2020-07-14iotests: Specify explicit backing format where sensibleEric Blake
There are many existing qcow2 images that specify a backing file but no format. This has been the source of CVEs in the past, but has become more prominent of a problem now that libvirt has switched to -blockdev. With older -drive, at least the probing was always done by qemu (so the only risk of a changed format between successive boots of a guest was if qemu was upgraded and probed differently). But with newer -blockdev, libvirt must specify a format; if libvirt guesses raw where the image was formatted, this results in data corruption visible to the guest; conversely, if libvirt guesses qcow2 where qemu was using raw, this can result in potential security holes, so modern libvirt instead refuses to use images without explicit backing format. The change in libvirt to reject images without explicit backing format has pointed out that a number of tools have been far too reliant on probing in the past. It's time to set a better example in our own iotests of properly setting this parameter. iotest calls to create, rebase, and convert are all impacted to some degree. It's a bit annoying that we are inconsistent on command line - while all of those accept -o backing_file=...,backing_fmt=..., the shortcuts are different: create and rebase have -b and -F, while convert has -B but no -F. (amend has no shortcuts, but the previous patch just deprecated the use of amend to change backing chains).

2020-07-14qcow2: Deprecate use of qemu-img amend to change backing fileEric Blake
The use of 'qemu-img amend' to change qcow2 backing files is not tested very well. In particular, our implementation has a bug where if a new backing file is provided without a format, then the prior format is blindly reused, even if this results in data corruption, but this is not caught by iotests. There are also situations where amending other options needs access to the original backing file (for example, on a downgrade to a v2 image, knowing whether a v3 zero cluster must be allocated or may be left unallocated depends on knowing whether the backing file already reads as zero), but the command line does not have a nice way to tell us both the backing file to use for opening the image as well as the backing file to install after the operation is complete. Even if we do allow changing the backing file, it is redundant with the existing ability to change backing files via 'qemu-img rebase -u'. It is time to deprecate this support (leaving the existing behavior intact, even if it is buggy), and at a point in the future, require the use of only 'qemu-img rebase' for adjusting backing chain relations, saving 'qemu-img amend' for changes unrelated to the backing chain.

2020-07-14file-posix: Mitigate file fragmentation with extent size hintsKevin Wolf
Especially when O_DIRECT is used with image files so that the page cache indirection can't cause a merge of allocating requests, the file will fragment on the file system layer, with a potentially very small fragment size (this depends on the requests the guest sent). On Linux, fragmentation can be reduced by setting an extent size hint when creating the file (at least on XFS, it can't be set any more after the first extent has been allocated), basically giving raw files a "cluster size" for allocation. This adds a create option to set the extent size hint, and changes the default from not setting a hint to setting it to 1 MB. The main reason why qcow2 defaults to smaller cluster sizes is that COW becomes more expensive, which is not an issue with raw files, so we can choose a larger size. The tradeoff here is only potentially wasted disk space. For qcow2 (or other image formats) over file-posix, the advantage should even be greater because they grow sequentially without leaving holes, so there won't be wasted space. Setting even larger extent size hints for such images may make sense. This can be done with the new option, but let's keep the default conservative for now. The effect is very visible with a test that intentionally creates a badly fragmented file with qemu-img bench (the time difference while creating the file is already remarkable) and then looks at the number of extents and the time a simple "qemu-img map" takes. Without an extent size hint: $ ./qemu-img create -f raw -o extent_size_hint=0 ~/tmp/test.raw 10G Formatting '/home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw', fmt=raw size=10737418240 extent_size_hint=0 $ ./qemu-img bench -f raw -t none -n -w ~/tmp/test.raw -c 1000000 -S 8192 -o 0 Sending 1000000 write requests, 4096 bytes each, 64 in parallel (starting at offset 0, step size 8192) Run completed in 25.848 seconds. $ ./qemu-img bench -f raw -t none -n -w ~/tmp/test.raw -c 1000000 -S 8192 -o 4096 Sending 1000000 write requests, 4096 bytes each, 64 in parallel (starting at offset 4096, step size 8192) Run completed in 19.616 seconds. $ filefrag ~/tmp/test.raw /home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw: 2000000 extents found $ time ./qemu-img map ~/tmp/test.raw Offset Length Mapped to File 0 0x1e8480000 0 /home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw real 0m1,279s user 0m0,043s sys 0m1,226s With the new default extent size hint of 1 MB: $ ./qemu-img create -f raw -o extent_size_hint=1M ~/tmp/test.raw 10G Formatting '/home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw', fmt=raw size=10737418240 extent_size_hint=1048576 $ ./qemu-img bench -f raw -t none -n -w ~/tmp/test.raw -c 1000000 -S 8192 -o 0 Sending 1000000 write requests, 4096 bytes each, 64 in parallel (starting at offset 0, step size 8192) Run completed in 11.833 seconds. $ ./qemu-img bench -f raw -t none -n -w ~/tmp/test.raw -c 1000000 -S 8192 -o 4096 Sending 1000000 write requests, 4096 bytes each, 64 in parallel (starting at offset 4096, step size 8192) Run completed in 10.155 seconds. $ filefrag ~/tmp/test.raw /home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw: 178 extents found $ time ./qemu-img map ~/tmp/test.raw Offset Length Mapped to File 0 0x1e8480000 0 /home/kwolf/tmp/test.raw real 0m0,061s user 0m0,040s sys 0m0,014s Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20200707142329.48303-1-kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2020-05-13qcow2: introduce compression type featureDenis Plotnikov
The patch adds some preparation parts for incompatible compression type feature to qcow2 allowing the use different compression methods for image clusters (de)compressing. It is implied that the compression type is set on the image creation and can be changed only later by image conversion, thus compression type defines the only compression algorithm used for the image, and thus, for all image clusters. The goal of the feature is to add support of other compression methods to qcow2. For example, ZSTD which is more effective on compression than ZLIB. The default compression is ZLIB. Images created with ZLIB compression type are backward compatible with older qemu versions. Adding of the compression type breaks a number of tests because now the compression type is reported on image creation and there are some changes in the qcow2 header in size and offsets. The tests are fixed in the following ways: * filter out compression_type for many tests * fix header size, feature table size and backing file offset affected tests: 031, 036, 061, 080 header_size +=8: 1 byte compression type 7 bytes padding feature_table += 48: incompatible feature compression type backing_file_offset += 56 (8 + 48 -> header_change + feature_table_change) * add "compression type" for test output matching when it isn't filtered affected tests: 049, 060, 061, 065, 082, 085, 144, 182, 185, 198, 206, 242, 255, 274, 280 Signed-off-by: Denis Plotnikov <dplotnikov@virtuozzo.com> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> QAPI part: Acked-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20200507082521.29210-2-dplotnikov@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>

With this patch, the output now claims 8EiB instead of -8388607T, which really is the correct rounding of largest file size supported by qemu (we could go 511 bytes larger if we used byte-accurate sizing instead of rounding up to the next sector boundary, but that wouldn't change the human-readable result).

2018-11-05option: Make option help nicer to readMax Reitz
This adds some whitespace into the option help (including indentation) and puts angle brackets around the type names. Furthermore, the list name is no longer printed as part of every line, but only once in advance, and only if the caller did not print a caption already. This patch also restores the description alignment we had before commit 9cbef9d68ee1d8d0, just at 24 instead of 16 characters like we used to. This increase is because now we have the type and two spaces of indentation before the description, and with a usual type name length of three chracters, this sums up to eight additional characters -- which means that we now need 24 characters to get the same amount of padding for most options. Also, 24 is a third of 80, which makes it kind of a round number in terminal terms. Finally, this patch amends the reference output of iotest 082 to match the changes (and thus makes it pass again).

2018-06-11qemu-img: Add print_amend_option_help()Max Reitz
The more generic print_block_option_help() function is not really suitable for qemu-img amend, for a couple of reasons: (1) We do not need to append the protocol-level options, as amendment happens only on one node and does not descend downwards to its children. (2) print_block_option_help() says those options are "supported". For option amendment, we do not really know that. So this new function explicitly says that those options are the creation options, and not all of them may be supported. (3) If the driver does not support option amendment, we should not print anything (except for an error message that amendment is not supported).

2017-07-18qemu-img: Check for backing image if specified during createJohn Snow
Or, rather, force the open of a backing image if one was specified for creation. Using a similar -unsafe option as rebase, allow qemu-img to ignore the backing file validation if possible. It may not always be possible, as in the existing case when a filesize for the new image was not specified. This is accomplished by shifting around the conditionals in bdrv_img_create, such that a backing file is always opened unless we provide BDRV_O_NO_BACKING. qemu-img is adjusted to pass this new flag when -u is provided to create.

2017-07-11qcow2: add support for LUKS encryption formatDaniel P. Berrange
This adds support for using LUKS as an encryption format with the qcow2 file, using the new encrypt.format parameter to request "luks" format. e.g. # qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \ -f qcow2 -o encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \ test.qcow2 10G The legacy "encryption=on" parameter still results in creation of the old qcow2 AES format (and is equivalent to the new 'encryption-format=aes'). e.g. the following are equivalent: # qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \ -f qcow2 -o encryption=on,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \ test.qcow2 10G # qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \ -f qcow2 -o encryption-format=aes,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \ test.qcow2 10G With the LUKS format it is necessary to store the LUKS partition header and key material in the QCow2 file. This data can be many MB in size, so cannot go into the QCow2 header region directly. Thus the spec defines a FDE (Full Disk Encryption) header extension that specifies the offset of a set of clusters to hold the FDE headers, as well as the length of that region. The LUKS header is thus stored in these extra allocated clusters before the main image payload. Aside from all the cryptographic differences implied by use of the LUKS format, there is one further key difference between the use of legacy AES and LUKS encryption in qcow2. For LUKS, the initialiazation vectors are generated using the host physical sector as the input, rather than the guest virtual sector. This guarantees unique initialization vectors for all sectors when qcow2 internal snapshots are used, thus giving stronger protection against watermarking attacks. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

Test 082 was touched only partially. It does test the qemu-img interface; however, its invocations of qemu-img info are not real tests but rather verifications, so if format-specific information is not important for the test, there is no reason not to use _img_info. In contrast to directly invoking qemu-img info, "qcow2" is replaced by "IMGFMT"; but as "qcow2" is only mentioned once in test 082 (in _supported_fmt), I consider this an improvement.

Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance. Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files. This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW per file. For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only. But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.
