Sorry for disturbing you on the working time, but I really need your help. I met a problem when I do the virtualization test on the environment of (Host: RHEL6.4GA. Guest: RHEL6.4GA) and it seems to have relationship with your patch of "util: Prepare helpers for unpriv_sgio setting".
Never mind, it's the bug I produced. :(
I added a disk to virtio-scsi bus through the VM's XML file like this: <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' io='threads'/> <source dev='/mnt/test.raw'/> <target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/> <shareable/> </disk>
Then when I started the VM, I met the error. [root@build SOURCES]# virsh start pan64ga error: Failed to start domain pan64ga error: Unable to get minor number of device '/mnt/test.raw': Invalid argument
[root@build SOURCES]#
I tried other source files and other way of using if and I found: 1). If we use the files which format is raw, qed and qcow2 as the disk this error occur again. 2). If we use partition(such as /dev/sdb1) or whole disk(such as /dev/sdb) this error doesn't occur. 3). If we delete the "<shareable/>" then files, partition and disk all can be used correctly.
And I investigate the error msg. it is returned by qemuGetSharedDiskKey fuction. char * qemuGetSharedDiskKey(const char *disk_path) { ... // error occur here. return value is -22 if ((rc = virGetDeviceID(disk_path, &maj, &min)) < 0) { virReportSystemError(-rc, _("Unable to get minor number of device '%s'"), disk_path); return NULL; } ... }
Go on the virGetDeviceID fuction: int virGetDeviceID(const char *path, int *maj, int *min) { ...
if (!S_ISBLK(sb.st_mode)) { VIR_FREE(canonical_path); return -EINVAL; // error occur here and it return -22 } ... }
So the error occur place is "S_ISBLK(sb.st_mode)" and I tried compiled the libvirt with these lines deleted and the error didn't happen again. Also I checked the disk if VM and it worked well. I found this fuction virGetDeviceID is come from your patch of "util: Prepare helpers for unpriv_sgio setting". But I am not familiar with libvirt. So I have to consult with you about whether this "S_ISBLK" check is vital and If we can delete it or find out some method to avoid this error so we can use the file as shared disk in VM.
It's fixd by https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-February/msg01024.html, which is already committed to upstream, and backported to 6.4.z. You will see the fix in the new build, which will come soon.

Any opinions on should we validate whether the disk type and the specified source matches? Just realized that validating when parsing doesn't make sense, because the validation can imply the checking of whether the disk source existing or not, however, for a inactive domain, it's normal that its disk source may not existing. So the only way to do the validation is inside driver. But does it imply we will have regression if doing so? As yuxh said, the guest can actually be started successfully with block disk has a plain file source, not sure if it's expected result of qemu though.

I think we are safe arguing that most users have not mixed type='block' with non-block files. The fact that it previously worked was a bug in our level of validation; since we did not document that it should work, I'm okay if we keep the new behavior of erroring out when a file is not a block device. A nicer error than 'Unable to get minor number of device '/mnt/test.raw':' would be appropriate, but I don't think that we are introducing too much of a regression by rejecting an unusual combination that was never documented to work. Still, just to be safe, I'd like to get DV or danpb's opinion. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
