We were not directly saving the domain XML to file after starting
or finishing a blockcopy. Without the startup write, a libvirtd
restart in the middle of a copy job would forget that the job was
underway. Then at pivot, we were indirectly writing new XML in
reaction to events that occur as we stop and restart the guest CPUs.
But there was a race: since pivot is an async action, it is possible
that the guest is restarted before the pivot completes, so if XML
changes during the event, that change was not written. The original
blockcopy code cleared out the <mirror> element prior to restarting
the CPUs, but this is also a race, observed if a user does an async
pivot and a dumpxml before the event occurs. Furthermore, this race
will interfere with active commit, because that code relies on the
<mirror> element at the time of the qemu event to determine whether
to inform the user of a normal commit or an active commit.
Fix things by saving state any time we modify live XML, and by
delaying XML modifications until after the event completes. We
still need a solution for the case of libvirtd restarting in between
requesting qemu to do the pivot and the actual event (that is, if
libvirtd misses the event, but learns the job is complete thanks to
a block query, then the updated state still needs to be updated in
live XML), but that will be a later patch, in part because we want
to start taking advantage of newer qemu's ability to keep the job
around after completion rather than the current usage where the job
disappears both on error and on success.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCopy): Track XML change
on disk.
(qemuDomainBlockPivot): Move post-pivot XML rewrites...
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessHandleBlockJob): ...here,
and expand to cover case of persistent vm.
