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 xiagao 2022-02-23 04:30:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
Start a shared directory with guest, in guest start virtiofs.exe and try to access the mounted volume(z:), but failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-6.2.0-8.el9.x86_64
virtiofsd-1.1.0-3.el9.x86_64
kernel-5.14.0-54.kpq0.el9.x86_64
RHEL-9.0.0-20220205.d.3
virtio-win-prewhql-215/216

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start virtiofsd with '--no-killpriv-v2' option
[# /usr/libexec/virtiofsd  --socket-path=/tmp/sock1 -o source=/home/test -o cache=none --log-level debug --no-killpriv-v2
[2022-02-22T15:19:51Z INFO  virtiofsd] Waiting for vhost-user socket connection...

2. start win2019 guest
-chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/sock1 \
-device vhost-user-fs-pci,chardev=char0,tag=myfs,queue-size=1024 \
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4G,mem-path=/dev/shm,share=on \
-numa node,memdev=mem \

3. start virtiofs.exe in guest,z: is assigned.
virtiofs.exe -d -1 -D C:\log2.txt

4. try to access to this volume


Actual results:
Can't enter to z:, the shared volume doesn't work.(see attachment)

Virtiofs.exe log is in the attachment

Expected results:
shared dir works well.

I set test blocker as it blocks the function test on Windows guests on the new virtiofsd.

Thanks,
Xiaoling
Comment 9 Sergio Lopez 2022-03-10 07:03:00 UTC 
I've tested the Windows driver with virtiofsd (Rust) and identified the following issues:

1. The Windows driver relies on the "len" field of used descriptors. As the Linux driver doesn't, virtiofsd doesn't bother to set it up. This needs to be fixed in virtiofsd.

2. The Windows driver, under some circumstances, calls to OPENDIR with O_RDWR. This is invalid and should be fixed in the Windows driver. To speed things up, I can make a downstream-only patch to work around this issue in virtiofsd.

3. The Windows driver pushes all requests through HIPRIO_QUEUE. This queue should only be used for FUSE_INTERRUPT, FUSE_FORGET, and FUSE_BATCH_FORGET. While this works with the current (v1.1.0) version of virtiofsd, it will not work with future versions. This needs to be fixed in the Windows driver.

I suggest the following Action Plan:

1. Reassign this BZ (or a clone of it) to virtiofsd so I can make a new release of virtiofsd with a fix for (1) and a work around for (2).

2. Create BZs for virtio-win to address (2) and (3), targeting RHEL 9.1.

BTW, there's no need to pass "--no-killpriv-v2" to the daemon. If the client is found to not support KILLPRIV_V2, the feature is automatically disabled. The message in the log is just a warning.

Sergio.

Thanks Sergio.
I change this BZ to virtiofsd.

Clone a new BZ for virtio-win.
