Description Sibiao Luo 2013-11-19 10:46:38 UTC

Description of problem:
boot a guest with 'snapshot=on' for the disk(w/r) using libiscsi backend, and dd some data to the disk, but then it fail commit snapshot to its backing_file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
3.10.0-50.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64
seabios-1.7.2.2-4.el7.x86_64
guest info:
rhel6.5 32bit

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a guest with 'snapshot=on' for the disk(w/r) using libiscsi backend.
e.g:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M q35 -S -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection...-drive file=iscsi://10.66.90.100/iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-0971f7d03-1dff49b26885073d-s2-sluo-172259/0,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,snapshot=on -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x7,scsi=off,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk -iscsi id=iqn1
2.dd some data to the disk in guest.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vdb bs=1M count=1000
3.commit the change of snapshot to its backing_file.
(qemu) info block
...
drive-data-disk: removable=0 io-status=ok file=/tmp/vl.hkWWRW backing_file=iscsi://10.66.90.100/iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-0971f7d03-1dff49b26885073d-s2-sluo-172259/0 backing_file_depth=1 ro=0 drv=qcow2 encrypted=0 bps=0 bps_rd=0 bps_wr=0 iops=0 iops_rd=0 iops_wr=0
(qemu) commit drive-data-disk

Actual results:
after step 3, fail commit snapshot to its backing_file(w/r) with 'snapshot=on' for the disk using libiscsi backend.
(qemu) commit drive-data-disk
'commit' error for 'drive-data-disk': Permission denied

Expected results:
it should commit successfully.

Also tried to using the iSCSI LUN directly that did not meet such issue.
e.g:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M q35 -S -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection...-drive file=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.66.90.100:3260-iscsi-iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-0971f7d03-1dff49b26885073d-s2-sluo-172259-lun-0,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,snapshot=on -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x7,scsi=off,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk
