One has to refresh the pool to get the correct pool info, this
patch refreshes the pool after creating a volume in code instead.
Pool refreshing failure is fine to ignore with a warning.

I don't want to say NACK just like that, but I think the bug indicates
there's a problem in the storage driver. It should automatically
reflect the changes made to that pool.
That's the thing I mentioned long time ago. Using things like inotify
to update the pool's info (though inotify doesn't work for all pool
types, such as iscsi).
What's the structure that gets
updated only with refresh and not after the vol is created?
Can you explain more about this? I guess you mean the vol is
created outside of libvirt? such as a iscsi target create a new
LUN?
Does it do
with all the drivers?
Not sure what do you mean for "drivers". But I guess you mean
"storage backends" here? if so, yes. All the current storage backends
support "refreshPool"/
Long story short; I think this bug fixes the symptom, not the problem.
As said above, you have a right opinion. The pool should be notified
asynchronously, but it's thing I don't have enough time to do currently.
