Fixed upstream in 1bbd185fa826a2da7c6089b968f9f7d08438c2c8 Reproduced this issue on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6 and verified pass on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.221.el6.x86_64.
Steps:
Boot a guest with chardev but without backend, for example:
-device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev id=channel0,host=127.0.0.1,port=12345,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=channel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm
On qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6, got a segment fault:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

On qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.221.el6.x86_64, qemu gives prompt if there's no backend for a chardev:
chardev: "channel0" missing backend
So, this issue is fixed.

Description of problem: chardev does not have a default backend ,when start qemu-kvm with -chardev w/o backend ,seg fault will happened. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # uname -r 2.6.32-215.el6.x86_64 [root@test ~]# rpm -q qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.206.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.start guest with -chardev id=charchannnel0 -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=test Actual results: segfault happened .
