Maybe it's OK for stable. Libvirt REALLY wants to use transaction bitmap management (and require qemu 4.2) for its incremental backup patches that Peter is almost ready to merge in. I'm trying to ascertain: When exactly can this bug hit? Can you give a sequence of QMP commands that will trigger it for easy reproduction? Are there workarounds (such as checking that a bitmap exists prior to attempting to remove it)? If it does NOT get fixed in rc5, how will libvirt be able to probe whether the fix is in place? > > block/qcow2-bitmap.c | 9 ++++++--- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/block/qcow2-bitmap.c b/block/qcow2-bitmap.c > index 8abaf632fc..c6c8ebbe89 100644 > --- a/block/qcow2-bitmap.c > +++ b/block/qcow2-bitmap.c > @@ -1469,8 +1469,10 @@ int coroutine_fn qcow2_co_remove_persistent_dirty_bitmap(BlockDriverState *bs, > Qcow2BitmapList *bm_list; > > if (s->nb_bitmaps == 0) { > - /* Absence of the bitmap is not an error: see explanation above > - * bdrv_remove_persistent_dirty_bitmap() definition. */ > + /* > + * Absence of the bitmap is not an error: see explanation above > + * bdrv_co_remove_persistent_dirty_bitmap() definition. > + */ > return 0; > } > > @@ -1485,7 +1487,8 @@ int coroutine_fn qcow2_co_remove_persistent_dirty_bitmap(BlockDriverState *bs, > > bm = find_bitmap_by_name(bm_list, name); > if (bm == NULL) { > - ret = -EINVAL; > + /* Absence of the bitmap is not an error, see above. */ > + ret = 0; > goto out; > } > > -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org

[libvirt] Offline manipulation of Dirty Bitmaps by qemu-img
by John Snow 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

This has come up in the past, and I believe we discussed this at KVM Forum, too: There have been requests from oVirt (via Nir Soffer) to add some offline bitmap manipulation functionality. In the past, our stance has generally been "Use QEMU without an accelerator, and use QMP to manipulate the images." We like this for a few reasons: 1. It keeps bitmap management code tightly centralized 2. It allows for the full suite of bitmap manipulations in either offline or online mode with one tool 3. We wouldn't have to write new code. 4. Or design new CLIs and duplicate our existing work. 5. Or write even more tests. However, tools like oVirt may or may not be fully equipped to launch QEMU in this context, and there is always a desire for qemu-img to be able to "do more", so existing management suites could extend functionality more easily. (Or so I am imagining.) I am still leaning heavily against adding any more CLI commands or options to qemu-img right now. Even if we do add some of the fundamental ones like "add" or "remove", it seems only a matter of time before we have to add "clear", "merge", etc. Is this just a race to code duplication? On the other hand, one of the other suggestions is to have qemu-img check --repair optionally delete corrupted bitmaps. I kind of like this idea: it's a buyer beware operation that might make management layers unhappy, but then again ... repair is always something that could make things worse. Plus, if you manage to corrupt bitmaps badly enough that they can't even be parsed, you might need a heavyweight repair operation. Nir, do you think that'd be sufficient for your needs for now, or would you still like to see more granular offline management? --js

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: remove nested branching to enhance readability
by Pavel Mores 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

This is a follow-up to patch series posted in https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-November/msg01180.html It implements a suggestion made by Cole in https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-November/msg01207.html and discussed in follow-up messages as there were no objections to the change. The aim is to make the code more readable by replacing nested branching with a flat structure.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Introduce VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_TLS_DESTINATION migration param
by Jiri Denemark 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Normally the TLS certificate from the destination host must match the host's name for TLS verification to succeed. When the certificate does not match the destination hostname and the expected cetificate's hostname is known, this parameter can be used to pass this expected hostname when starting the migration.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Remove deprecated pc-0.x machine types and related hacks
by Thomas Huth 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

These have been on the deprecation list since a year now, so it's time to finally remove the pc-0.x machine types. We then can also remove some compatibility hacks in the devices, i.e. the "use_broken_id" in ac97 and "command_serr_enable" in PCI devices. Note that there is also the "rombar" property of the PCI devices which is now not required for the x86 machine types anymore. But it seems to me like this is still used by various people to bypass the ROM loading for PCI devices in certain cases, so I did not remove that property here yet.
