Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The libvirt python bindings for querying block job status were not distinguishing between an error and no status available. Consequence: Code that was polling for the completion of a block job had to deal with a python exception, and could not distinguish it from an actual error. Fix: The bindings now return an empty dictionary when there is no job and no error in determining that fact. Result: The binding can be used more reliably in managing block jobs.

Comment 7 Jincheng Miao 2013-12-12 03:10:29 UTC
In previous version like libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6.1,
Libvirt python API will None, and raise a exception:
# python 
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep  4 2013, 07:46:00) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import libvirt
>>> con=libvirt.open(None)
>>> dom=con.lookupByName('r6')
>>> dom.blockJobInfo('hda', 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1826, in blockJobInfo
    if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() failed', dom=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() failed

This NoneType return is fixed in libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.2:
# python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep  4 2013, 07:46:00) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import libvirt
>>> con=libvirt.open(None)
>>> dom=con.lookupByName('r6')
>>> dom.blockJobInfo('hda', 0)
{}

So I change the status to VERIFIED.
