Hello Cole, one issue is found:
The qcow2 data file XTTRs is not cleaned on external snapshot when
-blockdev is not enabled
Versions:
libvirt v5.8.0-134-g9d03e9adf1
qemu-kvm-4.1.0-13.module+el8.1.0+4313+ef76ec61.x86_64
Steps:
1. Convert a OS image to qcow2&qcow2 data file:
# qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -o
data_file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/pc-data.raw,data_file_raw=on
/var/lib/libvirt/images/pc.qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/pc-data.qcow2
2. Build and start libvirt source, start libvirt daemon:
# make clean && CC=/usr/lib64/ccache/cc ./autogen.sh&&./configure
--without-libssh --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu

3. Define and start an VM with the qcow2&qcow2 data file. Note that the
-blockdev is not enabled
# virsh define pc-data.xml
# virsh start pc-data
4. Create snapshot and check the data file XATTRs:
# virsh snapshot-create-as pc-data s1 --no-metadata --disk-only
# getfattr -m - -d /var/lib/libvirt/images/pc-data.raw
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: var/lib/libvirt/images/pc-data.raw
security.selinux="unconfined_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c775,c1011"
trusted.libvirt.security.dac="+107:+107"
trusted.libvirt.security.ref_dac="1"
trusted.libvirt.security.ref_selinux="1"
trusted.libvirt.security.selinux="unconfined_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c284,c367"
trusted.libvirt.security.timestamp_dac="1563328069"
trusted.libvirt.security.timestamp_selinux="1563328069"
Shutdown the VM. The XATTRs of data file is not changed.
It is not expected. The XTTRs should not contain *.libvirt.*
Issue is not reproduced with -blockdev enabled:
<domain type='kvm'
xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
...
<qemu:capabilities>
<qemu:add capability='blockdev'/>
<qemu:del capability='drive'/>
</qemu:capabilities>
</domain>
See the libvirt daemon log and vm xml in attachment.
Nice catch! I will need to dig into this to figure out where the issue
is. Can you put this info into an upstream bug report in
product=Virtualization Tools and I will get to it when I can
Thanks,
Cole
