Libguestfs supports passing an ISO image as a source of virtio windows drivers to v2v. That support, however, looks too heavy-weight: in order to access those drivers, a separate guestfs handle is created (and thus a new emulator process is started), which runs until v2v completes. This series attempts to make it simpler and lighter-weight, by making the relevant code more local, and by hot-adding the image into the main guestfs handle.

New subject: [PATCH 1/4] v2v: drop useless forced gc

Forced gc meant, according to the comment, to prevent the leak of the auxiliary guestfs handle (and thus an extra qemu instance) to the data copy stage of the v2v conversion, doesn't actually achieve its goal: it's easy to check that in reality that extra qemu instance survives till the end of v2v execution. So drop it; an alternative scheme will be proposed in the followup patches.

New subject: [PATCH 2/4] v2v: consolidate virtio-win file copying

Copy the appropriate driver files from the virtio-win storage into %SYSTEMROOT%\Drivers\VirtIO once they are discovered, and stick to using those copies later on. This way the knowledge of where the drivers come from originally is consolidated in one place, so the lifetime of the associated entities becomes easier to control (to be implemented in followup patches).

New subject: [PATCH 4/4] v2v: reuse main guestfs for virtio win drivers iso

If we're given a ISO image as the source of virtio windows drivers, reuse the same guestfs handle that is open for accessing the guest being inspected, rather than creating a new one. This is lighter-weight and more convenient, and, given the support for hot-inserting/ejecting an ISO image in libguestfs, appears no less reliable.

What happened was I wanted to look at why the inner handle never got GC'd. And I did have a look at that, couldn't work out for the life of me why, and gave up. I'm going to look at the two patches again, so give me a bit.

OK will do.

I spotted a few problems - There's a missing pair of parentheses around the then clause in: g2#mount_ro "/dev/sda" vio_root; let paths = g2#find vio_root in Array.iter ( fun path -> let source = vio_root // path in if ((g2#is_file source ~followsymlinks:false) && (match_vio_path_with_os path inspect.i_arch inspect.i_major_version inspect.i_minor_version inspect.i_product_variant)) then ^^^ which makes me think this code can't possibly work.

Indeed. It failed neither in compilation nor in tests, though. Looks like I need to patch v2v/test-v2v-windows-conversion.sh, too. Roman.

When I replied I didn't already remember for certain how I verified that the code did achieve its goal; however now that I have a test for it (submitted today, needs fixing the stylistic comments but working otherwise) I claim that it passes with this code, i.e. all the drivers do get copied into the guest upon conversion. So this code does work as intended; being totally clueless in OCaml I'd appreciate being explained -- how?

I can't figure out why it's unnecessary and how to remove it. The only place where String.lowercase is called is in match_vio_path_with_os() which is basically unchanged in the patch, it's only factored out into a separate function. It tries to do case-insensitive comparison of the path elements to constant strings; is there a way to do it other than downcasing both sides of the comparison? Thanks, Roman.

It's like in C. The following two if statements do different things: if foo then ( stmt_1; stmt_2; ) if foo then stmt_1; stmt_2; The second one runs stmt_2 unconditionally.

Oh I see - yes it's broken upstream too :-( (See the comment "XXX This won't work if paths contain non-ASCII.") Since String.lowercase assumes the string is ISO-8859-1, it could actually corrupt UTF-8 paths. As usual we're in a hard place here because we don't want to add dependencies on external libraries like Camomile (https://github.com/yoriyuki/Camomile) which would be the obvious choice, but no one has written a working replacement for mllib/common_utils.ml. Whatever you do, make sure it's obvious that it's still broken and needs to be fixed.

Looks right... The problem is that the statement which runs unconditionally is g#cp source target where, in case the condition evaluates to false, "target" is undefined, and "source" is anything returned from g#find vio_root, including directories. I thought that would case an exception one way or another, but it doesn't...

The XXX comment was kept unmodified, and is now sitting at the top of this function. So I guess I can consider this concern addressed, can I? I just came across another problem in the last patch of the series, though: I accidentally configured libguestfs to use direct backend, and immediately discovered that reusing the main guestfs handle doesn't work with it due to the lack of support for hotplugging drives. So I'll need to reconsider it somehow (perhaps try with hotplug and fall back to creating a new handle on exception). Thanks, Roman.

Why don't we just use the second handle. The real issue is why the handle isn't being cleaned up by the GC, which may reveal some deeper bug somewhere. I only had a brief look at this.

I guess you mean that it would trigger a compile error; it didn't, and it overall worked as if the parentheses were there. OK it doesn't really matter, I'll stick in the parentheses anyway; no point digging into OCaml peculiarities.

Well, because it's resource-intensive and looks like an overkill for a simple job of parsing an iso image. Not that critical, of course, and we can drop the 4th patch altogether, if you think it's not worth while. Roman.

New subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] v2v: simplify driver copying from virtio-win iso

Libguestfs supports passing an ISO image as a source of virtio windows drivers to v2v. That support, however, looks too heavy-weight: in order to access those drivers, a separate guestfs handle is created (and thus a new emulator process is started), which runs until v2v triggers garbage collection. This series attempts to make it simpler and lighter-weight, by making the relevant code more local, and by hot-adding the image into the main guestfs handle if supported by the backend. Roman Kagan (4): v2v: consolidate virtio-win file copying v2v: copy virtio drivers without guestfs handle leak v2v: drop useless forced gc v2v: reuse main guestfs for virtio win drivers iso --- changes since v1: - rebased to latest master (in particular, updated usage of string functions) - add missing and remove excessive parentheses - reorder patches - preserve support for backends with no hot-add capability v2v/convert_windows.ml | 206 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- v2v/utils.ml | 212 +++++++++++++++---------------------------------- v2v/v2v.ml | 8 -- 3 files changed, 179 insertions(+), 247 deletions(-) -- 2.4.3

Copy the appropriate driver files from the virtio-win storage into %SYSTEMROOT%\Drivers\VirtIO once they are discovered, and stick to using those copies later on.

I believe this warning gets lost in this patch. To get it back, let's make 'copy_virtio_drivers' returns a true/false indication ('true' meaning that at least some drivers were copied), and the caller code in 'install_virtio_drivers' should check this, and either do the code above, or continue with the code below.

Is there any difference between not being able to locate some of the virtio drivers or all of them? With this patch, you'll get an individual warning for every one of the missing drivers. I don't see why we need an extra case for "all drivers missing" (for any particular value of "all"). Roman.

Yes - if there are no drivers located at all, it indicates some more fundamental failure such as the user pointing to the wrong ISO. In any case, if it were right to remove this warning, then it should be done in a separate commit.

New subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] v2v: drop useless forced gc

Now that virtio driver copying is localized in a single function and the auxiliary guestfs handle doesn't leak outside of it (and thus an extra qemu instance doesn't survive beyond that function's runtime) there's no need in the forced GC which used to trigger closing of that handle and termination of that qemu instance.

I really don't like this specific patch. Hotplugging is not very reliable in my experience. The patch tries to work out if hotplugging is going to work by calling guestfs_add_drive and taking an alternate path, but I'm not so convinced that would work on other architectures (eg. hotplugging on aarch64 is in various states between not working at all and flaky). Are you observing any benefit with this patch? v2v conversion takes a long time - I can't believe the extra overhead of creating a handle could make much difference.

Frankly, I don't have convincing numbers to justify this patch. In my measurements with test conversions on an overwise idle workstation gives on the order of 5% gain where statistical variance is just a little less; OTOH LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct gives statistically significant 30-40% improvement :) We've been thinking of doing mass VM conversion where an extra qemu instance for every v2v operation would create significant memory and io overhead but I don't have a proof of that. In view of hot-add being unstable as you say, I'm fine with dropping this patch altogether. Thanks, Roman.

Copy the appropriate driver files from the virtio-win storage into %SYSTEMROOT%\Drivers\VirtIO once they are discovered, and stick to using those copies later on.

New subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] v2v: drop useless forced gc

Now that virtio driver copying is localized in a single function and the auxiliary guestfs handle doesn't leak outside of it (and thus an extra qemu instance doesn't survive beyond that function's runtime) there's no need in the forced GC which used to trigger closing of that handle and termination of that qemu instance.

Libguestfs supports passing an ISO image as a source of virtio windows drivers to v2v. This series attempts to make it simpler and better scoped.

Looks good (apart from patch 3 - the Gc.compact is necessary!) I'm just running the tests and will push it later if that goes well.

Why? As a matter of fact that was the primary reason I even started with this patchset: that Gc.compact was sitting in the middle of the main v2v function and was yet another obstacle in the refactoring I was after. Now that the extra guestfs handle doesn't survive beyond copy_virtio_drivers() what is the need for that explicit GC (which was introduced at the time exactly to clear up that handle in commit 47b5f245bec908f803f0a89c3b1e3166cfe33aad)?

Just because the handle becomes unreachable doesn't mean the GC will immediately collect it. Objects are only required to be finalized when you invoke Gc.full_major (Gc.compact calls Gc.full_major). Previous to these patches, the handle was still unreachable, but Gc.compact didn't free it because of a different problem. That different issue has been fixed by: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/8bbc5e73cb5b56b5cfbe979ac... In summary, we still need to call Gc.compact before doing the long-running copy operation, to make sure that the resources used by virt-v2v are minimized during the copy.

What resources are you talking about? The only costly resource eater is the auxiliary hypervisor backend instance; it used to be terminated indirectly via this forced GC here (after your fix), but now it's shut down explictly before leaving copy_virtio_drivers(). Anything else that can get collected here is negligible compared to what remains. Roman.
