Description aihua liang 2017-05-04 11:58:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
 When set "physical/logical block size" to "4096_512", wrong block size displayed in guest

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel version:3.10.0-657.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev version:qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start win2012 guest with physical/logical block size set to "4096_512", qemu cmds as bellow:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
-sandbox off  \
-machine pc \
-nodefaults  \
-vga std  \
-chardev socket,id=qmp_id_qmpmonitor1,path=/var/tmp/monitor-qmpmonitor1-20170124-161452-WcepYpO8,server,nowait \
-mon chardev=qmp_id_qmpmonitor1,mode=control  \
-chardev socket,id=qmp_id_catch_monitor,path=/var/tmp/monitor-catch_monitor-20170124-161452-WcepYpO8,server,nowait \
-mon chardev=qmp_id_catch_monitor,mode=control \
-device pvpanic,ioport=0x505,id=idqap0h5  \
-chardev socket,id=serial_id_serial0,path=/var/tmp/serial-serial0-20170124-161452-WcepYpO8,server,nowait \

-drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=on,aio=native,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/win2012-64r2-virtio.qcow2 \
-device virtio-blk-pci,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bus=pci.0 \
-drive id=data_image1,if=none,snapshot=on,aio=native,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=/home/test.qcow2 \
-device virtio-blk-pci,id=data1,drive=data_image1,bus=pci.0,physical_block_size=4096,logical_block_size=512 \
-device virtio-net-pci,mac=9a:b2:b3:b4:b5:b6,id=iduCv1Ln,vectors=4,netdev=idKgexFk,bus=pci.0,addr=05  \

-rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew  \
-boot order=cdn,menu=on,strict=off \
-enable-kvm \
-monitor stdio \
-spice ipv4,port=5000,disable-ticketing \
   
2.Check block size in guest via "powershell 'get-disk|format-list'"

Actual results:
 Wrong block size displayed in guest.
   ......
   LogicalSectorSize:512
   PhysicalSectorSize:512
   ......

Expected results:
   ......
   LogicalSectorSize:512
   PhysicalSectorSize:4096
   ......

Additional info:
   It's a regression bug.
   
 Test on rhel7.4, it works ok.
Comment 2 Xueqiang Wei 2017-05-04 12:42:52 UTC 
Tested with virtio-scsi not hit this issue, so it only occurred on virtio-blk.

cmd:
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,bus=pci.0 \
-drive file=/home/scsi/disk2.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,media=disk,werror=stop,rerror=stop \
-device scsi-hd,bus=scsi1.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-scsi-pci1,physical_block_size=4096,logical_block_size=512 \


kernel-3.10.0-656.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-2.el7.x86_64
guest: win10 x86_64
Comment 3 aihua liang 2017-05-05 07:21:02 UTC 
Additional info：
   Test on win10 guest with virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-136.iso, the same issue also exist.
   
   Test on RHEL7.4 guest(kernel version：3.10.0-648.el7.x86_64), not hit this problem.

Hi aliang,

Could this issue duplicate to this one Bug 1428641 - [virtio-win][viostor]Windows guest's physical block size change to "512" after installation with the size "4096"?

Thanks~

I'm not sure it has the same root cause with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1428641.

In this bug, i test the data disk and in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1428641, i test the system disk.

So i think if their root cause is the same, it can be tagged as "duplicated".
