Description Jan Kurik 2016-01-13 09:06:02 UTC 
This bug has been copied from bug #1232914 and has been proposed
to be backported to 7.2 z-stream (EUS).
Comment 4 Fam Zheng 2016-01-19 09:12:48 UTC 
To verify the bug, QE should test the blockdev-mirror command, which is introduced as a fix to this bug.

The command is going to be used in conjunction with blockdev-add.

Generally, all the existing drive-mirror cases apply to blockdev-mirror. In particular, what is wanted in this BZ is enabling zero detection feature by specifying "detect-zeroes=unmap" to the target image. The QMP pseudo command lines are:

    # blockdev-add {'options': {'node-name': 'target0', 'driver': 'raw',
    'detect-zeroes': 'unmap', 'file': {'driver': 'file', 'filename':
    '/var/tmp/dest'}}}

    blockdev-mirror {'device': 'd0', 'target': 'target0', 'sync': 'full'}
Comment 5 Peter Krempa 2016-02-04 16:48:13 UTC 
blockdev-add can't be used by libvirt upstream at this point. I've noted this in the parent BZ. Moving back to ASSIGNED to track backport of the new required patches.
Comment 6 Ademar Reis 2016-02-26 16:54:36 UTC 
We're withdrawing this from the z-stream because the fix is more complex than we anticipated. It'll be fixed in 7.3, but not in the z-stream (see bug #1232914).
