https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142631 This patch resolves a situation where the same "<target dev='$name'...>" can be used for multiple disks in the domain. While the $name is "mostly" advisory regarding the expected order that the disk is added to the domain and not guaranteed to map to the device name in the guest OS, it still should be unique enough such that other domblk* type operations can be performed. Without the patch, the domblklist will list the same Target twice: $ virsh domblklist $dom Target Source ------------------------------------------------ sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/file.qcow2 sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/file.img Additionally, getting domblkstat, domblkerror, domblkinfo, and other block* type calls will not be able to reference the second target. Fortunately, hotplug disallows adding a "third" sda value: $ qemu-img create -f raw /var/lib/libvirt/images/file2.img 10M $ virsh attach-disk $dom /var/lib/libvirt/images/file2.img sda error: Failed to attach disk error: operation failed: target sda already exists $ BUT, it since 'sdb' doesn't exist one would get the following on the same hotplug attempt, but changing to use 'sdb' instead of 'sda' $ virsh attach-disk $dom /var/lib/libvirt/images/file2.img sdb error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Duplicate ID 'scsi0-0-1' for device $ Since we cannot fix this issue at parsing time, the best that can be done so as to not "lose" a domain is to make the check prior to starting the guest with the results as follows: $ virsh start $dom error: Failed to start domain $dom error: XML error: target 'sda' duplicated for disk sources '/var/lib/libvirt/images/file.qcow2' and '/var/lib/libvirt/images/file.img' $ Running 'make check' found a few more instances in the tests where this duplicated target dev value was being used. These also exhibited some duplicated 'id=' values (negating the uniqueness argument of aliases) in the corresponding .args file and of course the *xmlout version of a few input XML files.
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.
