f1eed34ac7 update submodule and patches to QEMU 8.2.2
This version includes both the AioContext lock and the block graph
lock, so there might be some deadlocks lurking. It's not possible to
disable the block graph lock like was done in QEMU 8.1, because there
are no changes like the function bdrv_schedule_unref() that require
it. QEMU 9.0 will finally get rid of the AioContext locking.

During live-restore with a VirtIO SCSI drive with iothread there is a
known racy deadlock related to the AioContext lock. Not new [1], but
not sure if more likely now. Should be fixed in QEMU 9.0.

The block graph lock comes with annotations that can be checked by
clang's TSA. This required changes to the block drivers, i.e.
alloc-track, pbs, zeroinit as well as taking the appropriate locks
in pve-backup, savevm-async, vma-reader.

Local variable shadowing is prohibited via a compiler flag now,
required slight adaptation in vma.c.

Major changes only affect alloc-track:

* It is not possible to call a generated co-wrapper like
  bdrv_get_info() while holding the block graph lock exclusively [0],
  which does happen during initialization of alloc-track when the
  backing hd is set and the refresh_limits driver callback is invoked.

  The bdrv_get_info() call to get the cluster size is moved to
  directly after opening the file child in track_open().

  The important thing is that at least the request alignment for the
  write target is used, because then the RMW cycle in bdrv_pwritev
  will gather enough data from the backing file. Partial cluster
  allocations in the target are not a fundamental issue, because the
  driver returns its allocation status based on the bitmap, so any
  other data that maps to the same cluster will still be copied later
  by a stream job (or during writes to that cluster).

* Replacing the node cannot be done in the
  track_co_change_backing_file() callback, because it is a coroutine
  and cannot hold the block graph lock exclusively. So it is moved to
  the stream job itself with the auto-remove option not having an
  effect anymore (qemu-server would always set it anyways).

  In the future, there could either be a special option for the stream
  job, or maybe the upcoming blockdev-replace QMP command can be used.

  Replacing the backing child is actually already done in the stream
  job, so no need to do it in the track_co_change_backing_file()
  callback. It also cannot be called from a coroutine. Looking at the
  implementation in the qcow2 driver, it doesn't seem to be intended
  to change the backing child itself, just update driver-internal
  state.

Other changes:

* alloc-track: Error out early when used without auto-remove. Since
  replacing the node now happens in the stream job, where the option
  cannot be read from (it's internal to the driver), it will always be
  treated as 'on'. Makes sure to have users beside qemu-server notice
  the change (should they even exist). The option can be fully dropped
  in the future while adding a version guard in qemu-server.

* alloc-track: Avoid seemingly superfluous child permission update.
  Doesn't seem necessary nowadays (maybe after commit "alloc-track:
  fix deadlock during drop" where the dropping is not rescheduled and
  delayed anymore or some upstream change). Replacing the block node
  will already update the permissions of the new node (which was the
  file child before). Should there really be some issue, instead of
  having a drop state, this could also be just based off the fact
  whether there is still a backing child.

  Dumping the cumulative (shared) permissions for the BDS with a debug
  print yields the same values after this patch and with QEMU 8.1,
  namely 3 and 5.

* PBS block driver: compile unconditionally. Proxmox VE always needs
  it and something in the build process changed to make it not enabled
  by default. Probably would need to move the build option to meson
  otherwise.

* backup: job unreferencing during cleanup needs to happen outside of
  coroutine, so it was moved to before invoking the clean

* mirror: Cherry-pick stable fix to avoid potential deadlock.

* savevm-async: migrate_init now can fail, so propagate potential
  error.

* savevm-async: compression counters are not accessible outside
  migration/ram-compress now, so drop code that prophylactically set
  it to zero.

20209d8d73 implement support for backup fleecing
Excerpt from Fiona's v3 cover-letter [0]:

When a backup for a VM is started, QEMU will install a
"copy-before-write" filter in its block layer. This filter ensures
that upon new guest writes, old data still needed for the backup is
sent to the backup target first. The guest write blocks until this
operation is finished so guest IO to not-yet-backed-up sectors will be
limited by the speed of the backup target.

With backup fleecing, such old data is cached in a fleecing image
rather than sent directly to the backup target. This can help guest IO
performance and even prevent hangs in certain scenarios, at the cost
of requiring more storage space.

With this series it will be possible to enable backup-fleecing via
e.g. `vzdump 123 --fleecing enabled=1,storage=local-lvm` with fleecing
images created on the storage `local-lvm`. The fleecing storage should
be a fast local storage which supports thin-provisioning and discard.
If the storage supports qcow2, that is used as the fleecing image
format. If the underlying file system does not support discard, with
qcow2 and preallocation=off, at least already allocated parts of the
image can be re-used later.

Fleecing images are created by qemu-server via pve-storage and
attached to QEMU before the backup starts, and cleaned up after the
backup finished or failed. The naming schema for fleecing images is
'vm-ID-fleece-N(.FORMAT)'. The allocated images are recorded in the
guest configuration, so that even after a hard failure, clean-up can
be re-attempted. While not too bad, it's a non-trivial amount of code
and I'm not 100% sure about the cost-benefit, so sending those as RFC.

The fleecing image needs to be the exact same size as the source, but
luckily, an explicit size can be specified when attaching a raw image
to QEMU so there are no size issues when using storages that have
coarser allocation/round up. For qcow2, it seems that virtual size can
be nearly arbitrary (i.e. modulo 512 byte granularity) during
allocation.

With pvebackup_propagate_error(), the first error wins. When one job
in the transaction fails, it is expected that later jobs get the
ECANCELED error. Those are not interesting and by skipping them a more

061e9ceb36 fix patch for accepting NULL qiov when padding
All callers of the function pass an address, so dereferencing once
before checking for NULL is required. It's also necessary to update
bytes and offset nevertheless, so the request will actually be aligned
later and not trigger an assertion failure.

Seems like this was accidentally broken in 8dca018 ("udpate and rebase
to QEMU v6.0.0") and this is effectively a revert to the original
version of the patch. The qiov functions changed back then, which
might've been the reason Stefan tried to simplify the patch.

Should fix live-import for certain kinds of VMDK images.

Most notable fixes from a Proxmox VE perspective are:

* "virtio-net: correctly copy vnet header when flushing TX"
  To prevent a stack overflow that could lead to leaking parts of the

* "hw/pflash: implement update buffer for block writes"
  To prevent an edge case for half-completed writes. This potentially
  affected EFI disks.
* Fixes to i386 emulation and ARM emulation.

The attempted fix has been reported to cause high CPU usage after

6b7c1815e1 add patch to work around stuck guest IO with iothread and VirtIO block/SCSI
When using iothread, after commits
1665d9326f ("virtio-blk: implement BlockDevOps->drained_begin()")
766aa2de0f ("virtio-scsi: implement BlockDevOps->drained_begin()")
it can happen that polling gets stuck when draining. This would cause
IO in the guest to get completely stuck.

A workaround for users is stopping and resuming the vCPUs because that
would also stop and resume the dataplanes which would kick the host
notifiers.

This can happen with block jobs like backup and drive mirror as well
as with hotplug [2].

Reports in the community forum that might be about this issue[0][1]
and there is also one in the enterprise support channel.

As a workaround in the code, just re-enable notifications and kick the
virt queue after draining. Draining is already costly and rare, so no
need to worry about a performance penalty here. This was taken from
the following comment of a QEMU developer [3] (in my debugging,
I had already found re-enabling notification to work around the issue,
but also kicking the queue is more complete).

10e1093325 update submodule and patches to QEMU 8.1.2
Bigger notable changes:

* Commit 1a30b0f5d7 ("block: .bdrv_open is non-coroutine and
  unlocked") broke the PVE backup patches, in particular setting up
  the backup dump block driver, because bdrv_new_open_driver() cannot
  be called from a coroutine. To fix it, bdrv_co_open() is used
  instead, and while it's a much more involved function, the result
  should be essentially the same. The only difference I noticed is
  that the BDRV_O_ALLOW_RDWR flag is also set in the resulting bds
  (block driver state), but that shouldn't hurt.

Smaller notable changes:

* aio_set_fd_handler() dropped its 'is_external' parameter stating
  that all callers now pass false in 60f782b6b7 ("aio: remove
  aio_disable_external() API"). The calls in the PVE patches also
  passed false, so just drop the parameter too.

* global_state_store() does not have a return value anymore, so the
  user in the PVE savevm-async patch was adapted. For context, see
  c33f1829f8 ("migration: never fail in global_state_store()").

* Renames affecting the PVE savevm-async patch:
  migrate_use_block() -> migrate_block() and ram_counters -> mig_stats
  9d4b1e5f22 ("migration: Move migrate_use_block() to options.c")
  aff3f6606d ("migration: Rename ram_counters to mig_stats")

9e0186f289 backup: drop broken BACKUP_FORMAT_DIR
Since upstream QEMU 8.0, it's no longer possible to call
bdrv_img_create() from a coroutine anymore, meaning a backup with the
directory format would crash the QEMU instance.

The feature is only exposed via the monitor and was intended to be
experimental. There were no user reports about the breakage and it
only was noticed during the rebase for QEMU 8.1, because other parts
of the backup code needed adaptation and I decided to check the
BACKUP_FORMAT_DIR case too.

It should not stay in a broken state of course, but avoid the
maintenance cost and just make it a removed feature for Proxmox VE 8
retroactively.

0cffb504e7 backup: create jobs in a drained section
With the drive-backup QMP command, upstream QEMU uses a drained
section for the source drive when creating the backup job. Do the same
here to avoid subtle bugs.

There, the drained section extends until after the job is started, but
this cannot be done here for multi-disk backups (could at most start
the first job). The important thing is that the cbw
(copy-before-write) node is in place and the bcs (block-copy-state)
bitmap is initialized, which both happen during job creation (ensured
by the "block/backup: move bcs bitmap initialization to job creation"
PVE patch).

One such bug is one reported in the community forum [0], where using a
drive with iothread can lead to an overlapping block-copy request and
consequently an assertion failure. The block-copy code relies on the
bcs bitmap to determine if a request for a certain range can be
created. Each time a request is created, it resets the bcs bitmap at
that range to indicate that it's being handled.

The duplicate request can happen as follows:
Thread A attaches the cbw node
Thread B creates a request and resets the bitmap at that range
Thread A clears the bitmap and merges it with the PBS bitmap
The merging can lead to the bitmap being set again at the range of
the previous request, so the block-copy code thinks it's fine to
create a request there.
Thread B creates another requests at an overlapping range before the
other request is finished.

The drained section ensures that nothing else can interfere with the
bcs bitmap between attaching the copy-before-write block node and
initialization of the bitmap.

5f9cb29c3a backup: trim heap after finishing
Reported in the community forum [0]. By default, there can be large
amounts of memory left assigned to the QEMU process after backup.
Likely because of fragmentation, it's necessary to explicitly call
malloc_trim() to tell glibc that it shouldn't keep all that memory
resident for the process.

QEMU itself already does a malloc_trim() in the RCU thread, but that
code path might not be reached (or not for a long time) under usual
operation. The value of 4 MiB for the argument was also copied from
there.

db5d2a4b77 squash related patches
where there is no good reason to keep them separate. It's a pain
during rebase if there are multiple patches changing the same code
over and over again. This was especially bad for the backup-related
patches. If the history of patches really is needed, it can be
extracted via git. Additionally, compilation with partial application
of patches was broken since a long time, because one of the master key
changes became part of an earlier patch during a past rebase.

If only the same files were changed by a subsequent patch and the
changes felt to belong together (obvious for later bug fixes, but also
done for features e.g. adding master key support for PBS), the patches
were squashed together.

The PBS namespace support patch was split into the individual parts
it changes, i.e. PBS block driver, pbs-restore binary and QMP backup
infrastructure, and squashed into the respective patches.

No code change is intended, git diff in the submodule should not show
any difference between applying all patches before this commit and
applying all patches after this commit.

The query-proxmox-support QMP function has been left as part of the
"PVE-Backup: Proxmox backup patches for QEMU" patch, because it's
currently only used there. If it ever is used elsewhere too, it can
be split out from there.

The recent alloc-track and BQL-related savevm-async changes have been
left separate for now, because it's not 100% clear they are the best
approach yet. This depends on what upstream decides about the BQL
stuff and whether and what kind of issues with the changes pop up.

The qemu-img dd snapshot patch has been re-ordered to after the other

53b56ca781 add stable patches for 8.0.0
Changes to other patches are all just metadata/context changes except
for pvebackup_co_prepare() needing to call bdrv_co_unref() rather than
bdrv_unref(), because it is a coroutine itself. This is documented in
d6ee2e324e ("block-coroutine-wrapper: Introduce no_co_wrapper"). The
change is necessary, because one of the stable fixes converts
bdrv_unref and blk_unref into no_co_wrappers (in preparation for a
second patch to fix a hang with the block resize QMP command).

bf251437e9 update submodule and patches to QEMU 8.0.0
Many changes were necessary this time around:

* QAPI was changed to avoid redundant has_* variables, see commit
44ea9d9be3 ("qapi: Start to elide redundant has_FOO in generated C")
for details. This affected many QMP commands added by Proxmox too.

* Pending querying for migration got split into two functions, one to
estimate, one for exact value, see commit c8df4a7aef ("migration:
Split save_live_pending() into state_pending_*") for details. Relevant
for savevm-async and PBS dirty bitmap.

* Some block (driver) functions got converted to coroutines, so the
Proxmox block drivers needed to be adapted.

* Alloc track auto-detaching during PBS live restore got broken by
AioContext-related changes resulting in a deadlock. The current, hacky
method was replaced by a simpler one. Stefan apparently ran into a
problem with that when he wrote the driver, but there were
improvements in the stream job code since then and I didn't manage to
reproduce the issue. It's a separate patch "alloc-track: fix deadlock
during drop" for now, you can find the details there.

* Async snapshot-related changes:
  - The pending querying got adapted to the above-mentioned split and
  a patch is added to optimize it/make it more similar to what
  upstream code does.
  - Added initialization of the compression counters (for
    future-proofing).
  - It's necessary the hold the BQL (big QEMU lock = iothread mutex)
  during the setup phase, because block layer functions are used there
  and not doing so leads to racy, hard-to-debug crashes or hangs. It's
  necessary to change some upstream code too for this, a version of
  the patch "migration: for snapshots, hold the BQL during setup
  callbacks" is intended to be upstreamed.
  - Need to take the bdrv graph read lock before flushing.

* hmp_info_balloon was moved to a different file.

* Needed to include a new headers from time to time to still get the
correct functions.

eee064d954 savevm-async: keep more free space when entering final stage
In qemu-server, we already allocate 2 * $mem_size + 500 MiB for driver
state (which was 32 MiB long ago according to git history). It seems
likely that the 30 MiB cutoff in the savevm-async implementation was
chosen based on that.

In bug #4476 [0], another issue caused the iteration to not make any
progress and the state file filled up all the way to the 30 MiB +
pending_size cutoff. Since the guest is not stopped immediately after
the check, it can still dirty some RAM and the current cutoff is not
enough for a reproducer VM (was done while bug #4476 still was not
fixed), dirtying memory with
> stress-ng -B 2 --bigheap-growth 64.0M'
After entering the final stage, savevm actually filled up the state
file completely, leading to an I/O error. It's probably the same
scenario as reported in the bug report, the error message was fixed in
commit a020815 ("savevm-async: fix function name in error message")
after the bug report.

If not for the bug, the cutoff will only be reached by a VM that's
dirtying RAM faster than can be written to the storage, so increase
the cutoff to 100 MiB to have a bigger chance to finish successfully,
while still trying to not increase downtime too much for
non-hibernation snapshots.

8051a24b5f fix #4476: savevm-async: avoid looping without progress
when pend_postcopy is large. By definition, pend_postcopy won't
decrease when iterating, so a value larger than the cutoff of 400000
would lead to essentially empty iterations, filling up the state file
until only 30 MiB + pending_size remain and the second half of the
check would trigger.

Avoid this, by not considering pend_postcopy for the cutoff to enter
the final phase.

d03e1b3ce3 update submodule and patches to 7.2.0
User-facing breaking change:

The slirp submodule for user networking got removed. It would be
necessary to add the --enable-slirp option to the build and/or install
the appropriate library to continue building it. Since PVE is not
explicitly supporting it, it would require additionally installing the
libslirp0 package on all installations and there is *very* little
mention on the community forum when searching for "slirp" or
"netdev user", the plan is to only enable it again if there is some
real demand for it.

Notable changes:

* The big change for this release is the rework of job locking, using
  a job mutex and introducing _locked() variants of job API functions
  moving away from call-side AioContext locking. See (in the qemu
  submodule) commit 6f592e5aca ("job.c: enable job lock/unlock and
  remove Aiocontext locks") and previous commits for context.

  Changes required for the backup patches:
  * Use WITH_JOB_LOCK_GUARD() and call the _locked() variant of job
    API functions where appropriate (many are only availalbe as
    a _locked() variant).
  * Remove acquiring/releasing AioContext around functions taking the
    job mutex lock internally.

  The patch introducing sequential transaction support for jobs needs
  to temporarily unlock the job mutex to call job_start() when
  starting the next job in the transaction.

* The zeroinit block driver now marks its child as primary.

  The documentation in include/block/block-common.h states:
  > Filter node has exactly one FILTERED|PRIMARY child, and may have
  > other children which must not have these bits

  Without this, an assert will trigger when copying to a zeroinit target
  with qemu-img convert, because bdrv_child_cb_attach() expects any
  non-PRIMARY child to be not FILTERED:
  > qemu-img convert -n -p -f raw -O raw input.raw zeroinit:output.raw
  > qemu-img: ../block.c:1476: bdrv_child_cb_attach: Assertion
  > `!(child->role & BDRV_CHILD_FILTERED)' failed.

0af826b448 savevm async IO channel: channel writev: fix return value in error case
The documentation in include/io/channel.h states that -1 or
QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BLOCK should be returned upon error. Simply passing
along the return value from the blk-functions has the potential to
confuse the call sides. Non-blocking mode is not implemented
currently, so -1 it is.

The "return ret" was mistakenly left over from the previous
QEMUFileOps based implementation. Also, use error_setg_errno(), since
the blk(_co)_p{readv,writev} functions return errno codes.

5b15e2ecaf update submodule and patches to 7.1.0
Notable changes:
* The only big change is the switch to using a custom QIOChannel for
  savevm-async, because the previously used QEMUFileOps was dropped.

  Changes to the current implementation:

  * Switch to vector based methods as required for an IO channel. For
    short reads the passed-in IO vector is stuffed with zeroes at the
    end, just to be sure.

  * For reading: The documentation in include/io/channel.h states that
    at least one byte should be read, so also error out when whe are
    at the very end instead of returning 0.

  * For reading: Fix off-by-one error when request goes beyond end.

    The wrong code piece was:
    if ((pos + size) > maxlen) {
        size = maxlen - pos - 1;
    }

    Previously, the last byte would not be read. It's actually
    possible to get a snapshot .raw file that has content all the way
    up the final 512 byte (= BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE) boundary without any
    trailing zero bytes (I wrote a script to do it).

    Luckily, it didn't cause a real issue, because qemu_loadvm_state()
    is not interested in the final (i.e. QEMU_VM_VMDESCRIPTION)
    section. The buffer for reading it is simply freed up afterwards
    and the function will assume that it read the whole section, even
    if that's not the case.

  * For writing: Make use of the generated blk_pwritev() wrapper
    instead of manually wrapping the coroutine to simplify and save a
    few lines.

* Adapt to changed interfaces for blk_{pread,pwrite}:
  * a9262f551e ("block: Change blk_{pread,pwrite}() param order")
  * 3b35d4542c ("block: Add a 'flags' param to blk_pread()")
  * bf5b16fa40 ("block: Make blk_{pread,pwrite}() return 0 on success")
  Those changes especially affected the qemu-img dd patches, because
  the context also changed, but also some of our block drivers used
  the functions.

* Drop qemu-common.h include: it got renamed after essentially
  everything was moved to other headers. The only remaining user I
  could find for things dropped from the header between 7.0 and 7.1
  was qemu_get_vm_name() in the iscsi-initiatorname patch, but it
  already includes the header to which the function was moved.

1976ca4607 savevm-async: set SAVE_STATE_DONE when closing state file was successful
Without this change, it's necessary to send a second savevm-end QMP
command after aborting a snaphsot, before a new savevm-start QMP
command can succeed.

In process_savevm_finalize(), no longer set an error in the abort
scenario. If there already is another error, there's no need to
override it. If canceling was done intentionally, qmp_savevm_end()
is responsible for setting the state now.

563c592898 savevm-async: avoid segfault when aborting snapshot
Reported in the community forum[0].

For 6.1.0, there were a few changes to the coroutine-sleep API, but
the adaptations in f376b2b ("update and rebase to QEMU v6.1.0") made
a mistake.

Currently, target_close_wait is NULL when passed to
qemu_co_sleep_ns_wakeable(), which further passes it to
qemu_co_sleep(), but there, it is dereferenced when trying to access
the 'to_wake' member:

> Thread 1 "kvm" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
> qemu_co_sleep (w=0x0) at ../util/qemu-coroutine-sleep.c:57

To fix it, create a proper struct and pass its address instead. Also
call qemu_co_sleep_wake unconditionally, because the NULL check (for
the 'to_wake' member) is done inside the function itself.

This patch is based on what the QEMU commits introducing the changes
to the coroutine-sleep API did to the callers in QEMU:
eaee072085 ("coroutine-sleep: allow qemu_co_sleep_wake that wakes nothing")
29a6ea24eb ("coroutine-sleep: replace QemuCoSleepState pointer with struct in the API")

dc9827a6a4 update submodule and patches to 7.0.0
Only very minor changes needed:
* Most patches in extra (or some version of them) are part of 7.0.0.
* aio_set_fd_handler got an extra parameter, but can just pass NULL
  like we did for the related 'poll' parameter. See QEMU commit
  826cc32423db2a99d184dbf4f507c737d7e7a4ae for more.
* Add include for qemu/memalign.h in vma.c and vma-writer.c.
* Add reverts for fixups of already reverted 0347a8fd4c ("block/rbd:
  implement bdrv_co_block_status") that came in with 7.0.0. Those
  fixups are not enough, see Proxmox bugzilla #4047.
* Two trivial context changes for bitmap-mirror patches.
* block_int.h got split up into multiple headers.
* Some context changes in configure and meson.build.
* Used the oppurtunity to squash fixup of bdrv_backuo_dump_create typo
  in a later patch into the patch introducing the function (had to
  move code to new header during rebase).
