[PATCH v1 1/1] qemu_hotplug.c: assert disk->info.alias unique before hotplug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In a case where we want to hotplug the following disk:

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
    (...)
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>

In a QEMU guest that has a single OS disk, as follows:

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
    (...)
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>

What happens is that the existing guest disk will receive the ID
'scsi0-0-0-0' due to how Libvirt calculate the alias based on
the address in qemu_alias.c, qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias. When hotplugging
a disk that happens to have the same address, Libvirt will calculate
the same ID to it and attempt to device_add. QEMU will refuse it:

$ virsh attach-device dhb hp-disk-dup.xml
error: Failed to attach device from hp-disk-dup.xml
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Duplicate ID 'scsi0-0-0-0' for device

And Libvirt follows it up with a cleanup code in qemuDomainAttachDiskGeneric
that ends up removing what supposedly is a faulty hotplugged disk but, in
this case, ends up being the original guest disk. This happens because Libvirt
doesn't differentiate the error received by QMP device_add.

An argument can be made for how QMP device_add should provide a different
error code for this scenario. A quicker way to solve the problem is
presented in this patch: let us check the generated alias against the
aliases already presented in the disks in the VM definition. If a match
happens, error out without calling device_add.

After this patch, this is the result of the previous attach-device call:

$ ./run tools/virsh attach-device dhb ~/hp-disk-dup.xml
[sudo] password for danielhb:
error: Failed to attach device from /home/danielhb/hp-disk-dup.xml
error: operation failed: attached disk conflicts with existing device id 'scsi0-0-0-0'
