BZ:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843372
when qemu supports the 'transaction' monitor command,
and libvirt's --reuse-ext flag was not specified, libvirt created
a stub file with zero size in first place. After the failure of
QEMU transaction command performing qcow2 snapshots on more than
one drives, the stub file is left behind with non-empty
by the QEMU transaction command.
In order to unlink the file, the patch removes the file size checking.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Steps:
1, Create a qemu instance with two drive images of qcow2 type (root user)
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1 -name "rhel6u1" \
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/firstqcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none
-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 \
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/secondqcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=qcow2,cache=none \
-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -qmp stdio
2, Initialize qemu qmp
{"execute":"qmp_capabilities"}
3, Remove the second drive image file
rm -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/secondqcow2
4, Run 'transaction' command with snapshot qemu commands in.
{"execute":"transaction","arguments":
{"actions":
[{"type":"blockdev-snapshot-sync","data":
{"device":"drive-virtio-disk0","snapshot-file":"/var/lib/libvirt/images/firstqcow2-snapshot.img","format":"qcow2"}
},
{"type":"blockdev-snapshot-sync","data":
{"device":"drive-virtio-disk1","snapshot-file":"/var/lib/libvirt/images/secondqcow2-snapshot.img","format":"qcow2"}
}]
},
"id":"libvirt-6"}
5, Got the error as follows:
{"id": "libvirt-6",
"error": {"class": "OpenFileFailed", "desc": "Could not open '/var/lib/libvirt/images/secondqcow2-snapshot.img'",
"data": {"filename": "/var/lib/libvirt/images/secondqcow2-snapshot.img"}
}
}
6, List first newly-created snapshot file:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 262144 Sep 13 11:43 firstqcow2-snapshot.img
