+Qemu supports the NBD protocol, and has an internal NBD client (see
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+block/nbd.c), an internal NBD server (see blockdev-nbd.c), and an
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+external NBD server tool (see qemu-nbd.c). The common code is placed
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+in nbd/*.
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+The NBD protocol is specified here:
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/master/doc/proto.md
|
|
|

+The following paragraphs describe some specific properties of NBD
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+protocol realization in Qemu.

+Qemu supports the "base:allocation" metadata context as defined in the
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+NBD protocol specification, and also defines an additional metadata
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+namespace "qemu".
|
|

+== "qemu" namespace ==
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+The "qemu" namespace currently contains only one type of context,
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+related to exposing the contents of a dirty bitmap alongside the
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+associated disk contents. That context has the following form:
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+ qemu:dirty-bitmap:<dirty-bitmap-export-name>
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+Each dirty-bitmap metadata context defines only one flag for extents
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+in reply for NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS:
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+ bit 0: NBD_STATE_DIRTY, means that the extent is "dirty"
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+For NBD_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT the following queries are supported
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+in addition to "qemu:dirty-bitmap:<dirty-bitmap-export-name>":
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+* "qemu:" - returns list of all available metadata contexts in the
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+ namespace.
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+* "qemu:dirty-bitmap:" - returns list of all available dirty-bitmap
|
|
|
1bdc94 |
+ metadata contexts.
