The next patch wants to adjust whether the NBD server code advertises
MULTI_CONN based on whether it is known if the server limits to
exactly one client. For a server started by QMP, this information is
obtained through nbd_server_start (which can support more than one
export); but for qemu-nbd (which supports exactly one export), it is
controlled only by the command-line option -e/--shared. Since we
already have a hook function used by qemu-nbd, it's easiest to just
alter its signature to fit our needs.

Hi all! Current logic of relying on search through backing chain is not
safe neither convenient.
Sometimes it leads to necessity of extra bitmap copying. Also, we are
going to add "snapshot-access" driver, to access some snapshot state
through NBD. And this driver is not formally a filter, and of course
it's not a COW format driver. So, searching through backing chain will
not work. Instead of widening the workaround of bitmap searching, let's
extend the interface so that user can select bitmap precisely.
Note, that checking for bitmap active status is not copied to the new
API, I don't see a reason for it, user should understand the risks. And
anyway, bitmap from other node is unrelated to this export being
read-only or read-write.

The TLS usage for NBD was restricted to IP sockets because validating
x509 certificates requires knowledge of the hostname that the client
is connecting to.
TLS does not have to use x509 certificates though, as PSK (pre-shared
keys) provide an alternative credential option. These have no
requirement for a hostname and can thus be trivially used for UNIX
sockets.
Furthermore, with the ability to overide the default hostname for
TLS validation in the previous patch, it is now also valid to want
to use x509 certificates with FD passing and UNIX sockets.

Our default of a backlog of 1 connection is rather puny; it gets in
the way when we are explicitly allowing multiple clients (such as
qemu-nbd -e N [--shared], or nbd-server-start with its default
"max-connections":0 for unlimited), but is even a problem when we
stick to qemu-nbd's default of only 1 active client but use -t
[--persistent] where a second client can start using the server once
the first finishes. While the effects are less noticeable on TCP
sockets (since the client can poll() to learn when the server is ready
again), it is definitely observable on Unix sockets, where on Linux, a
client will fail with EAGAIN and no recourse but to sleep an arbitrary
amount of time before retrying if the server backlog is already full.
Since QMP nbd-server-start is always persistent, it now always
requests a backlog of SOMAXCONN; meanwhile, qemu-nbd will request
SOMAXCONN if persistent, otherwise its backlog should be based on the
expected number of clients.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1925045 for a demonstration of where
our low backlog prevents libnbd from connecting as many parallel
clients as it wants.

Rather than open-coding the translation from the deprecated

better to utilize QAPI_CLONE_MEMBERS. This solves a couple of issues:
first, if we do any more refactoring of the base type (which an

Second, our assignment to arg->name is fishy: the generated QAPI code
for qapi_free_NbdServerAddOptions does not visit arg->name if
arg->has_name is false, but if it DID visit it, we would have

The reference owned by the user/monitor that is created when adding the

Note that exports are present in block_exports even after the user has

are immediately removed on a shutdown request, even if they are still in
the process of shutting down. In order to avoid that the user still

2. When using a BlockBackend name, unplugging the device from the guest
will automatically stop the NBD server, too. This may sometimes be
what you want, but it could also be very surprising. Let's keep
things explicit with block-export-add. If the user wants to stop the

When creating a read-only image, we are still advertising support for
TRIM and WRITE_ZEROES to the client, even though the client should not
be issuing those commands. But seeing this requires looking across
multiple functions:
All callers to nbd_export_new() passed a single flag based solely on
whether the export allows writes. Later, we then pass a constant set
of flags to nbd_negotiate_options() (namely, the set of flags which we
always support, at least for writable images), which is then further
dynamically modified with NBD_FLAG_SEND_DF based on client requests
for structured options. Finally, when processing NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME
or NBD_OPT_EXPORT_GO we bitwise-or the original caller's flag with the
runtime set of flags we've built up over several functions.
Let's refactor things to instead compute a baseline of flags as soon
as possible which gets shared between multiple clients, in
nbd_export_new(), and changing the signature for the callers to pass
in a simpler bool rather than having to figure out flags. We can then
get rid of the 'myflags' parameter to various functions, and instead
refer to client for everything we need (we still have to perform a
bitwise-OR for NBD_FLAG_SEND_DF during NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME and
NBD_OPT_EXPORT_GO, but it's easier to see what is being computed).
This lets us quit advertising senseless flags for read-only images, as
well as making the next patch for exposing FAST_ZERO support easier to

[eblake: improve commit message, update iotest 223]
The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be
advertised when the server promises cache consistency between
simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and
flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another
client). When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd
without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we
probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from
one client are cache-consistent with actions from another. But for
read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as
well advertise multi-conn support. What's more, advertisement of the
bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in
use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the
first client goes away.
This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit. We may want
to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections
for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections

[eblake: tweak blockdev-nbd.c to not request shared when writable,
fix iotest 233]
Reviewed-by: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>
In my "build everything" tree, changing sysemu/sysemu.h triggers a
recompile of some 5400 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).
Almost a third of its inclusions are actually superfluous. Delete
them. Downgrade two more to qapi/qapi-types-run-state.h, and move one
from char/serial.h to char/serial.c.
hw/semihosting/config.c, monitor/monitor.c, qdev-monitor.c, and
stubs/semihost.c define variables declared in sysemu/sysemu.h without
including it. The compiler is cool with that, but include it anyway.
This doesn't reduce actual use much, as it's still included into
widely included headers. The next commit will tackle that.

As with the previous patch to qemu-nbd, the nbd-server-start QMP command
also needs to be able to specify authorization when enabling TLS encryption.
First the client must create a QAuthZ object instance using the
'object-add' command:
{
'execute': 'object-add',
'arguments': {
'qom-type': 'authz-list',
'id': 'authz0',
'parameters': {
'policy': 'deny',
'rules': [
{
'match': '*CN=fred',
'policy': 'allow'
}
]
}
}
}
They can then reference this in the new 'tls-authz' parameter when
executing the 'nbd-server-start' command:
{
'execute': 'nbd-server-start',
'arguments': {
'addr': {
'type': 'inet',
'host': '127.0.0.1',
'port': '9000'
},
'tls-creds': 'tls0',
'tls-authz': 'authz0'
}
}

We only had two callers to nbd_export_new; qemu-nbd.c always
passed a valid offset/length pair (because it already checked
the file length, to ensure that offset was in bounds), while
blockdev-nbd.c always passed 0/-1. Then nbd_export_new reduces
the size to a multiple of BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE (can only happen
when offset is not sector-aligned, since bdrv_getlength()
currently rounds up) (someday, it would be nice to have
byte-accurate lengths - but not today).
However, I'm finding it easier to work with the code if we are
consistent on having both callers pass in a valid length, and
just assert that things are sane in nbd_export_new, meaning
that no negative values were passed, and that offset+size does
not exceed 63 bits (as that really is a fundamental limit to
later operations, whether we use off_t or uint64_t).

We only have one caller that wants to export a bitmap name,
which it does right after creation of the export. But there is
still a brief window of time where an NBD client could see the
export but not the dirty bitmap, which a robust client would
have to interpret as meaning the entire image should be treated
as dirty. Better is to eliminate the window entirely, by
inlining nbd_export_bitmap() into nbd_export_new(), and refusing
to create the bitmap in the first place if the requested bitmap
can't be located.
We also no longer need logic for setting a different bitmap
name compared to the bitmap being exported.

Now that nbd-server-add can do the same functionality (well, other
than making the exported bitmap name different than the underlying
bitamp - but we argued that was not essential, since it is just as
easy to create a new non-persistent bitmap with the desired name),
we no longer need the experimental separate command.

With the experimental x-nbd-server-add-bitmap command, there was
a window of time where an NBD client could see the export but not
the associated dirty bitmap, which can cause a client that planned
on using the dirty bitmap to be forced to treat the entire image
as dirty as a safety fallback. Furthermore, if the QMP client
successfully exports a disk but then fails to add the bitmap, it
has to take on the burden of removing the export. Since we don't
allow changing the exposed dirty bitmap (whether to a different
bitmap, or removing advertisement of the bitmap), it is nicer to
make the bitmap tied to the export at the time the export is
created, with automatic failure to export if the bitmap is not
available.
The experimental command included an optional 'bitmap-export-name'
field for remapping the name exposed over NBD to be different from
the bitmap name stored on disk. However, my libvirt demo code
for implementing differential backups on top of persistent bitmaps
did not need to take advantage of that feature (it is instead
possible to create a new temporary bitmap with the desired name,
use block-dirty-bitmap-merge to merge one or more persistent
bitmaps into the temporary, then associate the temporary with the
NBD export, if control is needed over the exported bitmap name).
Hence, I'm not copying that part of the experiment over to the
stable addition. For more details on the libvirt demo, see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-October/msg01254.html,
https://kvmforum2018.sched.com/event/FzuB/facilitating-incremental-backup-eric-blake-red-hat
This patch focuses on the user interface, and reduces (but does
not completely eliminate) the window where an NBD client can see
the export but not the dirty bitmap, with less work to clean up
after errors. Later patches will add further cleanups now that
this interface is declared stable via a single QMP command,
including removing the race window.
Update test 223 to use the new interface.

The existing NBD code had a weird split where nbd_export_new()
created an export but did not add it to the list of exported
names until a later nbd_export_set_name() came along and grabbed
a second reference on the object; later, the first call to
nbd_export_close() drops the second reference while removing
the export from the list. This is in part because the QAPI
NbdServerRemoveNode enum documents the possibility of adding a
mode where we could do a soft disconnect: preventing new clients,
but waiting for existing clients to gracefully quit, based on
the mode used when calling nbd_export_close().
But in spite of all that, note that we never change the name of
an NBD export while it is exposed, which means it is easier to
just inline the process of setting the name as part of creating
the export.
Inline the contents of nbd_export_set_name() and
nbd_export_set_description() into the two points in an export
lifecycle where they matter, then adjust both callers to pass
the name up front. Note that for creation, all callers pass a
non-NULL name, (passing NULL at creation was for old style
servers, but we removed support for that in commit 7f7dfe2a),
so we can add an assert and do things unconditionally; but for
cleanup, because of the dual nature of nbd_export_close(), we
still have to be careful to avoid use-after-free. Along the
way, add a comment reminding ourselves of the potential of
adding a middle mode disconnect.
