Description Andrea Bolognani 2019-06-04 11:30:53 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1716387

I am copying this bug because: 

  RHEL 8.1 shouldn't contain bugs that have been fixed in RHEL 7.7.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1703661 +++

Description of problem:
When numatune placement auto is set, guest can not be started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q libvirt qemu-kvm-rhev kernel
libvirt-4.5.0-15.virtcov.el7.ppc64le
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-27.el7.ppc64le
kernel-3.10.0-1034.el7.ppc64le

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. To define a guest with:
<numatune><memory mode="strict" placement="auto" /></numatune>
2. Try to start it

Actual results:
# virsh start test1
error: Failed to start domain test1
error: invalid argument: Failed to parse bitmap ''

Expected results:
Domain test1 started

Additional info:
1. It looks like this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233023
2. When I use the compose RHEL-7.7-20190403.0(libvirt-4.5.0-11), the test pass. And then I update the libvirt to the latest(4.5.0-15), it will reproduce the problem. But when I downgrade it to 4.5.0-11, it still could be reproduced.
3. When I use the compose RHEL-7.7-20190424.0(libvirt-4.5.0-14), it could be reproduced
