[PATCHv4 11/18] blockjob: support pivot operation on cancel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is the bare minimum to end a copy job (of course, until a
later patch adds the ability to start a copy job, this patch
doesn't do much in isolation; I've just split the patches to
ease the review).

This patch intentionally avoids SELinux, lock manager, and audit
actions, saving that for a later patch that affects the overall
lifecycle of a disk copy.  In particular, I'm still fuzzy on the
exact qemu error semantics, and whether I need to make more of
an effort after a 'drive-reopen' fails.

When a mirror job is started, cancelling the job safely reverts back
to the source disk, regardless of whether the destination is in
phase 1 (streaming, in which case the destination is worthless) or
phase 2 (mirroring, in which case the destination is sync'd up to
the source at the time of the cancel).  Our existing code does just
fine in either phase, other than some bookkeeping cleanup.

Pivoting the job requires the use of the new 'drive-reopen' command.
Here, failure of the command is potentially catastrophic to the
domain, since it rips out the old disk before attempting to open
the new one; if our recovery path of retrying the reopen on the
original source disk also fails, the domain is hosed.  If only qemu
could get 'drive-reopen' inside 'transaction'...

Interesting side note: while snapshot-create --disk-only creates a
copy of the disk at a point in time by moving the domain on to a
new file (the copy is the file now in the just-extended backing
chain), blockjob --abort of a copy job creates a copy of the disk
while keeping the domain on the original file.  There may be
potential improvements to the snapshot code to exploit block copy
over multiple disks all at one point in time.  And, if
'block_job_cancel' were made part of 'transaction', you could
copy multiple disks at the same point in time without pausing
the domain.  This also implies we may want to add a --quiesce
flag to the pivot operation, so that when breaking a mirror, the
side of the mirror that we are abandoning is at least in a stable
state with regards to guest I/O.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobAbort): Accept new flag.
(qemuDomainBlockPivot): New helper function.
(qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Implement it.
