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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0746 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE qemu-kvm bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 19:31:48 UTC

Description Paolo Bonzini 2011-09-20 14:13:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
Fedora 16 always locks media, and relies on eject request events to invoke the unlock/eject sequence from udev.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1-191.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a Fedora 16 netinst image with an additional, empty CD-ROM
2. Try to change the CD-ROM from the monitor.
  
Actual results:
The "change" command does not work.

Expected results:
??? No idea, can we get the "change" command to work at all since it relies on a non-forced "eject" to work, and "eject" cannot be done with guest help???

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2011-09-20 14:23:55 UTC 
Forgot to mention that eject requests are in fact completely unimplemented by QEMU.  Should be doable with Markus's revamp of locked state upstream, but still the doubt on how to make atomic "change" work remains.
Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2011-09-20 16:24:17 UTC 
More info at http://lwn.net/Articles/423619/

Kay, how does this behavior of udev-172 work exactly, when there are no async events and polling is disabled?

$ cat /sys/block/sr0/events_async 
$ cat /sys/block/sr0/events
media_change eject_request
$ cat /sys/block/sr0/events_poll_msecs 
-1
$ cat /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs 
0
Comment 4 Kay Sievers 2011-09-20 22:14:04 UTC 
It relies on a recent kernel, polling will be enabled
by default by udev rules:
  # grep . /sys/module/block/parameters/*
  2000
Comment 5 Paolo Bonzini 2011-09-21 08:56:40 UTC 
> polling will be enabled by default by udev rules:

Apparently this doesn't work when booting the rescue image.  Cloning the bug.
Comment 6 Dor Laor 2011-09-21 13:19:22 UTC 
It probably coalesced with other cdrom bugs Markus have on his queue
Comment 8 Markus Armbruster 2011-11-25 12:38:41 UTC 
Paolo fixed it upstream, reassigning.

1.reproduce this bug with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.192.el6.x86_64

reproduce steps:
1.1) install fedora16 guest
1.2) boot guest 
  /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm  -M rhel6.2.0 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 -name rhel6.2 -uuid 9a2fcf21-04e9-3737-6c3c-85011ce1a90c -nodefconfig -nodefaults -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -boot order=n,menu=off -drive file=/home/fedora16.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -device virtio-net-pci,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:c7:c4:6d,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -spice disable-ticketing,port=5914 -vga qxl -monitor stdio  -cdrom /home/test-cdrom.raw

1.3) info block
  (qemu) info block
drive-virtio-disk0: type=hd removable=0 file=/home/fedora16.qcow2 ro=0 drv=qcow2 encrypted=0
ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 file=/home/test-cdrom.raw ro=1 drv=raw encrypted=0 

1.4) (qemu) change ide1-cd0 /home/rhev-hypervisor.iso

actual result:
Device 'ide1-cd0' is locked

2.verify bug with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.221.el6.x86_64

verify steps:
2.1 repeat step 1.2
2.2 repeat step 1.3
2.3 repeat step 1.4

actual result:
change work well 

base on above result, this bug is fixed.
