Commit c7cacb3 accidentally broke legacy key-value parsing through
pseudo-filename parsing of -drive file=rbd://..., for any key that
contains an escaped ':'. Such a key is surprisingly common, thanks
to mon_host specifying a 'host:port' string. The break happens
because passing things from QDict through QemuOpts back to another
QDict requires that we pack our parsed key/value pairs into a string,
and then reparse that string, but the intermediate string that we
created ("key1=value1:key2=value2") lost the \: escaping that was
present in the original, so that we could no longer see which : were
used as separators vs. those used as part of the original input.
Fix it by collecting the key/value pairs through a QList, and
sending that list on a round trip through a JSON QString (as in
'["key1","value1","key2","value2"]') on its way through QemuOpts,
rather than hand-rolling our own string. Since the string is only
handled internally, this was faster than creating a full-blown
struct of '[{"key1":"value1"},{"key2":"value2"}]', and safer at
guaranteeing order compared to '{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}'.
It would be nicer if we didn't have to round-trip through QemuOpts
in the first place, but that's a much bigger task for later.
Reproducer:
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -nographic -qmp stdio \
-drive 'file=rbd:volumes/volume-ea141b5c-cdb3-4765-910d-e7008b209a70'\
':id=compute:key=AQAVkvxXAAAAABAA9ZxWFYdRmV+DSwKr7BKKXg=='\
':auth_supported=cephx\;none:mon_host=192.168.1.2\:6789'\
',format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,'\
'serial=ea141b5c-cdb3-4765-910d-e7008b209a70,cache=writeback'
Even without an RBD setup, this serves a test of whether we get
the incorrect parser error of:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=rbd:...cache=writeback: conf option 6789 has no value
or the correct behavior of hanging while trying to connect to
the requested mon_host of 192.168.1.2:6789.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Linux
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Mac
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/W32
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
