** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification
+
+ [Impact]
+
+ Hot removal of disks under kvm on s390 does not result in the kernel
+ removing the block device, which can lead to hung tasks and other
+ issues.
+
+ [Test Plan]
+
+ See steps to reproduce the bug in the original description below. To
+ test, execute these steps and confirm that the block device gets removed
+ as expected.
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ The fix is a revert of the changes which introduced this regression. The
+ original commit was a removal of supposedly unused code, but it seems a
+ mistake was made in the logic around unregistering of disks. Reverting
+ the changes could have potential to introduce bugs related to other virt
+ devices, especially if it interacts badly with subsequent driver
+ changes. However, the patch reverted cleanly, and reverting restores the
+ code to the state which has been working well in previous kernels and
+ seems like the lowest risk option until a proper fix is available
+ upstream.

Repro:
#1 Get a guest
$ uvt-kvm create --disk 5 --password=ubuntu h release=hirsute arch=s390x
label=daily
$ uvt-kvm wait h release=hirsute arch=s390x label=daily
#2 Attach and Detach disk
$ sudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.qcow2 10M
$ virsh attach-disk h /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.qcow2 vdc
$ virsh detach-disk h vdc
-
From libvirts POV it is gone at this point
$ virsh domblklist h
Target Source
------------------------------------------------------------------
vda /var/lib/uvtool/libvirt/images/hirsute-2nd-zfs.qcow
vdb /var/lib/uvtool/libvirt/images/hirsute-2nd-zfs-ds.qcow
But the guest thinks still it is present
$ uvt-kvm ssh --insecure hirsute-2nd-zfs lsblk
...
vdc 252:32 0 20M 0 disk
This even remains a while after (not a race).
Any access to it in the guest will hang (as you'd expect of a non-existing
blockdev)
4 0 1758 1739 20 0 12140 4800 - S+ pts/0 0:00 |
\_ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdc
4 0 1759 1758 20 0 6924 1044 - D+ pts/0 0:00 |
\_ mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdc
The result above was originally found with hirsute-guest@hirsute-host on
s390x
I do NOT see the same with groovy-guest@hirsute-host on s390x
I DO see the same with hirsute-guest@groovy-host on s390x
=> Guest version dependent not Host/Hipervisor dependent
I DO see the same with ZFS disks AND LVM disks being added&removed
=> not type dependent
I do NOT see the same on x86.
=> Arch dependent ??
... the evidence slowly points towards an issue in the guest, damn we are so
close to release - but non-fully detaching disks are critical in my POV :-/
Filing this as-is for awareness, but certainly this will need more debugging.
Unsure where this is going to eventually I'll now file it for
kernel/udev/systemd.
If there are any known issues/components that are related let me know please!
