Description Jan Kurik 2014-07-24 12:18:37 UTC

This bug has been copied from bug #1061827 and has been proposed
to be backported to 7.0 z-stream (EUS).

Comment 8 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-09-12 07:59:54 UTC

Moving to qemu-kvm component as we track 7.0.z qemu-kvm-rhev with it. qemu-kvm-rhev component is used for 7.1 and newer only.

Comment 10 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-09-29 14:00:41 UTC

Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.10

Comment 12 Shaolong Hu 2014-09-30 06:42:30 UTC

Verify with qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-60.el7_0.10.x86_64:

1. test "backing-file" option of block stream:

with Base->sn1->sn2->sn3:

absolute path:

{ "execute": "block-stream", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "base": "/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2", "speed": 1000000000,  "backing-file": "/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2"} }

info block:

(qemu) info block
drive-virtio-disk0: removable=0 io-status=ok file=/root/sn3 backing_file=/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2 backing_file_depth=1 ro=0 drv=qcow2 encrypted=0 bps=0 bps_rd=0 bps_wr=0 iops=0 iops_rd=0 iops_wr=0

relative path:

{ "execute": "block-stream", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "base": "/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2", "speed": 1000000000,  "backing-file": "./nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2"} }

(qemu) info block
drive-virtio-disk0: removable=0 io-status=ok file=/root/sn3 backing_file=./nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2 backing_file_depth=1 ro=0 drv=qcow2 encrypted=0 bps=0 bps_rd=0 bps_wr=0 iops=0 iops_rd=0 iops_wr=0


2. test "backing-file" option of block commit:

with Base->sn1->sn2->sn3:

absolute path:

{ "execute": "block-commit", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "base": "/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2", "top": "/root/sn2", "speed": 1000000000, "backing-file": "/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2"} }

(qemu) info block
drive-virtio-disk0: removable=0 io-status=ok file=/root/sn3 backing_file=/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2 backing_file_depth=1 ro=0 drv=qcow2 encrypted=0 bps=0 bps_rd=0 bps_wr=0 iops=0 iops_rd=0 iops_wr=0

relative path:

{ "execute": "block-commit", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "base": "/root/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2", "top": "/root/sn2", "speed": 1000000000, "backing-file": "./nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2"} }

(qemu) info block
drive-virtio-disk0: removable=0 io-status=ok file=/root/sn3 backing_file=./nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2 backing_file_depth=1 ro=0 drv=qcow2 encrypted=0 bps=0 bps_rd=0 bps_wr=0 iops=0 iops_rd=0 iops_wr=0

3. the NULL function "__com.redhat_change-backing-file":

{ "execute": "__com.redhat_change-backing-file", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "image-node-name": "123",  "backing-file": "./nfs/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2"} }
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "this feature or command is not currently supported"}}


Verified.
