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 Sibiao Luo 2012-12-20 10:13:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
the disk block sizes are multiple of 512 bytes, but if specify the value of virtio_blk/scsi-hd/scsi-disk disk is not multiple of 512 bytes, it cause the guest call trace for virtio_blk and qemu core dump for scsi-hd/scsi-disk. I think that's insufferable for users, maybe the qemu should give some prompts or forbit it. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-348.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.346.el6.x86_64
guest info:
# uname -r
2.6.32-348.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
- for scsi-hd/disk
1.boot guest.
e.g:...-drive file=/home/my-data-disk.raw,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-data-disk,bus=scsi0.0,id=data-disk,physical_block_size=1000,logical_block_size=1000

- for virtio-blk.
1.boot guest.
e.g:...-drive file=/home/my-data-disk.raw,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,scsi=off,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,physical_block_size=1000,logical_block_size=1000

Actual results:
- for scsi-hd/disk
after step 1, the qemu will core dump.

- for virtio-blk.
after step 1, the guest will call trace, i will attach the log later.

Expected results:
no any call trace/dump, the qemu should give some prompts or forbit it.

guest call trace logs.
Comment 2 juzhang 2012-12-20 10:22:16 UTC 
Seems physical_block_size and logical_block_siz only can be set 512 or 4096. A little aggressive.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-24 06:47:31 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 5 Paolo Bonzini 2013-01-09 13:44:31 UTC 
Assigning to Stefan, he did the upstream patch.  Are these in the whitelist though?
Comment 6 Stefan Hajnoczi 2013-01-22 10:48:48 UTC 
Thanks Paolo and sorry for the late response.

Here's the error message we get upstream:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=test.img,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,scsi=off,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,physical_block_size=1000,logical_block_size=1000

Let's backport the fix for RHEL 6.5.

Addtional info:
1)I also tried  virtio-blk and ide-drive.Also can give error info:
...

2)Also test other values ,can give error info.
...physical_block_size=2000,logical_block_size=2000...
...physical_block_size=3000,logical_block_size=3000...

According to above test ,this bug fixed.
