[libvirt] [PATCHv2] blockjob: fix block-stream bandwidth race

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Thu Apr 26 19:08:36 UTC 2012


With RHEL 6.2, virDomainBlockPull(dom, dev, bandwidth, 0) has a race
with non-zero bandwidth: there is a window between the block_stream
and block_job_set_speed monitor commands where an unlimited amount
of data was let through, defeating the point of a throttle.

This race was first identified in commit a9d3495e, and libvirt was
able to reduce the size of the window for that race.  In the meantime,
the qemu developers decided to fix things properly; per this message:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-04/msg03793.html
the fix will be in qemu 1.1, and changes block-job-set-speed to use
a different parameter name, as well as adding a new optional parameter
to block-stream, which eliminates the race altogether.

Since our documentation already mentioned that we can refuse a non-zero
bandwidth for some hypervisors, I think the best solution is to do
just that for RHEL 6.2 qemu, so that the race is obvious to the user
(anyone using stock RHEL 6.2 binaries won't have this patch, and anyone
building their own libvirt with this patch for RHEL can also rebuild
qemu to get the modern semantics, so it is no real loss in behavior).

Meanwhile the code must be fixed to honor actual qemu 1.1 naming.
Rename the parameter to 'modern', since the naming difference now
covers more than just 'async' block-job-cancel.  And while at it,
fix an unchecked integer overflow.

* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (enum BLOCK_JOB_CMD): Drop unused value,
rename enum to match conventions.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorBlockJob): Reflect enum rename.
* src/qemu_qemu_monitor_json.h (qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob): Likewise,
and support difference between RHEL 6.2 and qemu 1.1 block pull.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Reject
bandwidth during pull with too-old qemu.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainBlockPull, virDomainBlockRebase):
Document this.
