Subject: [PATCH] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Fix waiting for finalize

Waiting for image transfer finalize is complex. In the past we tried to

simplify the process by waiting on the disk status, but turns out that

due to the way oVirt lock the disk, this is not reliable.

These is finalize success flow:

1. User asks to finalize the transfer

2. oVirt sets transfer phase to FINALIZING_SUCCESS

3. oVirt finalizes the transfer

4. oVirt sets disk status to OK

5. oVirt unlocks the disk and changes transfer phase to FINISHED_SUCCESS

6. oVirt removes the transfer

In oVirt logs we can see that disk status changes to OK about 3 seconds

before the disk is actually unlocked. This is a very old problem that is

unlikely to be fixed.

The only way to wait for transfer completion is to poll the transfer

phase, but oVirt makes this hard by removing the transfer shortly after

it completes, so we may not be able to get the FINISHED_SUCCESS phase.

If the transfer was removed before we got one of the final phases, we

need to check the disk status to understand the result of transfer.

oVirt 4.4.7 made polling transfer phase easier by keeping the transfer

after completion, but we need to support older versions so we must have

generic code that work with any version.

To make debugging easier, we log the transfer phase during polling. Here

is a typical transfer log when finalizing transfer:

    finalizing transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa

    transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa is finalizing_success

    transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa is finalizing_success

    transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa is finalizing_success

    transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa is finalizing_success

    transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa is finished_success

    transfer 59e545f3-db1f-4a6b-90b1-80ac66572faa finalized in 5.153 seconds

     Finalize a transfer, making the transfer disk available.

-    If finalizing succeeds, transfer's phase will change to FINISHED_SUCCESS

-    and the transer's disk status will change to OK.  On errors, the transfer's

-    phase will change to FINISHED_FAILURE and the disk status will change to

-    ILLEGAL and it will be removed. In both cases the transfer entity will be

-    removed shortly after.

+    If finalizing succeeds, the transfer's disk status will change to OK

+    and transfer's phase will change to FINISHED_SUCCESS. Unfortunately,

+    the disk status is modified before the transfer finishes, and oVirt

+    may still hold a lock on the disk at this point.

-    If oVirt fails to finalize the transfer, transfer's phase will change to

-    PAUSED_SYSTEM. In this case the disk's status will change to ILLEGAL and it

-    will not be removed.

+    The only way to make sure that the disk is unlocked, is to wait

+    until the transfer phase switches FINISHED_SUCCESS. Unfortunately

+    oVirt makes this hard to use because the transfer is removed shortly

+    after switching the phase to the final phase. However if the

+    transfer was removed, we can be sure that the disk is not locked,

+    since oVirt releases the locks before removing the transfer.

-    For simplicity, we track only disk's status changes.

+    On errors, the transfer's phase will change to FINISHED_FAILURE and

+    the disk status will change to ILLEGAL and it will be removed. Again

+    the transfer will be removed shortly after that.

+

+    If oVirt fails to finalize the transfer, transfer's phase will

+    change to PAUSED_SYSTEM. In this case the disk's status will change

+    to ILLEGAL and it will not be removed.

+

+    oVirt 4.4.7 made waiting for transfer easier by keeping transfers

+    after they complete, but we must support older versions so we have

+    generic code that work with any version.
