Handling extents is complicated, in particular when using async block
status. But I could not get this working using sync block status; It
seems that libnbd eats the events on the source, and then we hang
forever waiting for inflight reads.
Since getting extents is asynchronous, and starting new request depends
on being able to get the next extent, requests have now a new a waiting
state. When a request is started when extents are not available, it is
marked as waiting. When extents request is completed, we start all
waiting requests.
Here is example log showing whats going on while copying fedora 32
image:
The first request detect that we don't have extents yet, so it starts
aync block status request.
copy-libev: r0: start extents offset=0 count=134217728
copy-libev: r0: received 14 extents for base:allocation
copy-libev: r0: extents completed time=0.001098
When extent request completes, we start al waiting requests. The first
request (r0) looked into the first extent (e0) and consumed all of it:
copy-libev: r0: start request offset=0
copy-libev: e0: offset=0 len=65536 zero=0
copy-libev: r0: extent offset=0 len=65536 zero=0
copy-libev: r0: start read offset=0 len=65536
The second request (r15) is looking into the second extent (e1) and
consume all of it, starting a zero request:
copy-libev: r15: start request offset=65536
copy-libev: e1: offset=65536 len=983040 zero=1
copy-libev: r15: extent offset=65536 len=983040 zero=1
copy-libev: r15: start zero offset=65536 len=983040
...
Request (r12) looked into the fifth extent (e4), but since this extent
was large (10747904), it consume only 1m from it:
copy-libev: r12: start request offset=2097152
copy-libev: e4: offset=2097152 len=10747904 zero=0
copy-libev: r12: extent offset=2097152 len=1048576 zero=0
copy-libev: r12: start read offset=2097152 len=1048576
The next request consumed the next 1m from the same extent (e4):
copy-libev: r11: start request offset=3145728
copy-libev: e4: offset=3145728 len=9699328 zero=0
copy-libev: r11: extent offset=3145728 len=1048576 zero=0
copy-libev: r11: start read offset=3145728 len=1048576
copy-libev: r10: start request offset=4194304
..
The last part of extent e4 was consumed, and we switched to extent e5:
copy-libev: r2: start request offset=12582912
copy-libev: e4: offset=12582912 len=262144 zero=0
copy-libev: r2: extent offset=12582912 len=262144 zero=0
copy-libev: r2: start read offset=12582912 len=262144
copy-libev: r1: start request offset=12845056
copy-libev: e5: offset=12845056 len=131072 zero=1
copy-libev: r1: extent offset=12845056 len=131072 zero=1
copy-libev: r1: start zero offset=12845056 len=131072
...
Request (r11) consumed the last extent (e13), starting a zero request.
This free the extents array:
copy-libev: r11: start request offset=133955584
copy-libev: e13: offset=133955584 len=262144 zero=1
copy-libev: r11: extent offset=133955584 len=262144 zero=1
copy-libev: r11: consumed all extents offset=134217728
copy-libev: r11: start zero offset=133955584 len=262144
...
Request (r12) started when extents array as cleared, so it started new
block status request:
copy-libev: r12: start extents offset=134217728 count=134217728
...
copy-libev: r12: received 3 extents for base:allocation
copy-libev: r12: extents completed time=0.003027
...
The rest of the flow is same as before. When all requests are done,
we shutdown the event loop and flush:
copy-libev: r4: request completed offset=6438256640 len=1048576 time=0.000132
copy-libev: r1: read completed offset=6442385408 len=65536
copy-libev: r1: start write offset=6442385408 len=65536
copy-libev: r14: request completed offset=6439305216 len=1048576 time=0.000126
copy-libev: r8: request completed offset=6440353792 len=1048576 time=0.000151
copy-libev: r2: request completed offset=6441402368 len=983040 time=0.000143
copy-libev: r1: request completed offset=6442385408 len=65536 time=0.000142
copy-libev: flush
