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.

Accessing Red Hat Gluster Storage over *libgfapi* on KVM guests fails When using a KVM guest virtual machine, accessing Red Hat Gluster Storage with the *libgfapi* service, for example by running the "qemu-img" or "qemu-systems-x86_64" command on the host machine, fails with an `invalid argument` error. There is currently no known workaround.

Description of problem:
As subject.

Version-Release number of selected component:
glusterfs-3.7.9-10.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-13.el7.x86_64
libvirt-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a glusterfs server
2. Start a VM whose image is based on the glusterfs server
# cat run.xml
```
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>
<source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1/c18468.qcow2'>
<host name='10.66.4.164'/>
</source>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
</disk>
```
# virsh create run.xml --console

Qemu will get SIGABRT after VM load its kernel

Comment 3 Jeff Cody 2016-07-27 23:02:16 UTC 
This appears to be an issue in the gluster library.

When I use library version 3.7.1-16.el7, everything works fine.

With gluster library version 3.7.9-10.el7, I get the same error message reported.

When trying 3.7.9-11.el7, I get even more errors:

Comment 5 Prasanna Kumar Kalever 2016-08-17 17:36:02 UTC 
This is actually a bug in libgfapi, it was side effect for neglecting count in glfs_io struct. If we go into the details, glfs_buf_copy actually assembles all iovecs to a iovec with count=1 and since the gio->count is not updated it dereference invalid addresses.

This bug was fixed by http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14859/
And went in gluster 3.7.13 release.
Comment 6 Prasanna Kumar Kalever 2016-08-18 08:15:23 UTC 
In comment 5,  I missed to mention about http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14779/

This bug needs two patches actually

Cause:
It was side effect for 
1. neglecting count in glfs_io struct, i.e. gio->count is not updated, hence it
dereference invalid addresses. (http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14859/)
2. In all async ops such as write, fsync, ftruncate expect for read the value for "iovec" was NULL, hence glfs_io_async_cbk checks the value in common routine which may end up in failures. (http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14779/)

Consequence:
we see dereferencing of invalid addresses while performing fops, hence using qemu-img and qemu-system-x86_64 will not behave as expected meaning when qemu block driver invoke glfs api's we see 'iovec [Invalid argument]', may cause the hang or failure.

Fix:
This bug needs two patches
http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14779/ (BZ#1350880)
http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14859/ (BZ#1352482)

Both of them went in gluster 3.7.13 release.
Comment 7 Prasanna Kumar Kalever 2016-08-22 15:13:03 UTC 
Jiri Herrmann,

Please specify "access through libgfapi", as the issue doesn't exist with FUSE, NFS etc.

Something like "Accessing gluster storage over libgfapi with Qemu fails" could be better.
Comment 8 Atin Mukherjee 2016-08-23 09:31:14 UTC 
Based on comment 6, moving the BZ to POST
Comment 10 Han Han 2016-08-25 06:32:15 UTC 
The bug is solved. I tested as comment1. No problem.

Comment 12 SATHEESARAN 2016-08-30 10:41:19 UTC 
Tested with RHEL 7.3 and RHGS 3.1.3 async build ( glusterfs-3.7.9-12.el7rhgs on server and glusterfs-3.7.9-12.el7 on hypervisor )

With qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-22.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-img-2.6.0-22.el7.x86_64

1.  Create a image using qemu-img ( with format - raw and qcow2 )
2.  Installed RHEL 7 on that VM
3.  Also attached additional disks from the gluster volume and partitioned the disks. 
4. Formatted the parition with XFS

All works well
