After run the command "$ sudo journalctl _COMM=df", the error "Failed to get journal fields: Cannot assign requested address" is returned. On other Fedoras, for example Fedora 22, the "-- No entries --" string is returned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-222-2.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "$ sudo journalctl _COMM=df"

Actual results:
$ sudo journalctl _COMM=df
Failed to get journal fields: Cannot assign requested address
-- Logs begin at Mon 2015-08-17 13:42:28 CEST, end at Fri 2015-08-21 09:59:25 CEST. --

Expected results:
$ sudo journalctl _COMM=df
-- No entries --

Comment 1 Göran Uddeborg 2015-10-28 20:44:21 UTC

It doesn't have to be selection by filters.  This message comes for any search that doesn't return any messages.  E.g.

mimmi$ env LANG=en_US.utf8 journalctl --dmesg --since=21:40
Failed to get journal fields: Cannot assign requested address
-- Logs begin at Mon 2015-09-28 15:00:02 CEST, end at Wed 2015-10-28 21:42:46 CET. --

Comment 2 Jan Synacek 2015-10-29 07:47:50 UTC

Works upstream. I just have to dig out the patch.

Comment 3 Jan Synacek 2015-11-10 07:40:05 UTC

The upstream commit fixing this is https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/02ab86c732576a71179ce12e97d44c289833236d.

However, there were several journal fixes around that time and it would be probably useful to commit some of them. The complete patch set I suggest is the following:
