[Qemu-devel] [Snapshot Bug?]Qcow2 meta data corruption

Hi all,
There was a problem about qcow2 image file happened in my serval vms and I could not figure it out,
so have to ask for some help.
Here is the thing:
At first, I found there were some data corruption in a vm, so I did qemu-img check to all my vms.
parts of check report:

430-Warning: cluster offset=0xc000c00010000 is after the end of the image file, can't properly check refcounts.
After a futher look in, I found two l2 entries point to the same cluster, and that was found in serval qcow2 image files of different vms.
Like this:
table entry conflict (with our qcow2 check 
tool):
a table offset : 0x00000093f7080000 level : 2, l1 table entry 100, l2 table entry 7

I think the problem is relate to the snapshot create, delete. But I cant reproduce it .
Can Anyone give a hint about how this happen?

How did you create/delete your snapshots?

More specifically, did you take care to never access your image from
more than one process (except if both are read-only)? It happens
occasionally that people use 'qemu-img snapshot' while the VM is
running. This is wrong and can corrupt the image.

Since this has been done by more than one person, I'm wondering if there
is something we can do in the qcow2 format itself to make it harder for
the casual user to cause corruption.  Maybe if we declare some bit or
extension header for an image open for writing, which other readers can
use as a warning ("this image is being actively modified; reading it may
fail"), and other writers can use to deny access ("another process is
already modifying this image"), where a writer should set that bit
before writing anything else in the file, then clear it on exit.  Of
course, you'd need a way to override the bit to actively clear it to
recover from the case of a writer dying unexpectedly without resetting
it normally.  And it won't help the case of a reader opening the file
first, followed by a writer, where the reader could still get thrown off
track.

Or maybe we could document in the qcow2 format that all readers and
writers should attempt to obtain the appropriate flock() permissions [or
other appropriate advisory locking scheme] over the file header, so that
cooperating processes that both use advisory locking will know when the
file is in use by another process.

OpenPGP digital signature


I created/deleted the snapshot by using qmp command "snapshot_blkdev_internal"/"snapshot_delete_blkdev_internal", and for avoiding the case you mentioned above, I have added the flock() permission in the qemu_open().
Here is the test of doing qemu-img snapshot to a running vm:
Diskfile:/sf/data/36c81f660e38b3b001b183da50b477d89_f8bc123b3e74/images/host-f8bc123b3e74/4a8d8728fcdc/Devried30030.vm/vm-disk-1.qcow2 is used! errno=Resource temporarily unavailable
Does the two cluster entry happen to be the same because of the refcount of using cluster decrease to 0 unexpectedly and  is allocated again?
If it was not accessing the image from more than one process, any other exceptions I can test for?
Thanks
