Hello Markus,

I finally managed to reproduce the problem, at least once ...

The scenario was:
dd if=/dev/vdx1 of=partitionone

followed by a virsh detach... (with the device_del() under the cover)
during active dd processing

dmesg shows:

Hi Kevin,

doing a

       virsh detach-device ...

ends up in the following QEMU monitor commands:

1. device_del ...
2. drive_del ...

qmp_device_del() performs the device unplug path.
In case of a block device do_drive_del() tries to
prevent further IO against the host device.

However, bdrv_find() during drive_del() results in
an error, because the device is already gone. Due to
this error all the bdrv_xxx calls to quiesce the block
driver as well as all other processing is skipped.

Is the sequence that libvirt triggers OK?
Shouldn't drive_del be executed first?

No.

OK, I see. The drive is deleted implicitly (release_drive()).
Doing a device_del() requires another drive_add() AND device_add().

Yes.  The automatic drive delete on unplug is a wart that will not be
preserved in the new interfaces we're building now.

(Doing just a device_add() complains about the missing drive.
A subsequent info qtree lets QEMU abort.)

Really?  Got a reproducer for me?

drive_del is nasty.  Its purpose is to revoke access to an image even
when the guest refuses to cooperate.  To the guest, this looks like
hardware failure.

Deleting a device during active IO is nasty and it should look like a
hardware failure. I would expect lots of errors.


If you drive_del before device_del, even a perfectly well-behaved guest
guest is exposed to a terminally broken device between drive_del and
completion of unplug.

The early drive_del() would mean that no further IO would be
possible.

A polite way to describe the effect of drive_del on the guest.

drive_del makes all attempts at actual I/O error out without any
forewarning whatsoever.  If you do that to your guest, and something
breaks, you get to keep the pieces.  Even if you "only" do it for a
short period of time.

Always try a device_del first, and only if that does not complete within
reasonable time, and you absolutely must revoke access to the image,
then whack it over the head with drive_del.

What is this reasonable time?

Depends on how heavily loaded host and guest are.  Suggest to measure
with a suitably thrashing guest, then shift left to taste.

On 390 we experience problems (QEMU abort) when asynch block IO
completes and the virtqueues are already gone. I suppose the
bdrv_drain_all() in bdrv_close() is a little late. I don't see such
problems with an early bdrv_drain_all() (drive_del) and an unplug
(device_del) afterwards.

Sounds like a bug.  Got a reproducer?

I suppose that asynchronous block IO processing completes after the
guest already did the virtqueue cleanup.
Both, machine check injection and device release processing are
triggered in the unplug callback virtio_ccw_busdev_unplug().
I suppose the device release processing (with its wait for asynchronous processing to complete) happens too late.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Heinz
