1540136 – storage volumes with backing store specified via JSON pseudo-protocol are not handled correctly in the storage driver

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 Peter Krempa 2018-01-30 10:50:41 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1540022 +++

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>

      <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

# virsh pool-refresh default
Pool default refreshed

3. dump vol xml of the image
# virsh vol-dumpxml --pool default http.img
<volume type='file'>
  <name>http.img</name>
  <key>/var/lib/libvirt/images/http.img</key>

Comment 2 yafu 2018-08-10 09:57:12 UTC

Also failed to to get vol info for json backing image via glusterfs protocal with multiple hosts.

Test steps:
1.Create a json backing image via glusterfs protocal with multiple hosts:
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 'json:{"file.driver":"gluster", "file.volume":"gluster-vol1", "file.path":"test.qcow2","file.server":[ { "type":"tcp", "host":"10.66.70.111", "port":"24007"}, { "type":"tcp", "host":"10.66.4.101", "port":"24007"},{ "type":"tcp", "host":"10.73.130.49", "port":"24007"}]}' /var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster_multi.img
Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/gluster_multi.img', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 backing_file=json:{"file.driver":"gluster",, "file.volume":"gluster-vol1",, "file.path":"test.qcow2",,"file.server":[ { "type":"tcp",, "host":"10.66.70.111",, "port":"24007"},, { "type":"tcp",, "host":"10.66.4.101",, "port":"24007"},,{ "type":"tcp",, "host":"10.73.130.49",, "port":"24007"}]} cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16

2.Refresh default pool:
#virsh vol-refresh default

3.# virsh vol-dumpxml gluster_multi.img default
error: cannot stat file 'json:{"file.driver":"gluster", "file.volume":"gluster-vol1", "file.path":"test.qcow2","file.server":[ { "type":"tcp", "host":"10.66.70.111", "port":"24007"}, { "type":"tcp", "host":"10.66.4.101", "port":"24007"},{ "type":"tcp", "host":"10.73.130.49", "port":"24007"}]}': File name too long

Reproduced steps:
1. Prepare a running dir storage pool:
# virsh pool-list

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

# virsh pool-refresh default
Pool default refreshed

3. dump vol xml of the image.
# virsh vol-dumpxml http.img default
