<disk type="file" device="disk">
  <driver name="qemu" type="raw" ats="on" packed="on"/>
  <source file="/var/lib/libvirt/images/1" index="1"/>
  <backingStore/>
  <target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/>
  <serial>test</serial>
  <alias name="virtio-disk0"/>
  <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x07" function="0x0"/>
</disk>
...

2. Check the serial in VM by lsblk:
[root@localhost lshw]# lsblk /dev/vda -o name,serial
NAME          SERIAL
vda           test
├─vda1        
└─vda2        
  ├─rhel-root 
  └─rhel-swap

3. Get the serial by lshw:
# lshw|grep test

The upstream doesn't response to the patch for a long time. Since the bug is not a serious one. So I will close the bug as won't fix. Feel free to reopen it if you think the bug should be fixed. Thanks!
