Description Lee Yarwood 2014-10-12 13:01:17 EDT
1. Proposed title of this feature request  
[RFE] Allow the libgfapi logging level to be controlled.
  
2. Who is the customer behind the request?  
N/A - GSS are requesting this feature.
  
3. What is the nature and description of the request?  
 
The logging level of libgfapi is currently hard coded within QEMU as LOG_WARNING. It would be useful to allow control of this via a command line argument to ease debugging of any Gluster related issues.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) 

Ease debugging, remove the need to recompile QEMU to increase the logging level etc. 
  
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  

A simple QEMU argument able to control the logging level.

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  

Ensure that the level provided is reflected in the logs.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  

No.

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  
 
Both RHEL 6 and RHEL 7.

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  

N/A.

10. List any affected packages or components.  

qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-rhev

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?  

Yes GSS will be able to test this.

Hi Prasanna,

Could you have a look the comment6

when I boot with debug option, error occor

 could not open disk image gluster://gluster-virt-qe-01.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com:0/distdata01/shuang.raw: Block format 'raw' used by device 'drive_image2' doesn't support the option 'debug'

Thanks
Suqin
Comment 8 Jeff Cody 2017-02-28 07:49:21 EST
Hi Suqin,

You need to use file.debug= rather than just debug= (so that you are talking to the underlying file protocol rather than the image format driver).

So for your example, that would be:

-drive id=drive_image2,if=none,cache=none,file=gluster://gluster-virt-qe-01.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com:0/distdata01/shuang.raw,file.debug=0
Comment 9 Suqin Huang 2017-03-03 03:42:17 EST
Hi Jeff,

I saw this cmd in the patch " +#define GLUSTER_DEBUG_MAX 9"

but I can boot guest with any num, is it acceptable ?

e.g
file.debug=-1
file.debug=12

Thanks
Suqin

Hi Suqin,

Yes, that is the intended behavior.  That max is just internal code, that will cap any number passed to that maximum.  So if you pass 12, that will be capped internally to 9 when passing it to gluster.

Comment 12 Suqin Huang 2017-03-23 02:46:01 EDT
1. Reproduce on version:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-126.el7.x86_64


boot guest with
-drive id=drive_image2,if=none,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=gluster://bootp-73-130-253.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com/gv0/stg1.qcow2,file.debug=1

error:
qemu-kvm: -drive id=drive_image2,if=none,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=gluster://gluster-virt-qe-01.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com/distdata01/stg.qcow2,file.debug=0: could not open disk image gluster://gluster-virt-qe-01.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com/distdata01/stg.qcow2: Block protocol 'gluster' doesn't support the option 'debug'


2. Verified on version:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-134.el7.x86_64

boot up guest successfully with debug level (0~9) and debug=12, debug=-1

-drive id=drive_image2,if=none,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=gluster://bootp-73-130-253.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com/gv0/stg1.qcow2,file.debug=1
