In subject, please remove 'Simulate blockjob --abort' and replace it
e.g. with: 'remove image metadata for running mirror jobs' or something
similar, because this patch does not really do anything with the job
itself.

If user starts a blockcommit without --pivot then we modify
access for qemu on both images and leave it like that until
pivot is executed. So far so good. Problem is, if user instead
of issuing pivot calls destroy on the domain. In this case we
don't ever clear the access we granted at the beginning.

This applies any time a job is still running. --pivot makes sure that it
finishes after qemu reaches the correct point, but the intermediate
state is still potentially long-running.

Right, point is, at the time we're doing qemuProcessStop(), qemu is no longer running -> we are restoring seclabels. No XATTR should be left behind.


Also note that disk->mirror is only present for an active layer commit
job but not for regular commit jobs. Does this bug apply to those as
well?

Interesting question. Let me test. (testing, testing, testing). Oh yeah it does. Looks like I'm going to need mimic the else branch from qemuBlockJobEventProcessLegacyCompleted(). That is, I'll need qemuBlockRemoveImageMetadata(driver, vm, disk->dst, disk->src); too.


It's harder to simulate that job though, but if qemu crashes
during the job exactly the same semantics as if --pivot was not used and
the VM was destroyed instead apply. We still relabelled some images.

Oh right. But that's basically the same thing. The only difference is whether libvirt initiated qemu shutdown or not.


Also disk->mirror is present also for virDomainBlockCopy which this
commit message omits completely.

Okay, will mention it in v2.


You'll have to reformulate the commit message for this patch given that
you persuade me that checking disk->mirror is enough given the existence
of non-active jobs which don't populate disk->mirror.
