Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-4.0 0/7] vhost-user-blk: Add support for backend reconnecting
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 17:59:55 +0800

From: Xie Yongji <address@hidden>

This patchset is aimed at supporting qemu to reconnect
vhost-user-blk backend after vhost-user-blk backend crash or
restart.

The patch 1 adds a "disconnected" option to init the chardev socket
in disconnected state.

The patch 2 introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_SHM_SIZE
and VHOST_USER_SET_SHM_FD to support providing shared
memory to backend.

The patch 3,4 are the corresponding libvhost-user patches of
patch 2. Make libvhost-user support VHOST_USER_GET_SHM_SIZE
and VHOST_USER_SET_SHM_FD.

The patch 5 allows vhost-user-blk to use the two new messages
to provide shared memory to backend.

The patch 6 supports vhost-user-blk to reconnect backend when
connection closed.

The patch 7 introduces VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SLAVE_SHMFD
to vhost-user-blk backend which is used to tell qemu that
we support reconnecting now.

To use it, we could start qemu with:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
        -chardev 
socket,id=char0,path=/path/vhost.socket,disconnected,reconnect=1, \
        -device vhost-user-blk-pci,chardev=char0 \

and start vhost-user-blk backend with:

vhost-user-blk -b /path/file -s /path/vhost.socket

Then we can restart vhost-user-blk at any time during VM running.

V1 to V2:
- Introduce "disconnected" option for chardev instead of reuse "wait"
  option
- Support the case that QEMU starts before vhost-user backend
- Drop message VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_INFLIGHT
- Introduce two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_SHM_SIZE
  and VHOST_USER_SET_SHM_FD

  chardev: Add disconnected option for chardev socket
  vhost-user: Support providing shared memory to backend
  libvhost-user: Introduce vu_queue_map_desc()
  libvhost-user: Support recording inflight I/O in shared memory
  vhost-user-blk: Add support to provide shared memory to backend
  vhost-user-blk: Add support to reconnect backend
  contrib/vhost-user-blk: enable inflight I/O recording
