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 Yang Yang 2016-05-17 09:10:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Drive mirror with option granularity fails on qemu-2.6. It cannot be reproduced on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.5.0-4.el7.x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mirror with granularity option
{ "execute": "drive-mirror", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-blk0","target": "mirror0", "sync": "full","format": "raw", "mode": "absolute-paths","granularity":8192} }
{"return": {}}

{"timestamp": {"seconds": 1463468322, "microseconds": 946118}, "event": "BLOCK_JOB_ERROR", "data": {"device": "drive-virtio-blk0", "operation": "write", "action": "report"}}

{"timestamp": {"seconds": 1463468323, "microseconds": 75441}, "event": "BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED", "data": {"device": "drive-virtio-blk0", "len": 3408723968, "offset": 10551296, "speed": 0, "type": "mirror", "error": "Invalid argument"}}

{"timestamp": {"seconds": 1463468423, "microseconds": 303307}, "event": "SHUTDOWN"}

Actual results:
Mirror with option granularity fail

Expected results:
Mirror with option granularity pass

    mirror: Rewrite mirror_iteration


...Which is fairly large change. Will investigate a fix, I am still not fully clear on the root problem -- something beneath paio_submit is returning -EINVAL from some point, so we're probably passing something incorrect to 
bdrv_aio_readv / blk_aio_preadv, I'd guess.

Odd to me that it gets so far down the chain before EINVAL gets bubbled back up, though.

Comment 3 Qianqian Zhu 2016-06-16 07:21:54 UTC
Meet same issue on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-6.el7.x86_64.
According to my test, specify 'buf-size' together with 'granularity' mirroring could accomplish successfully, while mirror with only 'granularity' qemu will core dump for 100%.

Comment 4 John Snow 2016-06-22 19:18:53 UTC
Max helped identify that this is a problem with us exceeding MAX_IOV, which has happened to use before: cae98cb87d269c33d23b2bccd79bb8d99a60d811

Fixes en route.

Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-13.el7

Comment 8 Qianqian Zhu 2016-07-28 10:14:04 UTC
Verified with:

Steps:
1. Launch guest:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name linux -cpu SandyBridge -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 7bef3814-631a-48bb-bae8-2b1de75f7a13 -nodefaults -monitor stdio -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot order=c,menu=on -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -drive file=/nfs/RHEL-Server-7.3-64-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 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -msg timestamp=on -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.revision=3 -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=0x3 -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait

2. Mirror with granularity:
{ "execute": "drive-mirror", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0","target": "mirror0", "sync": "full","format": "raw", "mode": "absolute-paths","granularity":8192}}

3. Reopen to the new mirror image:
{"execute": "block-job-complete", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk0"}}

Results:
Block mirror succeed, without any error.

Step 2:
{"timestamp": {"seconds": 1469700262, "microseconds": 460010}, "event": "BLOCK_JOB_READY", "data": {"device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "len": 8180924416, "offset": 8180924416, "speed": 0, "type": "mirror"}}

Step 3:
{"timestamp": {"seconds": 1469700464, "microseconds": 509785}, "event": "BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED", "data": {"device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "len": 8180924416, "offset": 8180924416, "speed": 0, "type": "mirror"}}
