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
