Upcoming additions to support NBD 64-bit effect lengths allow for the
possibility to distinguish between payload length (capped at 32M) and
effect length (64 bits, although we generally assume 63 bits because
of off_t limitations). Without that extension, only the NBD_CMD_WRITE
request has a payload; but with the extension, it makes sense to allow
at least NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS to have both a payload and effect length
in a future patch (where the payload is a limited-size struct that in
turn gives the real effect length as well as a subset of known ids for
which status is requested). Other future NBD commands may also have a
request payload, so the 64-bit extension introduces a new
NBD_CMD_FLAG_PAYLOAD_LEN that distinguishes between whether the header
length is a payload length or an effect length, rather than
hard-coding the decision based on the command.
According to the spec, a client should never send a command with a
payload without the negotiation phase proving such extension is
available. So in the unlikely event the bit is set or cleared
incorrectly, the client is already at fault; if the client then
provides the payload, we can gracefully consume it off the wire and
fail the command with NBD_EINVAL (subsequent checks for magic numbers
ensure we are still in sync), while if the client fails to send
payload we block waiting for it (basically deadlocking our connection
to the bad client, but not negatively impacting our ability to service
other clients, so not a security risk). Note that we do not support
the payload version of BLOCK_STATUS yet.
This patch also fixes a latent bug introduced in b2578459: once
request->len can be 64 bits, assigning it to a 32-bit payload_len can
cause wraparound to 0 which then sets req->complete prematurely;
thankfully, the bug was not possible back then (it takes this and
later patches to even allow request->len larger than 32 bits; and
since previously the only 'payload_len = request->len' assignment was
in NBD_CMD_WRITE which also sets check_length, which in turn rejects
lengths larger than 32M before relying on any possibly-truncated value
stored in payload_len).

=========== QEMU README =========== QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and virtualizer. QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7 board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board). QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation. QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings. It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API. It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager. QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file. Documentation ============= Documentation can be found hosted online at `<https://www.qemu.org/documentation/>`_. The documentation for the current development version that is available at `<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/>`_ is generated from the ``docs/`` folder in the source tree, and is built by `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_. Building ======== QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are: .. code-block:: shell mkdir build cd build ../configure make Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website: * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_ * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_ * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_ Submitting patches ================== The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system. .. code-block:: shell git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu.git When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the guidelines set out in the `style section <https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/style.html>`_ of the Developers Guide. Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via the QEMU website * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_ * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_ The QEMU website is also maintained under source control. .. code-block:: shell git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web.git * `<https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/>`_ A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions, or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps manually for once. For installation instructions, please go to * `<https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish>`_ The workflow with 'git-publish' is: .. code-block:: shell $ git checkout master -b my-feature $ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each $ git publish Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer back to it in the future. Sending v2: .. code-block:: shell $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch $ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example) $ git publish Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip will be tagged as my-feature-v2. Bug reporting ============= The QEMU project uses GitLab issues to track bugs. Bugs found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources should be reported via: * `<https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues>`_ If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be reported via GitLab. For additional information on bug reporting consult: * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_ ChangeLog ========= For version history and release notes, please visit `<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for more detailed information. Contact ======= The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two main methods being email and IRC * `<mailto:qemu-devel@nongnu.org>`_ * `<https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel>`_ * #qemu on irc.oftc.net Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be found online via the QEMU website: * `<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/StartHere>`_
