[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 0/4] Add truncate and map filters.
This patch series proposes two new filters. * truncate: This can truncate, extend, round up or round down the size of a plugin/device. A typical usage is to fix the qemu problem that it can only handle devices which are a multiple of 512-bytes: nbdkit --filter=truncate random size=500 round-up=512 This will serve a virtual device with size 512 bytes. Reading from the last 12 bytes will return zeroes. And writing is permitted, provided you only write zeroes. An alternative might have been to extend the offset filter to deal with this, but that could have got quite clumsy. * map: This is an all-purpose remapping filter. Best to read the man page to see what this does. (These filters are not really related to each other, except that the truncate filter turned out to be necessary to test the map filter.) Rich.

This can truncate, extend, or round up/down to a multiple.

+=head1 NAME
+
+nbdkit-truncate-filter - change the size of plugins
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ nbdkit --filter=truncate plugin [truncate=SIZE]
+ [round-up=N] [round-down=N]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<nbdkit-truncate-filter> is a filter that changes the size of
+the underlying plugin. It can:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+Make the plugin smaller (truncate it). Use the C<truncate=SIZE>
+parameter to set the smaller size.
+
+=item *
+
+Make the plugin larger (the additional bytes read back as zeroes).
+Use C<truncate=SIZE> to set the larger size.
+
+=item *
+
+Round the size of the plugin up or down to the next multiple of C<N>.
+Use either C<round-up=N> or C<round-down=N>.
+
+=back
+
+A common use for this filter is to handle NBD clients which have a
+problem dealing with device sizes which are not a multiple of 512
+bytes. Use C<round-up=512> to round the size up to the next multiple
+of 512 bytes. If the size is already a multiple of 512 bytes then
+this has no effect.
+
+=head1 PARAMETERS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<truncate=SIZE>
+
+Set the absolute size in bytes of the apparent device. This may be
+smaller or larger or the same as the underlying plugin.
+
+If the size of larger than the underlying plugin, reading the extra
+space returns zeroes, and any non-zero writes will return an error
+back to the client.
+
+This parameter is optional.
+
+=item B<round-up=N>
+
+Round the size up to the next multiple of C<N> bytes. If the size of
+the underlying plugin is already a multiple of C<N> bytes, this has no
+effect.
+
+This parameter is optional.
+
+=item B<round-down=N>
+
+Round the size down to a multiple of C<N> bytes. If the size of the
+underlying plugin is already a multiple of C<N> bytes, this has no
+effect.
+
+This parameter is optional.

+ * what is passed along to the underlying plugin (or next filter in
+ * the chain).
+ *
+ * mappings: Single entries (lines) in the map file. They are of the
+ * form (plugin, request), ie. the mapping is done backwards.
+ *
+ * interval: start-end or (start, length).
+ *
+ * Only one mapping can apply to each requested byte. This fact is
+ * crucial as it allows us to store the mappings in a simple array
+ * with no overlapping intervals, and use an efficient binary search
+ * to map incoming requests to the plugin.
+ *
+ * When we read the map file we start with an empty array and add the
+ * intervals to it. At all times we must maintain the invariant that

+=head1 NAME
+
+nbdkit-map-filter - nbdkit map filter
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ nbdkit --filter=map plugin map=FILENAME [plugin-args...]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<nbdkit-map-filter> is a filter that can serve an arbitrary map of
+regions of the underlying plugin.
+
+It is driven by a map file that contains a list of regions from the
+plugin and where they should be served in the output.
+
+For example this map would divide the plugin data into two 16K halves
+and swap them over:
+
+ # map file
+ 0,16K 16K # aaaaa
+ 16K,16K 0 # bbbbb
+
+When visualised, this map file looks like:
+
+ ┌──────────────┬──────────────┬─── ─ ─ ─
+ Plugin serves ... │ aaaaaaaaaaaa │ bbbbbbbbbbbb │ (extra data)
+ │ 16K │ 16K │
+ └──────────────┴──────────────┴─── ─ ─ ─
+ │ │
+ Filter │ ┌─────────┘
+ transforms ... └──────────────┐
+ │ │
+ ┌──────────▼───┬─────▼────────┐
+ Client sees ... │ bbbbbbbbbbbb │ aaaaaaaaaaaa │
+ └──────────────┴──────────────┘
+
+This is how to simulate L<nbdkit-offset-filter(1)> C<offset> and
+C<range> parameters:
+
+ # offset,range
+ 1M,32M 0
+
+ ┌─────┬─────────────────────┬─── ─ ─ ─
+ Plugin serves ... │ │ ccccccccccccccccccc │ (extra data)
+ │ 1M │ 32M │
+ └─────┴─────────────────────┴─── ─ ─ ─
+ Filter │
+ transforms ... ┌─────┘
+ │
+ ┌─────────▼───────────┐
+ Client sees ... │ ccccccccccccccccccc │
+ └─────────────────────┘
+
+You can also do obscure things like duplicating regions of the source:
+
+ # map file
+ 0,16K 0
+ 0,16K 16K
+
+ ┌──────────────┬─── ─ ─ ─
+ Plugin serves ... │ aaaaaaaaaaaa │ (extra data)
+ │ 16K │
+ └──────────────┴─── ─ ─ ─
+ Filter │
+ transforms ... └───┬──────────┐
+ │ │
+ ┌─────────▼────┬─────▼────────┐
+ Client sees ... │ aaaaaaaaaaaa │ aaaaaaaaaaaa │
+ └──────────────┴──────────────┘
+
+=head2 Map file format
+
+The map file describes how regions from the plugin are mapped to the
+output. There is one line per mapping. Blank lines are ignored.
+C<#> indicates a comment.
+
+Each line (mapping) has one of the following forms:
+
+ start,length offset # see "start,length" below
+ start-end offset # see "start-end" below
+ start- offset # see "start to end of plugin" below
+ start offset # see "start to end of plugin" below
+
+=head2 C<start,length>
+
+ start,length offset
+
+means that the source region starting at byte C<start>, for
C<length>
+bytes, is mapped to C<offset> to C<offset+length-1> in the output.
+
+For example:
+
+ 16K,8K 0
+
+maps the 8K-sized region starting at 16K in the source to the
+beginning (ie. from offset 0) of the output.
+
+=head2 C<start-end>
+
+ start-end offset
+
+means that the source region starting at byte C<start> through to byte
+C<end> (inclusive) is mapped to C<offset> through to
+C<offset+(end-start)> in the output.
+
+For example:
+
+ 1024-2047 2048
+
+maps the region starting at byte 1024 and ending at byte 2047
+(inclusive) to bytes 2048-3071 in the output.
+
+=head2 C<start> to end of plugin
+
+ start- offset
+ start offset
+
+If the C<end> field is omitted it means "up to the end of the
+underlying plugin".
+
+=head2 Size modifiers
+
+You can use the usual power-of-2 size modifiers like C<K>, C<M>
etc.
+
+=head2 Overlapping mappings
+
+If there are multiple mappings in the map file that may apply to a
+particular byte of the filter output then it is the last one in the
+file which applies.
+
+=head2 Virtual size
+
+The virtual size of the filter output finishes at the last byte of the
+final mapped region. Note this is usually different from the size of
+the underlying plugin.
+
+=head2 Unmapped regions
+
+Any unmapped region (followed by a mapped region and therefore not
+beyond the virtual size) reads as zero and returns an error if
+written.
+
+Any mapping or part of a mapping where the source region refers beyond
+the end of the underlying plugin reads as zero and returns an error if
+written.

Otherwise looks good to me. The offset filter duplicates behavior when real_size > truncated size, but the real win with this filter is when real_size < truncated size for quickly padding a plugin's actual length into a more practical length (qemu already does just that on every single image, rounding out to sector boundaries, although when it comes to writing in the last partial sector, qemu actually tries to resize the underlying file, for slightly less predictable outcomes than your nice trick of EIO unless the action doesn't change the all-zero read nature of the tail). -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
