Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Comment 2 David Gibson 2015-05-01 01:31:58 UTC 
Assigning to Thomas Huth, who already owns the original RHEL 7 bug.

This will probably need to be deferred, since it looks like an upstream fix will be necessary which is unlikely to be ready for the imminent RHEL 6.7.
Comment 5 Thomas Huth 2015-07-09 09:13:31 UTC 
Fix is now available upstream: http://git.qemu-project.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=73a652a1b08445e8d91e50cdbb2da50e571c61b3

Comment 7 weliao 2015-11-09 08:51:48 UTC 
Reproduce this bug using the following version:
Host:
3.10.0-324.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7.x86_64
Guest:
2.6.32-584.el6.x86_64
qemu-guest-agent-0.12.1.2-2.456.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a guest rhel6.7 with scsi hd system disk and data disk:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name bz1211973 -machine pc,accel=kvm,usb=off -m 4096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 8,sockets=1,cores=16,threads=8  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -drive file=/home/rhel67-64-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2 -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi1.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/home/hd-0414.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi1-0-2-0,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,discard=on -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi1.0,channel=0,scsi-id=2,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi1-0-2-0,id=scsi1-0-2-0 -drive file=/dev/sdb,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-3-0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,discard=on -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi1.0,channel=0,scsi-id=3,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-3-0,id=scsi0-0-3-0 -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/qemu.guest_agent.0,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0  -qmp tcp:0:6666,server,nowait -nodefaults -nodefconfig -spice port=5910,seamless-migration=on,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 -monitor stdio -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/ovs-ifup,downscript=/etc/ovs-ifdown -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,mac=52:54:00:c6:4b:15,id=test

2. In the guest, install and start guest agent; 'mkfs.ext4' and 'mount' the 2 data disks; write/remove some data on them

3. In the host, connect to the guest agent channel with cmd 'nc -U /tmp/qemu.guest_agent.0'

4. On above channel, execute guest agent cmd 'guest-fstrim' for 5 times:
{"execute":"guest-fstrim"}            
{"return": {}}
{"execute":"guest-fstrim"}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "failed to trim /media: Invalid argument"}}

Reproduce this issue with "qemu-guest-agent-0.12.1.2-2.465.el6.ppc64" on PowerPC,the fstrim cmd execution failed at 2nd time.

Version:
Host:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.3.ppc64le
kernel-3.10.0-327.4.1.el7.ppc64le
SLOF-20150313-5.gitc89b0df.el7.noarch

Guest:
kernel-2.6.32-548.el6.ppc64
qemu-guest-agent-0.12.1.2-2.465.el6.ppc64

Steps:
1.Create a qcow2 image disk and a scsi debug disk in the host:
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd-0414.qcow2 2G
# modprobe scsi_debug lbpu=1 lbpws=1 
# lsscsi 

2.Boot RHEL6.7 guest with spapr-vscsi as system disk and guest agent, and above 2 disks with 'discard=on' and as virtio-scsi hd/spapr-vscsi block on the backend:

3. In the guest, install and start the guest agent,and 'mkfs.ext4' and 'mount' the 2 data disks; write/remove some data on them.

4. In the host, connect to the guest agent with cmd 'nc -U /tmp/qemu.guest_agent.0'

5. On above channel, execute guest agent cmd 'guest-fstrim' for 5 times:
{"execute":"guest-fstrim"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute":"guest-fstrim"}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "failed to trim /boot: Invalid argument", "data": {"message": "failed to trim /boot: Invalid argument"}}}




Verify this issue with "qemu-guest-agent-0.12.1.2-2.481.el6.ppc64" on PowerPC,the fstrim cmd execution 10 times and all successful.
