Created attachment 1388151 [details]
The log of step3

Description of problem:
As subject

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-3.9.0-9.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-18.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a running dir storage pool:
# virsh pool-list 
 Name                 State      Autostart 
-------------------------------------------    
 default              active     no  

# virsh pool-dumpxml default               
<pool type='dir'>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid>03a38a8d-a7fc-4f6a-be13-b9c4b6935758</uuid>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>150297640960</capacity>
  <allocation unit='bytes'>108864774144</allocation>
  <available unit='bytes'>41432866816</available>
  <source>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path>
    <permissions>
      <mode>0711</mode>
      <owner>0</owner>
      <group>0</group>
      <label>system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0</label>
    </permissions>
  </target>
</pool>

2. Create a json backing image with http backend and refresh the pool
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 'json:{"file.driver":"http","file.url":"http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu-cd/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.5-alternate-amd64.iso"}' /var/lib/libvirt/images/http.img -o backing_fmt=raw
Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/http.img', fmt=qcow2 size=797966336 backing_file=json:{"file.driver":"http",,"file.url":"http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu-cd/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.5-alternate-amd64.iso"} backing_fmt=raw cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16

# virsh pool-refresh default
Pool default refreshed

3. dump vol xml of the image
# virsh vol-dumpxml http.img --pool default
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown


Actual results:
As step3

Expected results:
Dump the vol xml.

This is still wrong. I cloned this bug as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1540136 to track that part.
Comment 5 Peter Krempa 2018-01-30 12:02:23 UTC 
Failure to print the XML when the backing volume is described by JSON string or inacessible was fixed upstream:

commit b2c5f28a72465bf047311828c8c66112c8ca84e5 
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa>
Date:   Tue Jan 30 11:41:59 2018 +0100

    storage: util: Properly ignore errors when backing volume is inaccessible
    
    Commit 000e9504559 tried to fix improper bracketing when refreshing disk
    volume stats for a backing volume. Unfortunately the condition is still
    wrong as in cases as the backing store being inaccessible
    storageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo returns -2 if instructed to ignore
    errors. The condition does not take this into account.
    
    Dumping XML of a volume which has inacessible backing store would then
    result into:
    
     # virsh vol-dumpxml http.img --pool default
     error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
    
    Properly ignore -2 for backing volumes.
