      qapi-dealloc: Reduce use outside of generated code · 96a1616c
      Eric Blake authored 
      
No need to roll our own use of the dealloc visitors when we can
just directly use the qapi_free_FOO() functions that do what we
want in one line.

In net.c, inline net_visit() into its remaining lone caller.

After this patch, test-visitor-serialization.c is the only
non-generated file that needs to use a dealloc visitor, because
it is testing low level aspects of the visitor interface.

      qapi: Don't box branches of flat unions · 544a3731
      Eric Blake authored 
      
There's no reason to do two malloc's for a flat union; let's just
inline the branch struct directly into the C union branch of the
flat union.

Surprisingly, fewer clients were actually using explicit references
to the branch types in comparison to the number of flat unions
thus modified.

This lets us reduce the hack in qapi-types:gen_variants() added in
the previous patch; we no longer need to distinguish between
alternates and flat unions.

The change to unboxed structs means that u.data (added in commit
cee2dedb) is now coincident with random fields of each branch of
the flat union, whereas beforehand it was only coincident with
pointers (since all branches of a flat union have to be objects).
Note that this was already the case for simple unions - but there
we got lucky.  Remember, visit_start_union() blindly returns true
for all visitors except for the dealloc visitor, where it returns
the value !!obj->u.data, and that this result then controls
whether to proceed with the visit to the variant.  Pre-patch,
this meant that flat unions were testing whether the boxed pointer
was still NULL, and thereby skipping visit_end_implicit_struct()
and avoiding a NULL dereference if the pointer had not been
allocated.  The same was true for simple unions where the current
branch had pointer type, except there we bypassed visit_type_FOO().
But for simple unions where the current branch had scalar type, the
contents of that scalar meant that the decision to call
visit_type_FOO() was data-dependent - the reason we got lucky there
is that visit_type_FOO() for all scalar types in the dealloc visitor
is a no-op (only the pointer variants had anything to free), so it
did not matter whether the dealloc visit was skipped.  But with this
patch, we would risk leaking memory if we could skip a call to
visit_type_FOO_fields() based solely on a data-dependent decision.

But notice: in the dealloc visitor, visit_type_FOO() already handles
a NULL obj - it was only the visit_type_implicit_FOO() that was
failing to check for NULL. And now that we have refactored things to
have the branch be part of the parent struct, we no longer have a
separate pointer that can be NULL in the first place.  So we can just
delete the call to visit_start_union() altogether, and blindly visit
the branch type; there is no change in behavior except to the dealloc
visitor, where we now unconditionally visit the branch, but where that
visit is now always safe (for a flat union, we can no longer
dereference NULL, and for a simple union, visit_type_FOO() was already
safely handling NULL on pointer types).

Unfortunately, simple unions are not as easy to switch to unboxed
layout; because we are special-casing the hidden implicit type with
a single 'data' member, we really DO need to keep calling another
layer of visit_start_struct(), with a second malloc; although there
are some cleanups planned for simple unions in later patches.

visit_start_union() and gen_visit_implicit_struct() are now unused.
Drop them.

Note that after this patch, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for alternate types; the next patch
will do further cleanup based on that fact.

      qapi: Don't box struct branch of alternate · becceedc
      Eric Blake authored 
      
There's no reason to do two malloc's for an alternate type visiting
a QAPI struct; let's just inline the struct directly as the C union
branch of the struct.

Surprisingly, no clients were actually using the struct member prior
to this patch outside of the testsuite; an earlier patch in the series
added some testsuite coverage to make the effect of this patch more
obvious.

In qapi.py, c_type() gains a new is_unboxed flag to control when we
are emitting a C struct unboxed within the context of an outer
struct (different from our other two modes of usage with no flags
for normal local variable declarations, and with is_param for adding
'const' in a parameter list).  I don't know if there is any more
pythonic way of collapsing the two flags into a single parameter,
as we never have a caller setting both flags at once.

Ultimately, we want to also unbox branches for QAPI unions, but as
that touches a lot more client code, it is better as separate
patches.  But since unions and alternates share gen_variants(), I
had to hack in a way to test if we are visiting an alternate type
for setting the is_unboxed flag: look for a non-object branch.
This works because alternates have at least two branches, with at
most one object branch, while unions have only object branches.
The hack will go away in a later patch.

The generated code difference to qapi-types.h is relatively small:

| struct BlockdevRef {
|     QType type;
|     union { /* union tag is @type */
|         void *data;
|-        BlockdevOptions *definition;
|+        BlockdevOptions definition;
|         char *reference;
|     } u;
| };

The corresponding spot in qapi-visit.c calls visit_type_FOO(), which
first calls visit_start_struct() to allocate or deallocate the member
and handle a layer of {} from the JSON stream, then visits the
members.  To peel off the indirection and the memory management that
comes with it, we inline this call, then suppress allocation /
deallocation by passing NULL to visit_start_struct(), and adjust the
member visit:

|     switch ((*obj)->type) {
|     case QTYPE_QDICT:
|-        visit_type_BlockdevOptions(v, name, &(*obj)->u.definition, &err);
|+        visit_start_struct(v, name, NULL, 0, &err);
|+        if (err) {
|+            break;
|+        }
|+        visit_type_BlockdevOptions_fields(v, &(*obj)->u.definition, &err);
|+        error_propagate(errp, err);
|+        err = NULL;
|+        visit_end_struct(v, &err);
|         break;
|     case QTYPE_QSTRING:
|         visit_type_str(v, name, &(*obj)->u.reference, &err);

The visit of non-object fields is unchanged.

      qapi: Add tests of complex objects within alternate · 68d07839
      Eric Blake authored 
      
Upcoming patches will adjust how we visit an object branch of an
alternate; but we were completely lacking testsuite coverage.
Rectify this, so that the future patches will be able to highlight
the changes and still prove that we avoided regressions.

In particular, the use of a flat union UserDefFlatUnion rather
than a simple struct UserDefA as the branch will give us coverage
of an object with variants.  And visiting an alternate as both
the top level and as a nested member gives confidence in correct
memory allocation handling, especially if the test is run under
valgrind.

      qapi: Forbid 'any' inside an alternate · 46534309
      Eric Blake authored 
      
The whole point of an alternate is to allow some type-safety while
still accepting more than one JSON type.  Meanwhile, the 'any'
type exists to bypass type-safety altogether.  The two are
incompatible: you can't accept every type, and still tell which
branch of the alternate to use for the parse; fix this to give a
sane error instead of a Python stack trace.

Note that other types that can't be alternate members are caught
earlier, by check_type().

      qapi: Forbid empty unions and useless alternates · 02a57ae3
      Eric Blake authored 
      
Empty unions serve no purpose, and while we compile with gcc
which permits them, strict C99 forbids them.  We happen to inject
a dummy 'void *data' member into the C unions that represent QAPI
unions and alternates, but we want to get rid of that member (it
pollutes the namespace for no good reason), which would leave us
with an empty union if the user didn't provide any branches.  While
empty structs make sense in QAPI, empty unions don't add any
expressiveness to the QMP language.  So prohibit them at parse
time.  Update the documentation and testsuite to match.

Note that the documentation already mentioned that alternates
should have "two or more JSON data types"; so this also fixes
the code to enforce that.  However, we have existing uses of a
union type with only one branch, so the 2-or-more strictness
is intentionally limited to alternates.

      qapi-visit: Honor prefix of discriminator enum · 9d3524b3
      Eric Blake authored 
      
When we added support for a user-specified prefix for an enum
type (commit 351d36e4), we forgot to teach the qapi-visit code
to honor that prefix in the case of using a prefixed enum as
the discriminator for a flat union.  While there is still some
on-list debate on whether we want to keep prefixes, we should
at least make it work as long as it is still part of the code
base.

      nbd: always query export list in fixed new style protocol · 9344e5f5
      Daniel P. Berrangé authored 
      
With the new style protocol, the NBD client will currenetly
send NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME as the first (and indeed only)
option it wants. The problem is that the NBD protocol spec
does not allow for returning an error message with the
NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME option. So if the server mandates use
of TLS, the client will simply see an immediate connection
close after issuing NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME which is not user
friendly.

To improve this situation, if we have the fixed new style
protocol, we can sent NBD_OPT_LIST as the first option
to query the list of server exports. We can check for our
named export in this list and raise an error if it is not
found, instead of going ahead and sending NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME
with a name that we know will be rejected.

This improves the error reporting both in the case that the
server required TLS, and in the case that the client requested
export name does not exist on the server.

If the server does not support NBD_OPT_LIST, we just ignore
that and carry on with NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME as before.

      nbd: convert block client to use I/O channels for connection setup · 064097d9
      Daniel P. Berrangé authored 
      
This converts the NBD block driver client to use the QIOChannelSocket
class for initial connection setup. The NbdClientSession struct has
two pointers, one to the master QIOChannelSocket providing the raw
data channel, and one to a QIOChannel which is the current channel
used for I/O. Initially the two point to the same object, but when
TLS support is added, they will point to different objects.

The qemu-img & qemu-io tools now need to use MODULE_INIT_QOM to
ensure the QIOChannel object classes are registered. The qemu-nbd
tool already did this.

In this initial conversion though, all I/O is still actually done
using the raw POSIX sockets APIs.
