Previously, qemu block driver of sheepdog used hard-coded VDI object size.
This patch enables users to handle "block_size_shift" value for
calculating VDI object size.

When you start qemu, you don't need to specify additional command option.

But when you create the VDI which doesn't have default object size
with qemu-img command, you specify block_size_shift option.

If you want to create a VDI of 8MB(1 << 23) object size,
you need to specify following command option.

  # qemu-img create -o block_size_shift=23 sheepdog:test1 100M

In addition, when you don't specify qemu-img command option,
a default value of sheepdog cluster is used for creating VDI.

  # qemu-img create sheepdog:test2 100M

Seems that we don't keep backward compatibility for new QEMU and old sheep that
doesn't support SD_OP_GET_CLUSTER_DEFAULT.
Then, I'll add the operation that if block_size_shift from
SD_OP_GET_CLUSTER_DEFAULT is zero, block_size_shift is set to 22.
Is it OK?

If sheep doesn't support SD_OP_GET_CLUSTER_DEFAULT, sheep will return
SD_RES_INVALID_PARMS. So to keep backward compatibility, we shouldn't issue
SD_OP_GET_CLUSTER_DEFAULT to sheep daemon.
OK, I think that the way is better.

My point is that, after user upgrading the sheep and still stick with old QEMU,
(I guess many users will), any operations in the past sholudn't fail right after
upgrading.



What will happen if old QEMU with new sheep that support block_size_shift? Most
distributions will ship the old stable qemu that wouldn't be aware of
block_size_shift.
If old QEMU with new sheep is used, VDI is created with cluster default
block_size_shift and accessed as 4MB object_size.
So I think that for backward compatibility, users must do cluster
format command with default block_size_shift 22 equal to
4MB object_size.

how old QEMU know about block_size_shift? For old QEMU, block_size_shift is
encoded as 0 and then send the create request to sheep. Does sheep can handle
block_size_shift = 0? You know, we can't pass any value to old QEMU for
block_size_shift.
Sheep can handle block_size_shift = 0, when users create new VDI.
Old QEMU does do_sd_create() without setting hdr.block_size_shift and
sends a request SD_OP_NEW_VDI.
If block_size_shift is set to zero, new sheep sets cluster default value
in cluster_new_vdi() like copies and copy_policy.

Okay, so new sheep can handle old QEMU request. By the way, how about the
suggestion in my last email? (x + 1) * 4MB stuff...

I think specifying object size in multiple of 4MB is overkill. Because
we can specify both of block_size_shift and a number of objects which
belong to VDI. More precisely,
2 ^ block_size_shift * #objects = VDI size
we can choose the block_size_shift between 20 and 30, and #objects
from 1 < 2 ^ 20.
# #objects is specified via VDI size implicitly

I can't understand this paragraph. If object size is fixed, we can calculate
# of object easily. It has nothing to do with block_size_shift.

I wanted to say that we can choose both of block_size_shift and # of
objects from wide range, so granualarity is flexible and steps between
VDI sizes are reasonably small.


The granualarity of VDI sizes seems to be really fine (even
block_size_shift == 30, step is 1GB). So supporting block size with
multiple of 4MB will not provide practical benefit.

Prabably yes, but finer granularity doesn't cause trouble and gives more
flexibility. We can allow 12MB at user's will, for example. Even it doesn't
provide practical benefits, what benefit block_size_shift will provide over
(x + 1) * 4MB scheme? My point is, give a wider range won't hurt and will
pose less constaint in the future.

The main reason I suggest (x + 1) * 4MB, is that we can easily keep backward
compatibility because x = 0 means 4MB, but with this patch proposal, x = 22
means 4MB.

Utilizing block_size_shift of inode doesn't break
compatibility. Because older versions of sheepdog initialize with
inode->block_size_shift with 22.

Older version? What about the old sheep that doesn't support block_size_shift?
If I remember well, block_size_shift is a new thing introduced by
fd9e4a28fad7c16b2237f4f48c9d264af192e40e, at Dec 12, 2014, very new. This means
all our stable sheep won't have any idea of what block_size_shift is.

Old sheepdog initialize with inode->block_size_shift with 22.
The implementation of Sheepdog 0.9 is following

=======
static struct sd_inode *alloc_inode(const struct vdi_iocb *iocb,
                                    uint32_t new_snapid, uint32_t new_vid,
                                    uint32_t *data_vdi_id,
                                    struct generation_reference *gref)
{
        struct sd_inode *new = xzalloc(sizeof(*new));
        unsigned long block_size = SD_DATA_OBJ_SIZE;

...(snip)
new->block_size_shift = find_next_bit(&block_size, BITS_PER_LONG, 0);
=======

It means that block_size_shift is initialized with 22.


The main trouble is old QEMU, which will always set inode->block_size_shift as 0
and expect the object size is 4MB.

Think about following case:

1 Old qemu and old sheep runs a long time with many vdis that has 4MB object.
2 Users upgrade sheep into new sheep but doesn't upgrade QEMU. This is quit
   normal case because many users use stable QEMU branch.
3 He still use qemu-img to create new vdi and expect the object size is 4MB
   If new sheep doesn't set object size as 4MB, this qemu block driver will
   malfunction.

As I said,

Qe/sd   new    old
new     CDS    Ign
old     CDS    NULL

So, when we use old Qemu with new Sheepdog, we should do cluster format
with default block_size_shift 22.
