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 jiyan 2017-12-13 03:50:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
2 VMs both with <shareable/> configured for same source image in usb bus can not start at the same time

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-3.9.0-6.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-820.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-12.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare 2 shutdown VM with the following configuration
# virsh domstate test1
shut off

# virsh domstate test2
shut off

# virsh dumpxml test1 --inactive|grep "<disk" -A6
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.5-x86_64-latest.img'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='usb'/>
      <shareable/>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='3'/>
    </disk>

# virsh dumpxml test2 --inactive|grep "<disk" -A6
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.5-x86_64-latest.img'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='usb'/>
      <shareable/>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='3'/>
    </disk>

2. Try to start 2 VMs
# virsh start test1
Domain test1 started

# ps -ef |grep test1 |sed 's/-device/\n-device/g'
qemu      4943     1  1 11:47 ?        00:00:01 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name guest=test1
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.5-x86_64-latest.img,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-usb-disk0,cache=none 
-device usb-storage,bus=usb.0,port=3,share-rw=on,drive=drive-usb-disk0,id=usb-disk0,bootindex=1,removable=off -netdev tap,fd=27,id=hostnet0

# virsh start test2

2017-12-13T03:14:35.670317Z qemu-kvm: -device usb-storage,bus=usb.0,port=3,share-rw=on,drive=drive-usb-disk0,id=usb-disk0,bootindex=1,removable=off: Failed to get shared "write" lock
Is another process using the image?

Actual results:
2 VMs both with <shareable/> configured for same source image in usb bus can not start at the same time, and while 'share-rw=on' already shows in the error info

Expected results:
2 VMs both with <shareable/> configured for same source image in usb bus can start at the same time

Additional info:
Under same condition with above, 2 VMs both with IDE bus or SCSI bus can work well.
Comment 3 Fam Zheng 2017-12-18 13:58:38 UTC 
There is a QEMU bug that doesn't handle the "share-rw=on" from the command line correctly. I'll send a patch to upstream.
Comment 5 Gu Nini 2017-12-19 10:05:04 UTC 
Failed to boot up 2 guests with 'share-rw=on' appeding on virtio scsi/block disks, so the bug is not must usb-storage related.

Comment 10 Miroslav Rezanina 2018-02-02 12:40:12 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-19.el7
Comment 12 Gu Nini 2018-02-08 08:34:04 UTC 
Verify the bug on following sw versions:

Host kernel: 3.10.0-843.el7.x86_64
Qemu-kvm-rhev: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-19.el7.x86_64


2 guests could boot up with the same raw disk image as usb storage disk with 'share-rw=on appended:

-drive id=drive_image2,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=/home/hd1.raw -device usb-storage,id=image2,drive=drive_image2,share-rw=on,bootindex=2,bus=usbtest.0 \
