blk_by_export_id() finds export @exp, and returns the associated block
backend exp->blk.  Fine.

blk_by_qdev_id() finds the device, and then searches @block_backends for
a blk with blk->dev == blk.  If a device has more than one block
backend, you get the one first in @block_backends.  I figure that's the
one created first.

Interface issue: when a device has multiple block backends, only one of
them can be replaced, and which one is kind of random.

Do such devices exist?

If no, could they exist?

If yes, what should we do about it now?

I'm kind of unhappy with this doc comment.  I feel makes sense only in
the context of its use.  Let me try to avoid that:

   # @driver: the parent is a block node, the child is one of its
   #     children.
   #
   # @export: the parent is a block export, the child is its block
   #     backend.
   #
   # @qdev: the parent is a device, the child is its block backend.

If you take my comment, change the order here as well.

block-export.json calls this "block export id" in some places, and
"block export identifier" in others.  *Sigh*

Nothing to see here, move on!

s/block-node/block node/ for consistency with existing usage.

Likewise, s/block-export/block export/.

The last sentence is confusing.

> +    error_setg(errp, "Parameter 'parent-type' does not accept value 'qdev'");

I suggested this message.  I must have suffered from tunnel vision then.

The error message is good when the caller is qmp_blockdev_replace().
Then parameter @parent-type exists, and parameter value "qdev" cannot
work for any value of parameter "qdev-id" (which is @id here).

There are several more callers.  They don't use the stub now (or else
they wouldn't link before this patch).  But future callers may well use
it, and then the error message will likely be misleading.

v8 had

       error_setg(errp, "blk '%s' not found", id);

instead.  No good, because @id is not a "blk" (whatever that may be),
it's a qdev ID.  You offered "devices are not supported".  Less than
ideal, since it doesn't point to the argument that's causing the error,
but I figure it's the best we can do without refactoring.  Maybe
"can't select block backend by device ID".  Up to you.

Hmm.. I expect, they don't. If there is a problem, it's pre-existing, all callers of qmp_get_blk are affected. But honestly, I don't know.

Maybe, continue the loop in blk_by_dev() up the the end, and if two blk found for the device, return an error? Or even abort?

And add check to blk_attach_dev(), that we don't attach same device to several blks.

Hmm. I'd say that parent is denoted only by node-name, as parent is node itself (the fact that we have separate BdrvChild structure as a parent I'd keep as internal realization). But parent may have several children, and concrete child is denoted by @child.

"selecting block backend by device ID is not supported" may be?

Looking back at this all, I now have another idea: instead of trying to unite different types of parents, maybe just publish concept of BdrvChild to QAPI? So that it will have unique id. Like for block-nodes, it could be auto-generated or specified by user.

Then we'll add parameters for commands:

device-add
    root-child-slot-id: ID

block-export-add
    block-child-slot-id: ID

and for block-drivers we already have BlockdevRef structure, it only lacks an id.

{ 'alternate': 'BlockdevRef',
   'data': { 'definition': 'BlockdevOptions',
             'reference': 'str' } }

hmm.. Could it be as simple as


{ 'alternate': 'BlockdevRef',
   'base': { '*child-slot-id': 'str' },
   'data': { 'definition': 'BlockdevOptions',
             'reference': 'str' } }

?

Unfortunately, no: "../qapi/block-core.json:4781: alternate has unknown key 'base'"

Anyway, I believe, some solution should exist, probably by improving QAPI generator. Or, add "child-slot-id" to base of BlockdevOptions, and add virtual "reference" BlockdevDriver, to handle case with reference.


----

And finally, the new command becomes as simple as:

{ 'command': 'blockdev-replace',
   'data': {'child-slot': 'str', 'new-child': 'str' } }

Oops that was obviously impossible idea :) Then, I think the only way is to introduce virtual "reference" BlockdevDriver, with only one parameter { 'reference': 'str' }, this way user will be able to specify

file: {driver: reference, reference: NODE_NAME, child-slot-id: NEW_ID}

I don't think adding such a hack would make the interface any nicer
compared to what you have now with the union.

If we want to get rid of the union, I think the best course of action
would unifying the namespaces (so that nodes, exports and devices can't
share the same ID) and then we could just accept a universal 'id' along
with 'child'.

This would mean having 'child' even for devices, which feels
unnecessary at least in the common case, but it would at the same time
resolve Markus' concern if there could be any devices with multiple
BlockBackends.

I can only think of isa-fdc that used to be such a device, but that was
just incorrect modelling on the qdev level. Not sure if there are actual
legitimate use cases for having multiple BlockBackends.

Anyway, for the moment, I would suggest going ahead with the union.
