[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 2/2] char: allow passing pre-opened socket file descriptor at startup

[Daniel P. Berrange]

When starting QEMU management apps will usually setup a monitor socket, and
then open it immediately after startup. If not using QEMU's own -daemonize
arg, this process can be troublesome to handle correctly. The mgmt app will
need to repeatedly call connect() until it succeeds, because it does not
know when QEMU has created the listener socket. If can't retry connect()
forever though, because an error might have caused QEMU to exit before it
even creates the monitor.

The obvious way to fix this kind of problem is to just pass in a pre-opened
socket file descriptor for the QEMU monitor to listen on. The management app
can now immediately call connect() just once. If connect() fails it knows
that QEMU has exited with an error.

The SocketAddress(Legacy) structs allow for FD passing via the monitor, using
the 'getfd' command, but only when using QMP JSON syntax. The HMP syntax has
no way to initialize the SocketAddress(Legacy) 'fd' variant. So this patch
first wires up the 'fd' parameter to refer to a monitor file descriptor,
allowing HMP to use

   getfd myfd
   chardev-add socket,fd=myfd

The SocketAddress 'fd' variant is currently tied to the use of the monitor
'getfd' command, so we have a chicken & egg problem with reusing that at
startup wher no monitor connection is available. We could define that the
special fd name prefix '/dev/fdset' refers to a FD passed via the CLI, but
magic strings feel unpleasant.

Instead we define a SocketAddress 'fdset' variant that takes an fd set number
that works in combination with the 'add-fd' command line argument. e.g.

  -add-fd fd=3,set=1
  -chardev socket,fdset=1,id=mon
  -mon chardev=mon,mode=control

Note that we do not wire this up in the legacy chardev syntax, so you cannot
use FD passing with '-qmp', you must use the modern '-mon' + '-chardev' pair

An illustrative example of usage is:

  #!/usr/bin/perl

  use IO::Socket::UNIX;
  use Fcntl;

  unlink "/tmp/qmp";
  my $srv = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(
    Type => SOCK_STREAM(),
    Local => "/tmp/qmp",
    Listen => 1,
  );

  my $flags = fcntl $srv, F_GETFD, 0;
  fcntl $srv, F_SETFD, $flags & ~FD_CLOEXEC;

  my $fd = $srv->fileno();

  exec "qemu-system-x86_64", \
      "-add-fd", "fd=$fd,set=1", \
      "-chardev", "socket,fdset=1,server,nowait,id=mon", \
      "-mon", "chardev=mon,mode=control";
