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 2016-05-31 09:57:02 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently there is no alias for burst_length used in qemu-kvm command line, while there are ones for the burst, such as bps_max, iops_max etc; however, there are similar ones in qmp for the burst_length already, i.e. bps_max_length, iops_max_length etc. So suggest to add the alias in qemu-kvm command. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel: 3.10.0-406.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-4.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a guest with burst length:

# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name rhel7.3 -enable-kvm -m 4G -smp 4 -uuid ae361e8d-288b-4e70-8783-bda0d450ce38 -nodefconfig --nodefaults -boot order=cd,menu=on -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio_scsi_pci0,bus=pci.0,addr=03 -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,cache=none,snapshot=off,aio=native,format=qcow2,file=/home/rhel7.3 -device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bootindex=0 -drive file=/home/kvm_autotest_root/iso/linux/RHEL-7.2-20151030.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso,media=cdrom,id=cdrom,if=none -device ide-drive,drive=cdrom,bootindex=1 -vnc 0.0.0.0:14 -monitor stdio -netdev tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:52:5a:30:2e:61,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -drive id=drive_image2,if=none,cache=none,snapshot=off,aio=native,format=qcow2,file=/home/disk1,**bps=102400,bps_max=512000,throttling.bps-total-max-length=10** -device scsi-hd,id=image2,drive=drive_image2 -chardev socket,id=qmpmonitor1,path=/tmp/monitor1,server,nowait -mon chardev=qmpmonitor1,mode=control -vga cirrus

2. After the guest boots up, check iothrottling status in qmp:

# nc -U /tmp/monitor1

{"execute":"qmp_capabilities"}
{"return": {}}
{"execute":"query-block"}

3. Quit the guest and try to restart it with burst_length in the style as that in qmp, i.e. **bps=102400,bps_max=512000,bps_max_length=10** 


Actual results:
In step3, it's a failure to start the guest

Expected results:

The aliases are legacy options.  They exist for compatibility.  Please use throttling.*-max-length.
