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 Gu Nini 2015-02-13 08:49:11 UTC
Description of problem:
After hot add a spapr-vscsi hard disk, it could not be detected inside the guest; but after reboot the guest, it can be detected and used

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host kernel: 3.10.53-2020.1.pkvm2_1_1.49.ppc64
Guest kernel: 3.10.0-227.el7.ppc64/3.10.0-223.ael7b.ppc64le

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a guest as follows with 2 spapr-vscsi controller:

/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -name spaprqcow-0205 -machine pseries-2.2,accel=kvm,usb=off -m 32768 -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 -realtime mlock=off -uuid 95346a10-1828-403a-a610-ac5a52a29442 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/spaprqcow-0205.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc,clock=host -no-shutdown -boot strict=on -device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci -device spapr-vscsi,id=scsi0,reg=0x1000 -device spapr-vscsi,id=scsi1,reg=0x6000 -drive file=/media/nfs/spaprqcow-0205,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=none -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/media/ngu-nfs/iso/RHEL-7.1-20150129.0-Server-ppc64-dvd1.iso,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw,cache=none -device scsi-cd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=1,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-1-0,id=scsi0-0-1-0,bootindex=2 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown -device spapr-vlan,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:c4:e7:42,reg=0x2000 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device spapr-vty,chardev=charserial0,reg=0x30000000 -device usb-kbd,id=input0 -device usb-mouse,id=input1 -device usb-tablet,id=input2 -vnc 0:02 -device VGA,id=video0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -object rng-random,id=rng0,filename=/dev/random -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,max-bytes=1234,period=2000,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -msg timestamp=on

2. Connect to its qmp with cmd 'nc -U /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/spaprqcow-0205.monitor' in another host terminal
3. Issue qmp command: {"execute":"qmp_capabilities"}
4. Issue following qmp command in sequence to hot add a spapr-vscsi disk to controller 1, where there is not any disk till now:
{ "execute": "blockdev-add",
"arguments": { "options" : {
"id": "scsi1-0-0-0",
"driver": "raw",
"file": { "driver": "file",
"filename": "/media/nfs/hd-1-02132015" } } } }

{"execute":"device_add","arguments":{"driver":"scsi-hd","drive":"scsi1-0-0-0","id":"scsi1-0-0-0"}}
5. Check the new added disk with qmp cmd: {"execute":"query-block"}; and inside the guest check it with cmd 'll /dev/sd*'
6. Host add another spapr-vscsi disk to controller 0, where there are already two disks till now, as steps 4 do
7. Check the new added disk as step 5 do


Actual results:
In steps 5 and 7, the new added scsi disks could be detected from qmp cmd {"execute":"query-block"} output, but couldn't inside the guest; however, after reboot the guest, the two hot added disks were detected inside the guest

Expected results:
Hot added disks could be detected without guest system reboot

Additional info:
'ppc64-diag-2.6.7-6.el7.ppc64'/'ppc64-diag-2.6.7-6.ael7b.ppc64le' has been installed on the guest by default

Unlike virtio-scsi, spapr relies on the 'default' hotplug handler which is a no-op that basically requires a reboot for the device to get detected. Spapr is not intended to be fully-featured or high-performing. We will not fix this.

Comment 4 David Gibson 2015-02-25 05:38:45 UTC
Right, so basically, hotplug is not supported onto the spapr-vscsi bus.

PAPR does support hotplugging of entire spapr-vscsi controllers, but this is not yet implemented, and I don't think there are immediate plans to do so.

Gu Nini, where's the best place for us to document this so QE doesn't try to test this?

Comment 6 David Gibson 2015-03-02 05:01:14 UTC
Miya, thanks, will do.
