We shouldn't access the domain definition while we are in the monitor section as the domain is unlocked. Additionaly after we exit from the monitor we need to check if the VM is still alive. Not doing so resulted into crash if qemu exits while attempting to do a external VM snapshot. --- Notes: Version 1 was reported to break locking of a VM but withoit enough data to reproduce/trace. Version 2: - changed some of the conditions so that proper cleanup paths are taken - fixed returned error value in case the job can't be entered src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 66bbde9..e6f180c 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -12550,7 +12550,8 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, virDomainDiskDefPtr disk, virDomainDiskDefPtr persistDisk, virJSONValuePtr actions, - bool reuse) + bool reuse, + enum qemuDomainAsyncJob asyncJob) { qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr priv = vm->privateData; char *device = NULL; @@ -12605,8 +12606,25 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, /* create the actual snapshot */ if (snap->format) formatStr = virStorageFileFormatTypeToString(snap->format); + + /* The monitor is only accessed if qemu doesn't support transactions. + * Otherwise the following monitor command only constructs the command. + */ + if (!actions && + qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorAsync(driver, vm, asyncJob) < 0) + goto cleanup; + ret = qemuMonitorDiskSnapshot(priv->mon, actions, device, source, formatStr, reuse); + if (!actions) { + qemuDomainObjExitMonitor(driver, vm); + if (!virDomainObjIsActive(vm)) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("Domain crashed while taking the snapshot")); + ret = -1; + } + } + virDomainAuditDisk(vm, disk->src, source, "snapshot", ret >= 0); if (ret < 0) goto cleanup; @@ -12712,9 +12730,6 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, * Based on earlier qemuDomainSnapshotPrepare, all * disks in this list are now either SNAPSHOT_NO, or * SNAPSHOT_EXTERNAL with a valid file name and qcow2 format. */ - if (qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorAsync(driver, vm, asyncJob) < 0) - goto cleanup; - for (i = 0; i < snap->def->ndisks; i++) { virDomainDiskDefPtr persistDisk = NULL; @@ -12724,24 +12739,36 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, int indx = virDomainDiskIndexByName(vm->newDef, vm->def->disks[i]->dst, false); - if (indx >= 0) { + if (indx >= 0) persistDisk = vm->newDef->disks[indx]; - persist = true; - } } ret = qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive(driver, vm, &snap->def->disks[i], vm->def->disks[i], persistDisk, actions, - reuse); + reuse, asyncJob); if (ret < 0) break; } if (actions) { - if (ret == 0) - ret = qemuMonitorTransaction(priv->mon, actions); + if (ret == 0) { + if (qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorAsync(driver, vm, asyncJob) == 0) { + ret = qemuMonitorTransaction(priv->mon, actions); + qemuDomainObjExitMonitor(driver, vm); + if (!virDomainObjIsActive(vm)) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("domain crashed while taking the snapshot")); + ret = -1; + } + } else { + /* failed to enter monitor, clean stuff up and quit */ + ret = -1; + } + } + virJSONValueFree(actions); + if (ret < 0) { /* Transaction failed; undo the changes to vm. */ bool need_unlink = !(flags & VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REUSE_EXT); @@ -12755,8 +12782,11 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, int indx = virDomainDiskIndexByName(vm->newDef, vm->def->disks[i]->dst, false); - if (indx >= 0) + if (indx >= 0) { persistDisk = vm->newDef->disks[indx]; + persist = true; + } + } qemuDomainSnapshotUndoSingleDiskActive(driver, vm, @@ -12767,7 +12797,6 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, } } } - qemuDomainObjExitMonitor(driver, vm); cleanup: -- 1.8.5.3
