RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. 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). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Amos Kong 2013-11-04 06:45:59 UTC 
Description of problem:

{ 'execute': 'query-command-line-options', 'arguments': { 'option': 'drive' } }

{
    "return": [
       	{
            "parameters": [
            ],
            "option": "drive"
        }
    ]
}


Currently we have three QemuOptsList (qemu_common_drive_opts,
qemu_legacy_drive_opts, and qemu_drive_opts)

only qemu_drive_opts is added to vm_config_groups[]

We query commandline options by checking information in vm_config_groups[],
so we can only get a NULL parameter list now.

Another issue is we also can't query legacy options of -drive.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-9.el7


Steps to Reproduce:
1. execute qmp command to query -drive option

{ 'execute': 'query-command-line-options', 'arguments': { 'option': 'drive' } }

Actual results:
returns a NULL parameter

Expected results:
all parameter items will be returned.
Comment 2 Eric Blake 2013-11-13 15:18:50 UTC 
Libvirt is relying on the query-command-line-options for deciding whether to support drive discard options.
Comment 3 Osier Yang 2013-12-06 06:42:56 UTC 
Is the patch in qemu.git master now? except the drive discard, there are other 3 capability flags depended on query-command-line-options. So we would like see the patch could be backported as soon as possible.
