docs: fix references to docs/devel/tracing.rst

2021-06-02T04:51:09+00:00

Commit e50caf4a5c ("tracing: convert documentation to rST") converted docs/devel/tracing.txt to docs/devel/tracing.rst. We still have several references to the old file, so let's fix them with the following command: sed -i s/tracing.txt/tracing.rst/ $(git grep -l docs/devel/tracing.txt) Signed-off-by: Stefano Garzarella Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé Message-Id: <20210517151702.109066-2-sgarzare@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth

trace-events: Shorten file names in comments

2019-03-22T16:18:07+00:00

We spell out sub/dir/ in sub/dir/trace-events' comments pointing to source files. That's because when trace-events got split up, the comments were moved verbatim. Delete the sub/dir/ part from these comments. Gets rid of several misspellings.

trace-events: Consistently point to docs/devel/tracing.txt

2019-03-22T16:17:37+00:00

Almost all trace-events point to docs/devel/tracing.txt in a comment right at the beginning. Touch up the ones that don't.

file-posix: Switch to .bdrv_co_ioctl

2018-12-14T10:52:41+00:00

No real reason to keep using the callback based mechanism here when the rest of the file-posix driver is coroutine based. Changing it brings ioctls more in line with how other request types work. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf

scsi, file-posix: add support for persistent reservation management

2017-09-21T23:06:51+00:00

It is a common requirement for virtual machine to send persistent reservations, but this currently requires either running QEMU with CAP_SYS_RAWIO, or using out-of-tree patches that let an unprivileged QEMU bypass Linux's filter on SG_IO commands. As an alternative mechanism, the next patches will introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands without expanding QEMU's attack surface unnecessarily. The helper is invoked through a "pr-manager" QOM object, to which file-posix.c passes SG_IO requests for PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT and PERSISTENT RESERVE IN commands. For example: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-scsi \ -object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock -drive if=none,id=hd,driver=raw,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0 -device scsi-block,drive=hd or: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-scsi \ -object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock -blockdev node-name=hd,driver=raw,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0 -device scsi-block,drive=hd Multiple pr-manager implementations are conceivable and possible, though only one is implemented right now. For example, a pr-manager could: - talk directly to the multipath daemon from a privileged QEMU (i.e. QEMU links to libmpathpersist); this makes reservation work properly with multipath, but still requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO - use the Linux IOC_PR_* ioctls (they require CAP_SYS_ADMIN though) - more interestingly, implement reservations directly in QEMU through file system locks or a shared database (e.g. sqlite) Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini
