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).

Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.10.2-8.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Libvirt allows users to cancel an ongoing migration. Previously, if an attempt to cancel the migration was made in the migration preparation phase, qemu missed the request and the migration was not canceled. With this update, the virDomainAbortJob() function sets a flag when a cancel request is made and this flag is checked before the main phase of the migration starts. As a result, a migration can now be properly canceled even in the preparation phase.

Description of problem:

I cancelled migration of a vm right after it started and migration continued.
Michal looked at the logs and determined that vdsm isued 'migrate_cancel' before libvirt gets to 'migrate' 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

vdsm-4.9.6-41.0.el6_3.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.5.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.5.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. migrate a vm from one host to a second host 
2. cancel migration right at the beginning of the migration
3.
  
Actual results:

migration continues

Expected results:

migration should be cancelled.

Comment 1 Michal Privoznik 2012-11-06 17:47:04 UTC
This is race. The first thread (the one that starts migration) sets job and is preparing to issue monitor commands to qemu. However, meanwhile second thread jumps in and since the job is already set, it cancels the job, issue 'migrate_cancel' and quit. Right after the first thread finished preparation and starts the migration (executes 'migrate' on the monitor).

Comment 2 Jiri Denemark 2012-11-06 18:21:53 UTC
This is also tracked upstream in bug 728904.

domjobabort return 0 but migration continued
