This applies any time a job is still running. --pivot makes sure that it
finishes after qemu reaches the correct point, but the intermediate
state is still potentially long-running.
Right, point is, at the time we're doing qemuProcessStop(), qemu is no
longer running -> we are restoring seclabels. No XATTR should be left
behind.
Also note that disk->mirror is only present for an active layer commit
job but not for regular commit jobs. Does this bug apply to those as
well?
Interesting question. Let me test. (testing, testing, testing). Oh yeah
it does. Looks like I'm going to need mimic the else branch from
qemuBlockJobEventProcessLegacyCompleted(). That is, I'll need
qemuBlockRemoveImageMetadata(driver, vm, disk->dst, disk->src); too.
It's harder to simulate that job though, but if qemu crashes
during the job exactly the same semantics as if --pivot was not used and
the VM was destroyed instead apply. We still relabelled some images.
Oh right. But that's basically the same thing. The only difference is
whether libvirt initiated qemu shutdown or not.
Also disk->mirror is present also for virDomainBlockCopy which this
commit message omits completely.
Okay, will mention it in v2.
You'll have to reformulate the commit message for this patch given that
you persuade me that checking disk->mirror is enough given the existence
of non-active jobs which don't populate disk->mirror.
