2. Create backup target node

    {'execute':'blockdev-add','arguments':{'driver':'file','node-name':'drive_sn$i','filename':'/root/sn$i'}}

    {'execute':'job-dismiss','arguments':{'id':'job1'}}
    {'execute':'job-dismiss','arguments':{'id':'job2'}}

3.Do backup with x-perf option
   {"execute": "blockdev-backup", "arguments": {"device": "drive_image1","job-id": "j1", "sync": "full", "target": "sn1","x-perf":{"use-copy-range":true,"max-workers":4294967296,"max-chunk":4294967296}}}

--- Additional comment from aihua liang on 2021-09-30 08:56:23 UTC ---

qemu-kvm-6.0.0-30.module+el8.5.0+12586+476da3e1 also hit this issue.

Comment 1 aihua liang 2021-09-30 10:44:36 UTC
Test Env in RHEL9:
  kernel version:5.14.0-3.el9.x86_64
  qemu-kvm version:qemu-kvm-6.1.0-2.el9

Comment 2 Stefano Garzarella 2021-10-05 15:11:29 UTC
(In reply to aihua liang from comment #0)

The problem is an integer overflow related to the `max-workers` parameter:

> 3.Do backup with x-perf option
>    {"execute": "blockdev-backup", "arguments": {"device":
> "drive_image1","job-id": "j1", "sync": "full", "target":
> "sn1","x-perf":{"use-copy-range":true,"max-workers":4294967296,"max-chunk":
> 4294967296}}}

QAPI generates a structure and store `max-workers` value in an `int64_t` variable, while in the code (block/aio_task.c - max_busy_tasks) an `int` is used.
So the maximum right value should be INT_MAX (2147483647).

I'll send a patch adding a check for that with an error message.

@aliang Can you check that everything is okay by using `max-workers` values up to 2147483647?
I did a quick check and it looks okay in my environment if `max-workers` is between 1 and 2147483647.

Comment 3 Stefano Garzarella 2021-10-05 16:19:31 UTC
Fixes posted upstream: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-10/msg00934.html

Comment 4 aihua liang 2021-10-08 03:28:53 UTC
Test backup with following max-workers value, all works ok.
    "max-workers":2147483647,"max-chunk":2147483647
    "max-workers":65536,"max-chunk":65536
    "max-workers":1,"max-chunk":1048576
    "max-workers":1,"max-chunk":0

So it works ok between 1 and 2147483647.

Comment 5 Stefano Garzarella 2021-10-14 08:19:07 UTC
Fix merged upstream: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/8fc898ce0b3e7fea8c7c2a8d8977f2a9b77ecebf

Test with qemu-kvm-6.2.0-1.el9, don't hit this issue any more.
