NOTE: Patch 1 already ACK'd
Patches 2-4 adjusted slightly to not create/use qemuMonitorJSONQueryBlockArgs
instead opting to pass all the args (also shortened helper names slightly).
Patch 5 adjusted to receive all args in qemuMonitorJSONQueryBlock and then
call one of two callbacks based on whether the table or search is being used.
I did have a version that used ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED and one generic callback, but
I thought that was uglier.

qemu: Split out filling of JSONBlockStats data
qemu: Split out filling of JSONDiskNameLookup data

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 2/5] qemu: Split out filling of JSONGetBlockInfo data
Create a helper function which will read the device data and fill in a
hash table entry with that data. In preparation for some more code reuse.
The helper function will take as an argument a new local static structure
in order to define the arguments. This will make it possible to combine
more code in later patches.
NB: Adjust error reporting to not use 'removable' or 'locked' as an
argument to reporting error - rather just inline that in the message.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 5/5] qemu: Combine the various ways to call query-block
Now that each of the 3 callers to "query-block" has relatively the same
flow, combine the remaining flow into qemuMonitorJSONQueryBlock and of
course rework the function comments to describe the expectations.
The qemuMonitorJSONQueryBlock will now take multiple parameters and call
the helper that exists to fill just the specific data requested.
Each of the callers is essentially reduced to a shim calling the common
function with its specific qemuMonitorJSONQueryBlockFill* helper to
handle the needs for the specific caller.
NB: Also adjust the first "error message in the devices parsing loop
to make it easier to distinguish which failure occurred.

NACK to 2 - 5.

As I've said in v1 review I don't quite see a value in introducing
callbacks just to be able to extract 3 repetitions of a for loop.
Especially since the worker functions take pretty diverse parameters.
And as I said in my response - it's primarily to cut down on cut-n-paste
(code repetition) of the 3 methods that are parsing the same returned
data in the same way, but looking for different things.
Two of the workers take essentially the same parameters (one takes
backingChain) while the third worker is quite different, but that's
because it's looking for more specific data. As also noted in my
response, it's the PITA.
The goal/purpose was a reaction to changes proposed in the introduce
pull backups patch series which modified the returned GetBlockInfo to
add a fetch/store of 'virtual-size'. Those changes introduced some error
logic into a function that concerned me. IIRC, the logic took what could
be a non static value and treated it as static. So rather than fetch the
value just once at startup, the thought was introduce a means that would
allow "new code" to fetch what was desired as it was needed. In fact, I
think my response indicated that code should mimic how the
FillDiskNameLookup code works although perhaps misinterpreted to being
add the virtual-size field to that code.
What would make sense to extract is the checks that validate that the
returned data is in somewhat sane format in the helper that you've added
in patch 1. (also mentioned in previous review).
Since you didn't explicitly state which checks, I'm assuming you mean
either:
if (!(devices = virJSONValueObjectGetArray(reply, "return"))) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("block info reply was missing device list"));
goto cleanup;
}
I did consider moving this into the helper and returning devices but ran
into the problem that the helper would virJSONValueFree(reply) while
returning devices which is then used by the for loop to get each device
(dev = virJSONValueArrayGet(devices, i)).
Since devices points into reply, I didn't think that would be such a
good idea to free reply and then return devices. Returning reply and
fetching devices again seemed pointless.
or you could also be referencing the for loop checks :
if (!dev || dev->type != VIR_JSON_TYPE_OBJECT) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("block info device entry was not in
expected format"));
goto cleanup;
}
if (!(thisdev = virJSONValueObjectGetString(dev, "device"))) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("block info device entry was not in
expected format"));
goto cleanup;
}
I see a very nominally small value in creating a helper to do those checks.
In any case, I can drop patches 2-5. I do see value in them, but also
understand your point about the callbacks and arguments.

That should be perhaps a hint that they should not be merged.

If it's a problem to add it to the current structures there are two
options:
1) The design of the new code is bad
2) The design of the libvirt code currently in is bad
Looking at the code, the design of the feature is bad. The checks don't
necessarily need to be in the monitor extractor, but the usage place can
check that the required data is present and valid.
Currently the libvirt block job code is not really how it should be. We
are not able to properly track the bakcing chains in the XML and map
them to qemu block information nor are we using node names. Until we fix
this all block job code won't work properly
Either way we should not try to find ways how to hack it around but make
it properly.
I plan to finally get around and fix all the block job and backing chain
problems we have after I finish with the vcpu stuff so I'd really
appreciate if I don't have to remove hacks like this in the near future.

This is the "duplicated" code according to your patch. Let's deconstruct
it:
if (!(devices = virJSONValueObjectGetArray(reply, "return"))) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("block info reply was missing device list"));
goto cleanup;
} [1]
for (i = 0; i < virJSONValueArraySize(devices); i++) { [2]
virJSONValuePtr dev;
const char *thisdev;
int rc;
dev = virJSONValueArrayGet(devices, i); [3]
if (!dev || dev->type != VIR_JSON_TYPE_OBJECT) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("block info device or type was not in "
"expected format"));
goto cleanup;
} [4]
if (!(thisdev = virJSONValueObjectGetString(dev, "device"))) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("block info device entry was not in "
"expected format"));
goto cleanup;
} [5]
So let's tear it down piece by piece:
[1] A global check which can easily be extracted after patch 1 into the
common function.
[4] If this check bothers you, for a simple expense of adding a for loop
this can be part of the common code calling the monitor command itself.
One iteration over a rather short array, where you can make sure that
the returned JSON array is valid.
[5] This extracts the name of the device. A simple static function can
replace it and report the proper error.
if (!(thisdev = qemuMonitorQueryBlockGetDevice(dev)))
goto cleanup;
[2] and [3] This very complex (sarcasm) structure loops over the entries
and extracts individual members. I really fail to see how extracting
this at the price of callbacks and/or arguments hidden in a structure
make the code any better or any further expansions simpler.

Let's assume the helper is:

+{
+ virJSONValuePtr cmd;
+ virJSONValuePtr reply = NULL;
+ virJSONValuePtr devices = NULL;

+ }
+
+ cleanup:
+ virJSONValueFree(cmd);
+ virJSONValueFree(reply);
+ return devices;
+}
Wouldn't "reply" being free'd cause access problems for devices? Is
there other code somewhere else that gets the array, free's the object,
then parses the array? I didn't find any (for good reason)...
Sure we could still return reply... Then back in the callers make the
same virJSONValueObjectGetArray call without the error check to get
devices, but I didn't see the value in doing so.
Returning both reply and devices is possible, but similar such uses in
the past haven't been wildly popular.
And yes, I figured out what the code does. We differ in opinion on the
value of combining the duplicated code.
Since you plan on making further adjustments in this space, then fine as
I've already pointed out I'll drop patches 2-5.

It would as virJSONValueFree is recursive and thus everything would be
freed. Hence my comment of adding the "steal" function.
I find it ironic that it's more desirable to add code to virjson.c (1
external and 2 static), virjson.h, and libvirt.private_syms for the
single purpose that it's more desirable to have 3 API's follow the same
steps and it's less desirable to combine those API's in some manner. We
have a few API's that will pass/receive many parameters including
multiple NULL's and make the proper decision based on some key for the
function.
We have a difference of opinion on the way to do this - that's fine. I'm
moving on. No sense in beating this dead horse anymore.
