QEMU does not abandon the mirror. The job carries on in the synchronised phase and it might be either pivoted again or cancelled. The commit hints that the described behavior was happening in a downstream version.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202704 --- Notes: I've spent some time looking how the active commit and copy job actually works in qemu, but I did not check if that behavior changed in the upstream releases. At any rate, it makes sense thus I expect that it was there ever-since. src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 23 +++-------------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 2dd8ed4..e9431ad 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -16128,27 +16128,10 @@ qemuDomainBlockPivot(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, } if (ret < 0) { - /* On failure, qemu abandons the mirror, and reverts back to - * the source disk (RHEL 6.3 has a bug where the revert could - * cause catastrophic failure in qemu, but we don't need to - * worry about it here as it is not an upstream qemu problem. */ - /* XXX should we be parsing the exact qemu error, or calling - * 'query-block', to see what state we really got left in - * before killing the mirroring job? - * XXX We want to revoke security labels and disk lease, as - * well as audit that revocation, before dropping the original - * source.
