[Bug 1885528] [NEW] snapshot delete fails on shutdown VM

 

Public bug reported:

Description:
When we try to delete the last snapshot of a VM in shutdown state, this snapshot_delete will fail (and be stuck in state error-deleting). When setting state==available and redeleting the snapshot, the volume will be corrupted and the VM will never start again. Volumes are stored on NFS.
(for root cause and fix, see the bottom of this post)

To reproduce:
- storage on NFS
- create a VM and some snapshots
- shut down the VM (ie volume is still considered "attached" but vm is no longer "active")
- delete the last snapshot

Expected Result:
snapshot is deleted, vm still works

Actual result:
The snapshot is stuck on error deleting. After setting the snapshot state==available and deleting the snapshot again, the volume will be corrupted and the VM will never start again. (non-existing backing_file in qcow on disk)

Environment:
- openstack version: stein, deployed via kolla-ansible. I suspect this downloads from git but i don't know the exact version.
- hypervisor: Libvirt + KVM
- storage: NFS
- networking: Neutron with OpenVSwitch

Root Cause:
When you look at the first line in the debug log: "No disk at volume-volid.snapid", you will notice that this is a relative path. When the code does an `os.path.exists("volume-volid.snapid")` this will obviously fail (as nova has a cwd="/") and the volumes are stored under "/usr/lib/nova/mnt/xxxxx/". If an absolute path were used, the code would be much happier :)

Code path:
  - cinder->snapshot_delete
  - In remotefs.py (called for nfs): if volume is attached -> call nova snapshot_delete
  - nova-> snapshot_delete: If snapshot_to_merge == active -> do rebase
  - if VM is not active: call _rebase_with_qemu_img (virt/libvirt/driver.py)
  - rebase_base/backing_file is now usually a relative file (depends on wether qemu_img_info is called with json or human and can also depend on the cwd). In all instances i saw, this was a relative path. When _rebase_with_qemu_img calls images.qemu_img_info(backing_file), this will fail unless supplied with and absolute path (first line in qemu_img_info does an os.path.exists which will obviously fail on a relative path). This will cause the snapshot delete to fail.

Potential, cinder_based fix:
In cinder, qemu_img_info is typically wrapped to always convert the backing_file to a relative path. In the code there are typically 2 variables: backing_file (relative) and backing_path(absolute). The code then decides when to use what variable:

Note:
We've only been able to test on Stein. However based on a code analysis of the current code in git, this bug is probably still present.

  Root Cause:
  When you look at the first line in the debug log: "No disk at volume-volid.snapid", you will notice that this is a relative path. When the code does an `os.path.exists("volume-volid.snapid")` this will obviously fail (as nova has a cwd="/") and the volumes are stored under "/usr/lib/nova/mnt/xxxxx/". If an absolute path were used, the code would be much happier :)

  Code path:
    - cinder->snapshot_delete
    - In remotefs.py (called for nfs): if volume is attached -> call nova snapshot_delete
    - nova-> snapshot_delete: If snapshot_to_merge == active -> do rebase
    - if VM is not active: call _rebase_with_qemu_img (virt/libvirt/driver.py)
    - rebase_base/backing_file is now usually a relative file (depends on wether qemu_img_info is called with json or human and can also depend on the cwd). In all instances i saw, this was a relative path. When _rebase_with_qemu_img calls images.qemu_img_info(backing_file), this will fail unless supplied with and absolute path (first line in qemu_img_info does an os.path.exists which will obviously fail on a relative path). This will cause the snapshot delete to fail.

  Potential, cinder_based fix:
  In cinder, qemu_img_info is typically wrapped to always convert the backing_file to a relative path. In the code there are typically 2 variables: backing_file (relative) and backing_path(absolute). The code then decides when to use what variable:

  Note:
  We've only been able to test on Stein. However based on a code analysis of the current code in git, this bug is probably still present.
