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: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.14
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
During the block-stream job of a live merge operation, the QEMU process in some cases became unresponsive. This update improves the handling of block jobs, which ensures that QEMU stays responsive during block-stream jobs as expected.

Comment 3 Miroslav Rezanina 2016-05-16 10:17:19 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.14
Comment 5 Qianqian Zhu 2016-05-23 06:03:34 UTC 
Reproduced with:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.11.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-401.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Launch guest:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -drive file=/home/RHEL-Server-7.3-64-virtio.raw,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -vnc :1 -monitor stdio -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=3C:D9:2B:09:AB:44,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -drive file=/home/disk1,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=qcow2,serial=531fa1b1-fbd0-42ca-9f6b-cf764c91f8a9,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -drive file=/home/disk2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk2,format=qcow2,serial=19644ad4-fe32-4b12-8bfb-d75a16fec85a,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0xa,drive=drive-virtio-disk2,id=virtio-disk2 -drive file=/home/disk3,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk3,format=qcow2,serial=f105f1cc-ab59-4c62-a465-e3ef33886c17,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0xb,drive=drive-virtio-disk3,id=virtio-disk3 -drive file=/home/disk0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk4,format=qcow2,serial=f8ebfb39-2ac6-4b87-b193-4204d1854edc,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0xc,drive=drive-virtio-disk4,id=virtio-disk4

2. Generate snapshots with transaction:
{ "execute": "transaction", "arguments": { "actions": [ { 'type': 'blockdev-snapshot-sync', 'data' : { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0",
"snapshot-file": "/home/disk0-sn1", "format": "qcow2" } }, { 'type': 'blockdev-snapshot-sync', 'data' : { "device": "drive-virtio-disk1", "snapshot-file": "/home/disk1-sn1", "format": "qcow2" } }, { 'type': 'blockdev-snapshot-sync', 'data' : { "device": "drive-virtio-disk2", "snapshot-file": "/home/disk2-sn1", "format": "qcow2" } },{ 'type': 'blockdev-snapshot-sync', 'data' : { "device": "drive-virtio-disk3",
"snapshot-file": "/home/disk3-sn1", "format": "qcow2" } }, { 'type': 'blockdev-snapshot-sync', 'data' : { "device": "drive-virtio-disk4", "snapshot-file": "/home/disk4-sn1", "format": "qcow2" } }] } }

3. block stream simultaneously:
{ "execute": "block-stream", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "on-error": "report" } }
{"return": {}}
{ "execute": "block-stream", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk1", "on-error": "report" } }
{"return": {}}

Result:
qemu hangs for a while until all block job complete.


Verified with:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.14.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-401.el7.x86_64

Steps:
Same as above.

Results:
qemu does not hang, later job could finished before previous job, and info block could give correct information before all block job complete.
