Block jobs don't actually make use of the iostatus for their BDSes, but

The block layer has a couple of cases where it can lose
Force Unit Access semantics when writing a large block of
zeroes, such that the request returns before the zeroes
have been guaranteed to land on underlying media.
SCSI does not support FUA during WRITESAME(10/16); FUA is only
supported if it falls back to WRITE(10/16). But where the
underlying device is new enough to not need a fallback, it
means that any upper layer request with FUA semantics was
silently ignoring BDRV_REQ_FUA.
Conversely, NBD has situations where it can support FUA but not
ZERO_WRITE; when that happens, the generic block layer fallback
to bdrv_driver_pwritev() (or the older bdrv_co_writev() in qemu
2.6) was losing the FUA flag.
The problem of losing flags unrelated to ZERO_WRITE has been
latent in bdrv_co_do_write_zeroes() since commit aa7bfbff, but
back then, it did not matter because there was no FUA flag. It
became observable when commit 93f5e6d8 paved the way for flags
that can impact correctness, when we should have been using
bdrv_co_writev_flags() with modified flags. Compare to commit
9eeb6dd, which got flag manipulation right in
bdrv_co_do_zero_pwritev().
Symptoms: I tested with qemu-io with default writethrough cache
(which is supposed to use FUA semantics on every write), and
targetted an NBD client connected to a server that intentionally
did not advertise NBD_FLAG_SEND_FUA. When doing 'write 0 512',
the NBD client sent two operations (NBD_CMD_WRITE then
NBD_CMD_FLUSH) to get the fallback FUA semantics; but when doing
'write -z 0 512', the NBD client sent only NBD_CMD_WRITE.
The fix is do to a cleanup bdrv_co_flush() at the end of the
operation if any step in the middle relied on a BDS that does
not natively support FUA for that step (note that we don't
need to flush after every operation, if the operation is broken
into chunks based on bounce-buffer sizing). Each BDS gains a
new flag .supported_zero_flags, which parallels the use of
.supported_write_flags but only when accessing a zero write
operation (the flags MUST be different, because of SCSI having
different semantics based on WRITE vs. WRITESAME; and also
because BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP only makes sense on zero writes).
Also fix some documentation to describe -ENOTSUP semantics,
particularly since iscsi depends on those semantics.
Down the road, we may want to add a driver where its
.bdrv_co_pwritev() honors all three of BDRV_REQ_FUA,
BDRV_REQ_ZERO_WRITE, and BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP, and advertise
this via bs->supported_write_flags for blocks opened by that
driver; such a driver should NOT supply .bdrv_co_write_zeroes
nor .supported_zero_flags. But none of the drivers touched
in this patch want to do that (the act of writing zeroes is
different enough from normal writes to deserve a second
callback).

Pre-patch, .supported_write_flags lives at the driver level, which
means we are blindly declaring that all block devices using a
given driver will either equally support FUA, or that we need a
fallback at the block layer. But there are drivers where FUA
support is a per-block decision: the NBD block driver is dependent
on the remote server advertising NBD_FLAG_SEND_FUA (and has
fallback code to duplicate the flush that the block layer would do
if NBD had not set .supported_write_flags); and the iscsi block
driver is dependent on the mode sense bits advertised by the
underlying device (and is currently silently ignoring FUA requests
if the underlying device does not support FUA).
The fix is to make supported flags as a per-BDS option, set during
.bdrv_open(). This patch moves the variable and fixes NBD and iscsi
to set it only conditionally; later patches will then further
simplify the NBD driver to quit duplicating work done at the block
layer, as well as tackle the fact that SCSI does not support FUA
semantics on WRITESAME(10/16) but only on WRITE(10/16).

There is a possibility that qcow2_co_write_zeroes() will be called
with the partial block. This could be synthetically triggered with
qemu-io -c "write -z 32k 4k"
and can happen in the real life in qemu-nbd. The latter happens under
the following conditions:
(1) qemu-nbd is started with --detect-zeroes=on and is connected to the
kernel NBD client
(2) third party program opens kernel NBD device with O_DIRECT
(3) third party program performs write operation with memory buffer
not aligned to the page
In this case qcow2_co_write_zeroes() is unable to perform the operation
and mark entire cluster as zeroed and returns ENOTSUP. Thus the caller
switches to non-optimized version and writes real zeroes to the disk.
The patch creates a shortcut. If the block is read as zeroes, f.e. if
it is unallocated, the request is extended to cover full block.
User-visible situation with this block is not changed. Before the patch
the block is filled in the image with real zeroes. After that patch the
block is marked as zeroed in metadata. Thus any subsequent changes in
backing store chain are not affected.

We had to disable I/O throttling with synchronous requests because we
didn't use to run timers in nested event loops when the code was

even when using the synchronous API.
The removed code is in fact dead code since commit a8823a3b ('block: Use

As mentioned in previous patches, we want to call visit_end_struct()
functions unconditionally, so that visitors can release resources
tied up since the matching visit_start_struct() without also having
to worry about error priority if more than one error occurs.
Even though error_propagate() can be safely used to ignore a second
error during cleanup caused by a first error, it is simpler if the
cleanup cannot set an error. So, split out the error checking
portion (basically, input visitors checking for unvisited keys) into
a new function visit_check_struct(), which can be safely skipped if
any earlier errors are encountered, and leave the cleanup portion
(which never fails, but must be called unconditionally if
visit_start_struct() succeeded) in visit_end_struct().

Commit 5a7e7a0ba moved mirror_exit to a BH handler but didn't add any
protection against new requests that could sneak in just before the
BH is dispatched. For example (assuming a code base at that commit):
main_loop_wait # 1
os_host_main_loop_wait
g_main_context_dispatch
aio_ctx_dispatch
aio_dispatch
...
mirror_run
bdrv_drain
(a) block_job_defer_to_main_loop
qemu_iohandler_poll
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read
...
virtio_submit_multiwrite
(b) blk_aio_multiwrite
main_loop_wait # 2
<snip>
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
(c) mirror_exit
At (a) we know the BDS has no pending request. However, the same
main_loop_wait call is going to dispatch iohandlers (EventNotifier
events), which may lead to a new I/O from guest. So the invariant is
already broken at (c). Data loss.
Commit f3926945c8 made iohandler to use aio API. The order of
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read and block_job_defer_to_main_loop within
a main_loop_wait becomes unpredictable, and even worse, if the host
notifier event arrives at the next main_loop_wait call, the
unpredictable order between mirror_exit and
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read is also a trouble. As shown below, this
commit made the bug easier to trigger:
- Bug case 1:
main_loop_wait # 1
os_host_main_loop_wait
g_main_context_dispatch
aio_ctx_dispatch (qemu_aio_context)
...
mirror_run
bdrv_drain
(a) block_job_defer_to_main_loop
aio_ctx_dispatch (iohandler_ctx)
virtio_queue_host_notifier_read
...
virtio_submit_multiwrite
(b) blk_aio_multiwrite
main_loop_wait # 2
...
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
(c) mirror_exit
- Bug case 2:
main_loop_wait # 1
os_host_main_loop_wait
g_main_context_dispatch
aio_ctx_dispatch (qemu_aio_context)
...
mirror_run
bdrv_drain

virtio_queue_host_notifier_read
...
virtio_submit_multiwrite
(b) blk_aio_multiwrite
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
(c) mirror_exit
In both cases, (b) breaks the invariant wanted by (a) and (c).
Until then, the request loss has been silent. Later, 3f09bfbc7b added
asserts at (c) to check the invariant (in
bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain), and Max reported an assertion failure
first visible there, by doing active committing while the guest is
running bonnie++.
2.5 added bdrv_drained_begin at (a) to protect the dataplane case from
similar problems, but we never realize the main loop bug until now.
As a bandage, this patch disables iohandler's external events
temporarily together with bs->ctx.

mirror_iteration() is supposed to wait if the current chunk is subject
to a still in-flight mirroring operation. However, it mixed checking
this conflict situation with checking the dirty status of a chunk. A
simplification for the latter condition (the first chunk encountered is
always dirty) led to neglecting the former: We just skip the first chunk
and thus never test whether it conflicts with an in-flight operation.
To fix this, pull out the code which waits for in-flight operations on

Upon receiving an I/O error after an fsync, by default gluster will
dump its cache. However, QEMU will retry the fsync, which is especially
useful when encountering errors such as ENOSPC when using the werror=stop

will be lost upon encountering ENOSPC. Using the write-behind-cache
xlator option of 'resync-failed-syncs-after-fsync' should cause gluster
to retain the cached data after a failed fsync, so that ENOSPC and other
transient errors are recoverable.
Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing if the

close the fd and set the BDS driver to NULL upon fsync error.

This patch introduces an explicit acb->bytes in BlkAioEmAIOCB and uses

Using the nested aio_poll() in coroutine is a bad idea. This patch
replaces the aio_poll loop in bdrv_drain with a BH, if called in
coroutine.
For example, the bdrv_drain() in mirror.c can hang when a guest issued
request is pending on it in qemu_co_mutex_lock().
Mirror coroutine in this case has just finished a request, and the block
job is about to complete. It calls bdrv_drain() which waits for the
other coroutine to complete. The other coroutine is a scsi-disk request.
The deadlock happens when the latter is in turn pending on the former to
yield/terminate, in qemu_co_mutex_lock(). The state flow is as below
(assuming a qcow2 image):
mirror coroutine scsi-disk coroutine
-------------------------------------------------------------
do last write
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock()
...
scsi disk read
tracked request begin
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock.enter
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_unlock()
bdrv_drain
while (has tracked request)
aio_poll()
In the scsi-disk coroutine, the qemu_co_mutex_lock() will never return
because the mirror coroutine is blocked in the aio_poll(blocking=true).
With this patch, the added qemu_coroutine_yield() allows the scsi-disk
coroutine to make progress as expected:
mirror coroutine scsi-disk coroutine
-------------------------------------------------------------
do last write
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock()
...
scsi disk read
tracked request begin
qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock.enter

The NBD protocol does not clearly document what will happen
if a client sends NBD_CMD_FLAG_FUA on NBD_CMD_FLUSH.
Historically, both the qemu and upstream NBD servers silently
ignored that flag, but that feels a bit risky. Meanwhile, the
qemu NBD client unconditionally sends the flag (without even
bothering to check whether the caller cares; at least with
NBD_CMD_WRITE the client only sends FUA if requested by a
higher layer).
There is ongoing discussion on the NBD list to fix the
protocol documentation to require that the server MUST ignore
the flag (unless the kernel folks can better explain what FUA
means for a flush), but until those doc improvements land, the
current nbd.git master was recently changed to reject the flag
with EINVAL (see nbd commit ab22e082), which now makes it
impossible for a qemu client to use FLUSH with an upstream NBD
server.
We should not send FUA with flush unless the upstream protocol
documents what it will do, and even then, it should be something
that the caller can opt into, rather than being unconditional.

At the same time, we remove the 'cache.writeback' option parsing on the

This change requires test cases that explicitly enabled the option to

The NBD server already used to send a FUA flag when the writethrough
mode was set. This code was a remnant from the times where protocol
drivers actually had to implement writethrough modes. Since nowadays the
block layer sends flushes in writethrough mode and non-root nodes are
always writeback, this was mostly dead code - only mostly because if NBD
was configured to be used without a format, we sent _both_ FUA and an
explicit flush afterwards, which makes the code not technically dead,
but useless overhead.
This patch changes the code so that the block layer's FUA flag is
recognised and translated into a NBD FUA flag. The additional flush is

Now that WCE is handled on the BlockBackend level, the flag is
meaningless for BDSes. As the schema requires us to fill the field,
we return an enabled write cache for them.
Note that this means that querying the BlockBackend name may return
writethrough as the cache information, whereas querying the node-name of
the root of that same BlockBackend will return writeback.
This may appear odd at first, but it actually makes sense because it
correctly repesents the layer that implements the WCE handling. This
becomes more apparent when you consider nodes that are the root node of
multiple BlockBackends, where each BB can have its own WCE setting.

Whether a write cache is used or not is a decision that concerns the
