https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073305 When creating a volume in a pool, the creation allows the 'capacity' value to be larger than the available space in the pool. As long as the 'allocation' value will fit in the space, the volume will be created. However, resizing the volume checks were made with the new absolute capacity value against existing capacity + the available space without regard for whether the new absolute capacity was actually allocating space or not. For example, a pool with 75G of available space creates a volume of 10G using a capacity of 100G and allocation of 10G will succeed; however, if the allocation used a capacity of 10G instead and then tried to resize the allocation to 100G the code would fail to allow the backend to try the resize. Furthermore, when updating the pool "available" and "allocation" values, the resize code would just "blindly" adjust them regardless of whether space was "allocated" or just "capacity" was being adjusted. This left a scenario whereby a resize to 100G would fail; however, a resize to 50G followed by one to 100G would both succeed. Again, neither was adjusting the allocation value, just the "capacity" value. This patch adds more logic to the resize code to understand whether the new capacity value is actually "allocating" space as well and whether it shrinking or expanding. Since unsigned arithmatic is involved, the possibility that we adjust the pool size values incorrectly is probable. This patch also ensures that updates to the pool values only occur if we actually performed the allocation. NB: The storageVolDelete, storageVolCreateXML, and storageVolCreateXMLFrom each only updates the pool allocation/availability values by the target volume allocation value.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
