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.

Fixed In Version: 2.4.0
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
Cause: drive-mirror internally expects buf-size to be a multiple of granularity. Consequence: If it was not, qemu would crash. Fix: buf-size will now be aligned automatically to granularity. Result: qemu no longer crashes when buf-size is not specified as a multiple of granularity.

Description Pei Zhang 2015-09-14 05:27:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
On src host, when doing block mirror to the remote NBD disk with granularity =8192 and buf-size=8193, qemu core dumped. 
If buf-size is power of 2, qemu works well. But if not, certain values(such as  8193,16385) will cause qemu core dumped.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host (src & des):
Kernel:3.10.0-315.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev:qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-22.el7.x86_64

Guest: Win10 32


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot guest on src host
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name win10_32_src -machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0,accel=kvm \
-cpu SandyBridge -m 4G,slots=256,maxmem=40G -numa node \
-smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 \
-uuid 82b1a01e-5f6c-4f5f-8d27-3855a74e6b6b \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=12:54:00:5c:88:6d \
-device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vgamem_mb=16 \
-spice port=5900,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,seamless-migration=on \
-monitor stdio \
-serial unix:/tmp/monitor,server,nowait \
-qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait \
-drive file=/home/win10_32.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-blk0,werror=stop,rerror=stop \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-blk0,id=virtio-blk0 \ 

2. boot guest(-incoming) on des host with a empty disk
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=0.10 /home/win10_32.qcow2 50G
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name win10_32_src -machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0,accel=kvm \
-cpu SandyBridge -m 4G,slots=256,maxmem=40G -numa node \
-smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 \
-uuid 82b1a01e-5f6c-4f5f-8d27-3855a74e6b6b \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=12:54:00:5c:88:6d \
-device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vgamem_mb=16 \
-spice port=5900,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,seamless-migration=on \
-monitor stdio \
-serial unix:/tmp/monitor,server,nowait \
-qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait \
-drive file=/home/win10_32.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-blk0,werror=stop,rerror=stop \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-blk0,id=virtio-blk0 \
-incoming tcp:0:6666 \

3. on des host, create NBD server, and export the empty disk
{ "execute": "nbd-server-start", "arguments": { "addr": { "type": "inet","data": { "host": "10.66.9.120", "port": "3333" } } } }
{ "execute": "nbd-server-add", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-blk0","writable": true } }

4. on src host, start mirroring to the remote NBD disk in step 3, with granularity =8192 and buf-size=8193
{"execute":"qmp_capabilities"}
{ "execute": "drive-mirror", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-blk0","target": "nbd://10.66.9.120:3333/drive-virtio-blk0", "sync": "full","format": "raw", "mode": "existing","granularity":8192,"buf-size":8193,"on-source-error":"report","on-target-error":"report" } }

5. on src host, qemu core dumped.
src:
(qemu) Segmentation fault (core dumped)

des:
(qemu) nbd.c:nbd_receive_request():L804: read failed


Actual results:
on src host, qemu core dumped.
(qemu) Segmentation fault (core dumped)


Expected results:
qemu works well, Or disallow user's command and promote error message, such as  'Parameter 'buf-size' expects power of 2' or something else.


Additional info:
"granularity":65536,"buf-size":8193     works well
"granularity":8192,"buf-size":10485760  works well
"granularity":8192,"buf-size":8193      fail

"granularity":8192,"buf-size":8191      works well
"granularity":8192,"buf-size":8192      works well
"granularity":8192,"buf-size":8973      fail
"granularity":8192,"buf-size":16384     works well
"granularity":8192,"buf-size":16385     fail

Comment 8 Qianqian Zhu 2017-03-09 05:43:23 UTC 
Reproduced with:
qemu-kvm-rhev-10:2.3.0-22.el7
kernel-3.10.0-315.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Launch guest on both source and destination:
Source: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name linux -cpu SandyBridge -m 2048 -drive file=/nfs/rhel74-64-virtio.qcow2,if=none,cache=writeback,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0  -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -monitor stdio
Destination: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name linux -cpu SandyBridge -m 2048 -drive file=/home/test,if=none,cache=writeback,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0  -qmp tcp:0:5556,server,nowait -monitor stdio -incoming tcp:0:6666

2. On destiantion, create NBD server, and export disk
{ "execute": "nbd-server-start", "arguments": { "addr": { "type":"inet","data": { "host": "10.66.8.124", "port": "3333" } } } }
{ "execute": "nbd-server-add", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0","writable": true } }

3. Start mirroring from soruce to the remote NBD disk in step 3, with granularity =8192 and buf-size=8193
{ "execute": "drive-mirror", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0","target": "nbd://10.66.8.124:3333/drive-virtio-disk0", "sync":"full","format": "raw", "mode": "existing","granularity":8192,"buf-size":8193,"on-source-error":"report","on-target-error":"report" } }

Result:
qemu core dump on source and read failed on destination:
Source: (qemu) Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Destination: (qemu) nbd.c:nbd_receive_request():L804: read failed


Verified with:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-5.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64

Steps:
Same as above.

Result:
Block mirror success.
