Description jiyan 2018-08-17 05:57:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Detaching ('virsh detach-device-alias') shmem returns failure while actually succeeds in dumpxml of  VM

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-10.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-933.el7.x86_64
libvirt-4.5.0-6.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a shutdown VM without shmem conf and shmem.xml file
# virsh domstate test7.6
shut off

# virsh dumpxml test7.6 --inactive |grep shmem
No output

# cat shmem.xml 
    <shmem name='my_shmem0'>
      <model type='ivshmem-plain'/>
      <size unit='M'>4</size>
      <alias name='ua-8a97238f-0eb4-4e94-87bf-3e878b138749'/>
    </shmem>

2. Start VM and hot-plug shmem.xml to VM
# virsh start test7.6
Domain test7.6 started

# virsh attach-device test7.6 shmem.xml 
Device attached successfully

# virsh dumpxml test7.6 |grep shmem -A6
    <shmem name='my_shmem0'>
      <model type='ivshmem-plain'/>
      <size unit='M'>4</size>
      <alias name='ua-8a97238f-0eb4-4e94-87bf-3e878b138749'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
    </shmem>

3. Detach shmem from VM
# virsh detach-device-alias test7.6 ua-8a97238f-0eb4-4e94-87bf-3e878b138749
error: Failed to detach device with alias ua-8a97238f-0eb4-4e94-87bf-3e878b138749
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'object-del': object 'shmmem-ua-8a97238f-0eb4-4e94-87bf-3e878b138749' is in use, can not be deleted

# virsh dumpxml test7.6 |grep shmem -A6
No output

Actual result:
As step-3 shows

Expected result:
Once the virsh cmd returns failure, shmem xml conf should not disappear in dumpxml of VM

>>>>>>>> In Step-3, detaching the shmem device by 'virsh detach-device' can succeed

Device detached successfully

# virsh dumpxml test7.6 |grep "<shmem" -A6
No output

commit 69c20e1090059d8b359fdd435e8ba50db7269be1

    qemu: hotplug: Fix asynchronous unplug of 'shmem'
    
    commit 5c81c342a7 forgot to skip the detaching of the shmem backend
    when async unplug is requested which meant that we've tried to unplug
    the backend prior to delivery of the DEVICE_DELETED event.

Comment 6 Luyao Huang 2018-08-29 09:23:03 UTC
Verify this bug with libvirt-4.5.0-7.el7.x86_64:

1. prepare a running vm:

# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 31    vm1                            running

2. attach shmem device:

# virsh attach-device vm1 shmem.xml
Device attached successfully

3. detach it use detach-device-alias:

# virsh detach-device-alias vm1 ua-123
Device detach request sent successfully

4. recheck xml and cannot find device

# virsh dumpxml vm1 |grep ua-123
