I've been experimenting with sparse streams and found a bug. If you try to download a volume which doesn't support sparseness here's what happens: # virsh vol-download --sparse /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 /mnt/floppy/blah.raw # echo $? 0 # ls -lhs /mnt/floppy/bla.raw 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 30 12:40 /mnt/floppy/bla.raw That's not good. iSCSI doesn't know anything about sparseness so an error is expected here. Fortunately, the fix is fairly simple: # virsh vol-download --sparse /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 /mnt/floppy/bla.raw error: cannot close volume /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 error: Unable to seek to data: Invalid argument Michal Privoznik (2): virfdstream: Check for thread error more frequently fdstream: Report error from the I/O thread daemon/stream.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ src/util/virfdstream.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.13.0 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

I'm also getting confusing errors when there is no space on the
destination:
error: cannot receive data from volume fedora.img
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
But that's not related to the sparse streams (unless it was caused by
making the iohelper a thread).
... few moments later after /me tries just a thing or two ...
Well, this made me try out few more things and I've found out few
things. I'm not sure what's related to your patches and what's not, so
here's the rundown, and I'll let you decide:
- vol-download --sparse --offset $source_file_size --length 1
/path/to/source.file destination.file
- Every now and then (not always) it gets stuck waiting for the
daemon to receive data (see backtrace below), but the daemon is not
waiting for anything, it's just some weird race. We can try
debugging it with wireshark later. That file ends with a hole.

Trying to reproduce yet another one, the command gets stuck even with
different offsets.
- vol-download --sparse --offset $X --length 1
/path/to/source.file destination.file
- This does not respect the length if:
X > $source_file_size - $last_hole_size
The size ends up being $source_file_size - $X
I'm afraid to try more things, but I can provide more info for these if
you want.
Have a nice day,
Martin

We could instead do integration testing of this, which would be easier, however you can only do that on a filesystem that you know keeps holes, plus the hole sizes can be different based on the block size, the files can be way different based on adaptive allocations, etc. There are so many factors for this that it is not easy (I'm not saying it's impossible). If I had lot of free time, this could fit in somehow. Also after I upgrade the virfilewrapper, it will be easier to control the behaviour of the file-access functions way more delicately.

Looks to me like: a) the daemon reaches the end of the stream, but doesn't call virStreamFinish b) client reads all the incoming data from the stream, and after that finds incoming queue empty so it sends "gimme more data" packet to the daemon c) the I/O thread in the daemon has died already (it had read everything it was supposed to), so it closes the write end of the pipe d) the read end of the pipe is not added to the event loop since we are not expecting more data in the stream Frankly, I have no idea what is really going on or how to fix it. So if somebody else can take a look I'd appreciate it. Michal -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
