Description Qunfang Zhang 2012-02-02 03:06:52 UTC
Description of problem:
Running iofuzz testing on RHEL5.8 guest and repeat several times, after 3 or 4 rounds later, guest image can not boot up and get a call trace. Attachment will be upload.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.222.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run iofuzz testing on RHEL6.3 host, I tested rhel5.7 and 5.8 guest, got the same result.
2.

CLI:
/home/staf-kvm-devel/autotest-devel/client/tests/kvm/qemu -name vm1 -chardev
socket,id=qmp_monitor_id_qmpmonitor1,path=/tmp/monitor-qmpmonitor1-20120201-143600-63Pq,server,nowait
-mon chardev=qmp_monitor_id_qmpmonitor1,mode=control -chardev

Serial log of the guest

Comment 4 Paolo Bonzini 2012-02-15 09:58:07 UTC
I think this is not a problem; iofuzz is mostly a QEMU test and can destabilize the guest hardware (which leads to crashes).  Unless QEMU core dumps, as in bug 751937 for example, I think there is no problem.

That said, getting the output of the gdb command "thread apply bt full" on the QEMU process can help.

Closed by mistake, setting NEEDINFO for Qunfang

Comment 6 Qunfang Zhang 2012-02-16 10:20:24 UTC
Hi, Paolo
I meet this issue during iofuzz autotest. Now the job is running and I will provide the bt log after it get the calltrace point.

So, this issue is most likely not a bug?
