Public bug reported:
I am using LVM VGs on MD-raid1 for hosting my KVM volumes. On the host,
a VG looks like this:
Disk /dev/vm/vol202a: 60 GiB, 64424509440 bytes, 125829120 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 131072 bytes / 131072 bytes
In order to replicate the block device characteristics in the guest, I
am using the following extra parameters:
-set device.scsi0-0-0-0.logical_block_size=512
-set device.scsi0-0-0-0.physical_block_size=4096
-set device.scsi0-0-0-0.min_io_size=131072
This doesn't work as qemu complains that min_io_size needs to be of type
uint16_t.

The value is set to uint16_t by mistake. The value is passed to Qemu in
bytes, but then it is divided by the sector size and passed to the vm in
sectors through a 16 bit register field. The vm kernel then multiplies
it again by sector size and shows (through /sys/block/x/queue) the value
in bytes. Because of this, the input value from the qemu side should be
uint32_t.
A simple patch is attached, correcting the problem. I think some extra
logic should be added after dividing by the page size, to prevent
overflowing the 16 bit register.
With that patch, I can pass a 4MB min and optimal io sizes successfully,
to match the stripe size used by RBD/Ceph. Sadly though, I see no
improvement coming out of it, but I'll document that in a separate bug
report.

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
