[Bug 1317491] Re: virsh blockcommit hangs at 100%

[Rafael David Tinoco]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * Virsh can't merge snapshots using the Block Commit technique
   * It is only possible to merge base to top image (not the opposite)
   * Combination of libvirt v1.2.2 and QEMU 2 is no good for Block Commit
   * After this fix, virsh won't hang on the opration, will cause an error
  
  [Test Case]
  
-  * Workaround in Commit #10
-  * QEMU is fine in Commit #11
-  * Test Case in Commit #12
+ $ virsh list --all
+  Id    Name                           State
+ ----------------------------------------------------
+  4     guest                          running
+ 
+ $ virsh domblklist --domain guest
+ Target     Source
+ ------------------------------------------------
+ vda        /var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.1487880011

+ $ sudo qemu-img info --backing-chain /var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.1487880011 | grep image:
+ image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.1487880011
+ image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.qcow2
+ 
+ inaddy@(kvm02):~$ virsh blockcommit --domain=guest --path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.1487880011 --base=/var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.qcow2 --wait --verbose
+ Block Commit: [100 %] <----- STUCKS HERE
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
-  * Block commit (Already broken) would continue not working
+  * Block commit for Active layers would continue not working
+  * Block commit for Intermediary layers would not work
   * Its a small fix based on upstream fix (to block this function)
+  * Has been tested a lost on verification
  
  [Other Info]
