Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
virDomainBlockCopy cannot get a right flag when use libvirt_virDomainBlockCopy
(although cannot use virDomainBlockCopy in 1.2.8,but we can use upstream libvirt-1.2.9 to reproduce this issue or use gdb to reproduce this issue with libvirt-1.2.8-5.el7)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.8-5.el7
libvirt-python-1.2.8-4.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.# cat blockcopy.py
import libvirt
import sys
con = libvirt.open()
domain = con.lookupByName(sys.argv[1])
print domain.blockCopy("hda","<disk type='file' device='disk'><driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/><source file='/tmp/test3.img'/></disk>",flags=0)
2.# gdb python
(gdb) br virDomainBlockCopy
Function "virDomainBlockCopy" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (virDomainBlockCopy) pending.
(gdb) r blockcopy.py test3
Breakpoint 1, virDomainBlockCopy (dom=dom@entry=0x7559b0,
disk=0x7ffff7eda2fc "hda",
destxml=0x7ffff7f8fb04 "<disk type='file' device='disk'><driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/><source file='/tmp/test3.img'/></disk>", params=0x0,
nparams=0, flags=32767) at libvirt.c:20069
(gdb) p flags
$1 = 32767
3.
Actual results:
Although we give flags=0
but flags always be 32767(or another value) this will make this function cannot work well with libvirt-1.2.9 and we will get error like:
unsupported flags (0x7f6c) in function qemuDomainBlockCopy
Expected results:
(gdb) p flags
$1 = 0
Additional info:
When use blockCopy, flags cannot get a right value, because
PyArg_ParseTuple want to get 6 parameters and blockCopy only
pass 5.So flags cannot get a right value:
in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py +637
637 def blockCopy(self, disk, destxml, params=None, flags=0):
638 """Copy the guest-visible contents of a disk image to a new file described by destxml """
639 ret = libvirtmod.virDomainBlockCopy(self._o, disk, destxml, params, flags)
640 if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainBlockCopy() failed', dom=self)
641 return ret
642
in /usr/src/debug/libvirt-python-1.2.8/libvirt-override.c +8111
8111 if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, (char *) "Ozz|Oi:virDomainBlockCopy",
8112 &pyobj_dom, &disk, &destxml, &pyobj_dict, ¶ms ,
8113 &flags))
8114 return VIR_PY_INT_FAIL;
Flags will get a unpredictable value, this will make
this function cannot be used.And error just like:
unsupported flags (0x7f6c) in function qemuDomainBlockCopy
I have send my patch to upstream:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-October/msg00575.html
