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.

libvirtd log

Description of problem:
As subject

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-6.0.0-7.el9.x86_64
libvirt-7.4.0-1.el9.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a vm with local storage

2. Pre-create the disk image on target host manually
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-x86_64.qcow2 10G

# qemu-img info /var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-x86_64.qcow2 -U
image: /var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-x86_64.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 196 KiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    compression type: zlib
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false
    extended l2: false


2. Migrate vm with --copy-storage-inc
# virsh migrate avocado-vt-vm1 qemu+ssh://******/system --live --verbose --copy-storage-inc

3. Check the disk image on dest host, found its size is small
# qemu-img info /var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-x86_64.qcow2 -U
image: /var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-x86_64.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 5.01 MiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    compression type: zlib
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false
    extended l2: false

4. Try to login to vm on dest host, failed

5. Check libvirtd.log, can't find blockdev-add 



Actual results:
As description


Expected results:
Disk should be copied during migration when --copy-storage-inc is used


Additional info:
Can't reproduce with --copy-storage-all

The qmp log of src and dest hosts

Reproduced on libvirt-7.4.0-1.el9.x86_64 qemu-kvm-6.0.0-4.el9.x86_64.
See the qmp log files generated by qemu-monitor.stp.

Comment 3 Peter Krempa 2021-07-02 11:58:59 UTC
The problem happens because a wrong constant was used in the logic expression which is used to determine whether storage migration needs to take place.

The original condition is:

bool storageMigration = flags & (VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK | QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC);

The correct one is:

bool storageMigration = flags & (VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK | VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC);

QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC equals to 0x04
VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC equals to 0x80

    qemu: migration: Use correct flag constant for enabling storage migration
    
    The 'storageMigration' flag is supposed to be true if storage migration
    is requested, which is based on VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK or
    VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC flags. The assignment to the variable used
    QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC (0x04) instead of
    VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC (0x80), caused libvirtd to skip the actual
    copy of data.

Test on libvirt v7.5.0-97-g133d05a15e and qemu-6.0.0-1.fc35.x86_64 as comment0. PASS

Comment 9 Han Han 2021-08-23 02:43:40 UTC
Verified on libvirt-7.6.0-2.el9.x86_64 qemu-kvm-6.0.0-12.el9.x86_64:
1. Prepare a nbd based on an image with OS
2. Create backing file of nbd on both hosts
# qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/backing.qcow2 
image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/backing.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 26 MiB
cluster_size: 65536
backing file: json:{"file":{"driver":"nbd","server":{"type":"inet","host":"10.0.150.247","port":"10809"}}}
backing file format: qcow2
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    compression type: zlib
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false
    extended l2: false

3. Refresh the storage pool of backing image

4. Start a VM with backing image. Finish migration with --copy-storage-inc
# virsh migrate fedora34 qemu+ssh://root.150.247/system --live --verbose --copy-storage-inc
Migration: [100 %]

5. Login the VM and write some data to the disk
# dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=10M count=10
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
104857600 bytes (105 MB, 100 MiB) copied, 2.77315 s, 37.8 MB/s

No I/O error.
