<p>Dirty Bitmaps are in-memory objects that track writes to block devices. They
can be used in conjunction with various block job operations to perform
incremental or differential backup regimens.</p>
<p>This document explains the conceptual mechanisms, as well as up-to-date,
complete and comprehensive documentation on the API to manipulate them.
(Hopefully, the “why”, “what”, and “how”.)</p>
<p>The intended audience for this document is developers who are adding QEMU
backup features to management applications, or power users who run and
administer QEMU directly via QMP.</p>

<p>Bitmaps are bit vectors where each ‘1’ bit in the vector indicates a modified
(“dirty”) segment of the corresponding block device. The size of the segment
that is tracked is the granularity of the bitmap. If the granularity of a
bitmap is 64K, each ‘1’ bit means that a 64K region as a whole may have
changed in some way, possibly by as little as one byte.</p>
<p>Smaller granularities mean more accurate tracking of modified disk data, but
requires more computational overhead and larger bitmap sizes. Larger
granularities mean smaller bitmap sizes, but less targeted backups.</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>The size of a bitmap (in bytes) can be computed as such:</dt>
<dd><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">size</span></code> = ceil(ceil(<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">image_size</span></code> / <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">granularity</span></code>) / 8)</dd>
<dt>e.g. the size of a 64KiB granularity bitmap on a 2TiB image is:</dt>
<dd><dl class="first last docutils">
<dt><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">size</span></code> = ((2147483648K / 64K) / 8)</dt>
<dd>= 4194304B = 4MiB.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>QEMU uses these bitmaps when making incremental backups to know which sections
of the file to copy out. They are not enabled by default and must be
explicitly added in order to begin tracking writes.</p>
<p>Bitmaps can be created at any time and can be attached to any arbitrary block
node in the storage graph, but are most useful conceptually when attached to
the root node attached to the guest’s storage device model.</p>
<p>That is to say: It’s likely most useful to track the guest’s writes to disk,
but you could theoretically track things like qcow2 metadata changes by
attaching the bitmap elsewhere in the storage graph. This is beyond the scope
of this document.</p>
<p>QEMU supports persisting these bitmaps to disk via the qcow2 image format.
Bitmaps which are stored or loaded in this way are called “persistent”,
whereas bitmaps that are not are called “transient”.</p>
<p>QEMU also supports the migration of both transient bitmaps (tracking any
arbitrary image format) or persistent bitmaps (qcow2) via live migration.</p>

<p>QEMU supports all documented features below on the qcow2 image format.</p>
<p>However, qcow2 is only strictly necessary for the persistence feature, which
writes bitmap data to disk upon close. If persistence is not required for a
specific use case, all bitmap features excepting persistence are available for
any arbitrary image format.</p>
<p>For example, Dirty Bitmaps can be combined with the ‘raw’ image format, but
any changes to the bitmap will be discarded upon exit.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Dirty Bitmap Names</a><a class="headerlink" href="#dirty-bitmap-names" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Bitmap objects need a method to reference them in the API. All API-created and
managed bitmaps have a human-readable name chosen by the user at creation
time.</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">A bitmap’s name is unique to the node, but bitmaps attached to different
nodes can share the same name. Therefore, all bitmaps are addressed via
their (node, name) pair.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">The name of a user-created bitmap cannot be empty (“”).</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Transient bitmaps can have JSON unicode names that are effectively not
length limited. (QMP protocol may restrict messages to less than 64MiB.)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Persistent storage formats may impose their own requirements on bitmap names
and namespaces. Presently, only qcow2 supports persistent bitmaps. See
docs/interop/qcow2.txt for more details on restrictions. Notably:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>qcow2 bitmap names are limited to between 1 and 1023 bytes long.</li>
<li>No two bitmaps saved to the same qcow2 file may share the same name.</li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
</li>
<li><p class="first">QEMU occasionally uses bitmaps for internal use which have no name. They are
hidden from API query calls, cannot be manipulated by the external API, are
never persistent, nor ever migrated.</p>

</div>
<div class="section" id="bitmap-status">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7">Bitmap Status</a><a class="headerlink" href="#bitmap-status" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Dirty Bitmap objects can be queried with the QMP command <a class="reference external" href="qemu-qmp-ref.html#index-query_002dblock">query-block</a>, and are visible via the
<a class="reference external" href="qemu-qmp-ref.html#index-BlockDirtyInfo">BlockDirtyInfo</a> QAPI structure.</p>
<p>This struct shows the name, granularity, and dirty byte count for each bitmap.
Additionally, it shows several boolean status indicators:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">recording</span></code>: This bitmap is recording writes.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">busy</span></code>: This bitmap is in-use by an operation.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">persistent</span></code>: This bitmap is a persistent type.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">inconsistent</span></code>: This bitmap is corrupted and cannot be used.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+busy</span></code> status prohibits you from deleting, clearing, or otherwise
modifying a bitmap, and happens when the bitmap is being used for a backup
operation or is in the process of being loaded from a migration. Many of the
commands documented below will refuse to work on such bitmaps.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+inconsistent</span></code> status similarly prohibits almost all operations,
notably allowing only the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">block-dirty-bitmap-remove</span></code> operation.</p>
<p>There is also a deprecated <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">status</span></code> field of type <a class="reference external" href="qemu-qmp-ref.html#index-DirtyBitmapStatus">DirtyBitmapStatus</a>. A bitmap historically had
five visible states:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first"><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Frozen</span></code>: This bitmap is currently in-use by an operation and is
immutable. It can’t be deleted, renamed, reset, etc.</p>
<p>(This is now <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+busy</span></code>.)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Disabled</span></code>: This bitmap is not recording new writes.</p>
<p>(This is now <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-recording</span> <span class="pre">-busy</span></code>.)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Active</span></code>: This bitmap is recording new writes.</p>
<p>(This is now <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+recording</span> <span class="pre">-busy</span></code>.)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Locked</span></code>: This bitmap is in-use by an operation, and is immutable.
The difference from “Frozen” was primarily implementation details.</p>
<p>(This is now <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+busy</span></code>.)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Inconsistent</span></code>: This persistent bitmap was not saved to disk
correctly, and can no longer be used. It remains in memory to serve as
an indicator of failure.</p>
<p>(This is now <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+inconsistent</span></code>.)</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div></blockquote>
<p>These states are directly replaced by the status indicators and should not be
used. The difference between <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Frozen</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Locked</span></code> is an implementation
detail and should not be relevant to external users.</p>

<p>As outlined in <a class="reference internal" href="#supported-image-formats">Supported Image Formats</a>, QEMU can persist bitmaps to qcow2
files. Demonstrated in <a class="reference internal" href="#creation-block-dirty-bitmap-add">Creation: block-dirty-bitmap-add</a>, passing
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">persistent:</span> <span class="pre">true</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">block-dirty-bitmap-add</span></code> will persist that bitmap to
disk.</p>
<p>Persistent bitmaps will be automatically loaded into memory upon load, and
will be written back to disk upon close. Their usage should be mostly
transparent.</p>
<p>However, if QEMU does not get a chance to close the file cleanly, the bitmap
will be marked as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+inconsistent</span></code> at next load and considered unsafe to use
for any operation. At this point, the only valid operation on such bitmaps is
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">block-dirty-bitmap-remove</span></code>.</p>
<p>Losing a bitmap in this way does not invalidate any existing backups that have
been made from this bitmap, but no further backups will be able to be issued
for this chain.</p>

<div class="section" id="transactions">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id18">Transactions</a><a class="headerlink" href="#transactions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Transactions are a QMP feature that allows you to submit multiple QMP commands
at once, being guaranteed that they will all succeed or fail atomically,
together. The interaction of bitmaps and transactions are demonstrated below.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference external" href="qemu-qmp.ref.html#index-transaction">transaction</a> in the QMP reference
for more details.</p>
<div class="section" id="justification">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id19">Justification</a><a class="headerlink" href="#justification" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Bitmaps can generally be modified at any time, but certain operations often
only make sense when paired directly with other commands. When a VM is paused,
it’s easy to ensure that no guest writes occur between individual QMP
commands. When a VM is running, this is difficult to accomplish with
individual QMP commands that may allow guest writes to occur inbetween each
command.</p>
<p>For example, using only individual QMP commands, we could:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Boot the VM in a paused state.</li>
<li>Create a full drive backup of drive0.</li>
<li>Create a new bitmap attached to drive0, confident that nothing has been
written to drive0 in the meantime.</li>
<li>Resume execution of the VM.</li>
<li>At a later point, issue incremental backups from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bitmap0</span></code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>At this point, the bitmap and drive backup would be correctly in sync, and
incremental backups made from this point forward would be correctly aligned to
the full drive backup.</p>
<p>This is not particularly useful if we decide we want to start incremental
backups after the VM has been running for a while, for which we would want to
perform actions such as the following:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Boot the VM and begin execution.</li>
<li>Using a single transaction, perform the following operations:<ul>
<li>Create <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bitmap0</span></code>.</li>
<li>Create a full drive backup of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drive0</span></code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>At a later point, issue incremental backups from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bitmap0</span></code>.</li>
</ol>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">As a consideration, if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bitmap0</span></code> is created prior to the full
drive backup, incremental backups can still be authored from this
bitmap, but they will copy extra segments reflecting writes that
occurred prior to the backup operation. Transactions allow us to
narrow critical points in time to reduce waste, or, in the other
direction, to ensure that no segments are omitted.</p>

other partial disk images on top of a base image to reconstruct a full backup

<p>Each new incremental backup re-synchronizes the bitmap to the latest backup
authored, allowing a user to continue to “consume” it to create new backups on
top of an existing chain.</p>
<p>In the above diagram, neither drive0.inc1.qcow2 nor drive0.inc0.qcow2 are
complete images by themselves, but rely on their backing chain to reconstruct
a full image. The dependency terminates with each full backup.</p>
<p>Each backup in this chain remains independent, and is unchanged by new entries
made later in the chain. For instance, drive0.inc0.qcow2 remains a perfectly
valid backup of the disk as it was when that backup was issued.</p>

<p>In the event of an error that occurs after a push backup job is successfully
launched, either by an individual QMP command or a QMP transaction, the user
will receive a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE</span></code> event with a failure message,
accompanied by a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BLOCK_JOB_ERROR</span></code> event.</p>
<p>In the case of a job being cancelled, the user will receive a
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED</span></code> event instead of a pair of COMPLETE and ERROR
events.</p>
<p>In either failure case, the bitmap used for the failed operation is not
cleared. It will contain all of the dirty bits it did at the start of the
operation, plus any new bits that got marked during the operation.</p>
<p>Effectively, the “point in time” that a bitmap is recording differences
against is kept at the issuance of the last successful incremental backup,
instead of being moved forward to the start of this now-failed backup.</p>
<p>Once the underlying problem is addressed (e.g. more storage space is allocated
on the destination), the incremental backup command can be retried with the
same bitmap.</p>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id30">Example: Partial Transactional Failures</a><a class="headerlink" href="#example-partial-transactional-failures" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>QMP commands like <a class="reference external" href="qemu-qmp-ref.html#index-drive_002dbackup">drive-backup</a>
conceptually only start a job, and so transactions containing these commands
may succeed even if the job it created later fails. This might have surprising
interactions with notions of how a “transaction” ought to behave.</p>
<p>This distinction means that on occasion, a transaction containing such job
launching commands may appear to succeed and return success, but later
individual jobs associated with the transaction may fail. It is possible that
a management application may have to deal with a partial backup failure after
a “successful” transaction.</p>
<p>If multiple backup jobs are specified in a single transaction, if one of those
jobs fails, it will not interact with the other backup jobs in any way by
default. The job(s) that succeeded will clear the dirty bitmap associated with
the operation, but the job(s) that failed will not. It is therefore not safe
to delete any incremental backups that were created successfully in this
scenario, even though others failed.</p>
<p>This example illustrates a transaction with two backup jobs, where one fails
and one succeeds:</p>

<p>At the conclusion of the above example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drive0.inc0.qcow2</span></code> is valid and
must be kept, but <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drive1.inc0.qcow2</span></code> is incomplete and should be
deleted. If a VM-wide incremental backup of all drives at a point-in-time is
to be made, new backups for both drives will need to be made, taking into
account that a new incremental backup for drive0 needs to be based on top of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drive0.inc0.qcow2</span></code>.</p>
<p>For this example, an incremental backup for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drive0</span></code> was created, but not
for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drive1</span></code>. The last VM-wide crash-consistent backup that is available in
this case is the full backup:</p>
<div class="code text highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">full</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">&lt;--</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">inc0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive1</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">full</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To repair this, issue a new incremental backup across both drives. The result
will be backup chains that resemble the following:</p>
<div class="code text highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">full</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">&lt;--</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">inc0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">&lt;--</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">inc1</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive1</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">full</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">&lt;--------------------------</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">drive1</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">inc1</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">qcow2</span><span class="p">]</span>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id31">Example: Grouped Completion Mode</a><a class="headerlink" href="#example-grouped-completion-mode" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>While jobs launched by transactions normally complete or fail individually,
it’s possible to instruct them to complete or fail together as a group. QMP
transactions take an optional properties structure that can affect the
behavior of the transaction.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">completion-mode</span></code> transaction property can be either <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">individual</span></code>
which is the default legacy behavior described above, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">grouped</span></code>, detailed
below.</p>
<p>In <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">grouped</span></code> completion mode, no jobs will report success until all jobs are
ready to report success. If any job fails, all other jobs will be cancelled.</p>
<p>Regardless of if a participating incremental backup job failed or was
cancelled, their associated bitmaps will all be held at their existing
points-in-time, as in individual failure cases.</p>
<p>Here’s the same multi-drive backup scenario from <a class="reference internal" href="#example-partial-transactional-failures">Example: Partial
Transactional Failures</a>, but with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">grouped</span></code> completion-mode property
