Description Angel 2017-01-07 00:22:51 UTC
Description of problem: 
4K virtual drives broken on Windows with virtio-win-0.1-104 and greater. Versions previous to virtio-winl-0.1-104 work fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4K virtual drives fail to format on Windows with virtio-winl-0.1-104 and greater. Versions previous to virtio-winl-0.1-104 work fine.


How reproducible:
Configure a 4K sector virtio virtual data disk and attempt to format it in any windows guest that supports 4K sector data disks i.e W2K12R2, Windows 10.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify virtual disk as 4K logical and physical sector size in XML
2. Start windows guest
3. Attempt to use the 4K sector disk by first formatting it.

Actual results:
Format fails on 4K sector drives.

Expected results:
Format 4K drives.

Additional info:
The problem is viostor stores the wrong value in the driver extension for the last lba. The driver returns the correct value for last LBA in the read capacity request but inappropriately uses this same value in I/O request bounds checking. As a result, windows fails in formating 4K sector drives.

QE tried on win8-32 and win2012R2 guests,can NOT reproduce this issue on virtio-win-1.9.0-3.el7.noarch(the blk driver is build126),I can format the data disks correctly.

Could you try with build126?

We currently use virtio-win-0.1.96-1 and know it works with 4K drives. We were considering using build126 when we discovered the problem. Build126 will not work with 4K drives.

I can reproduce your issue on a *new fresh installed* image,with build126,the disk can NOT format completely.

If downgrade the driver to build100,then upgrade to 126 again,the disk can be format successfully,I guess this is the reason why I did not reproduce in comment#1.

Thanks Angel.

Try on win2012R2 guest with virtio-win-prewhql-130,disks can be formatted correctly with 4k logical_block_size.

So this issue has been fixed already
