Description Longxiang Lyu 2020-03-23 07:18:41 UTC
Description of problem:
qemu-img convert failed to convert with block device as target

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.18.0-175.el8.x86_64
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-15.module+el8.2.0+6029+618ef2ec

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

# qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 rhel820-64-virtio-scsi.raw /dev/autotest/image1
qemu-img: Protocol driver 'host_device' does not support image creation

Actual results:
conversion to lv failed

Expected results:
conversion to lv should finish without error

Tried with the last qemu package, there is no the issue. So set 'regression', and update the priority to High.


# qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 base.img /dev/vgtt/image1 -p
    (100.00/100%)

# qemu-img --version
qemu-img version 4.2.0 (qemu-kvm-4.2.0-14.module+el8.2.0+5995+d02a4eeb)

Note:
The target LV is based on loop device, created as below:
# qemu-img create -f raw loop.img 50G
# losetup -f loop.img
# pvcreate /dev/loop3
# vgcreate vgtt /dev/loop3 
# lvcreate -L 30G -n image1 vgtt

This breaks RHV. Bumped severity.

Comment 6 Maxim Levitsky 2020-03-26 08:32:39 UTC
I had sent an upstream patch that should fix this.
Tested to make sure that affected block drivers can still create images,
and tested that reproducer from this bug doesn't reproduce it anymore

Tried to verify this bug as below, covert works fine now. Set this bug as verified then.


Tested with:
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-17.module+el8.2.0+6129+b14d477b
kernel-4.18.0-190.3.el8.x86_64


Steps:
1. Get info of source image.
# qemu-img info rhel820-64-virtio-scsi.raw
image: rhel820-64-virtio-scsi.raw
file format: raw
virtual size: 20 GiB (21474836480 bytes)
disk size: 20 GiB

2. Setup LV based on loop device.
# qemu-img create -f raw loop.img 50G
# losetup -f loop.img
# pvcreate /dev/loop1 vgtt
# vgcreate vgtt /dev/loop1
# lvcreate -L 25G -n target vgtt

3. Convert
# qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 rhel820-64-virtio-scsi.raw /dev/vgtt/target -p
    (100.00/100%)
