Bug 908396

Hi Jiri, since this bug fix needs to be in both qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-rhev and we need 2 0-day erratas, could you please do another z stream bug clone for the rhev version? Thanks.

KVM QE tested win7sp1-64 and rhel6.4-64 guests by using qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4.1 and qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4.1, both guest work well, guest does not lose ip any longer.

Scenario1

1. Boot guest with e1000 driver
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu SandyBridge,+sep -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name test-sluo -uuid bef435d2-6d6d-4faf-9936-bc02ac89082a -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2 -drive file=/root/new-image/rhel6.4-new.qcow2,if=none,id=system-virtio-disk,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,serial=QEMU-DISK1 -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,scsi=off,drive=system-virtio-disk,id=system-disk,bootindex=1 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=ballooning,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=e100-1,mac=2C:41:38:B6:40:66,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,bootindex=2 -k en-us -boot menu=on -vnc :1 -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor1,server,nowait -monitor stdio

2. Repeatedly resets by using system_rest guest with random timing by script
#cat reboot.sh 
i=1
while [ $i -lt 900000 ]
do
echo "system_reset"|nc -U /tmp/monitor1
i=$(($i+1))
number=$(($RANDOM%60+15))
echo $number
sleep $number
done


Result:
Guest does not lost ip any longer.

Scenario 2
1. Boot guest with e1000 driver
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu SandyBridge,+sep -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name test-sluo -uuid bef435d2-6d6d-4faf-9936-bc02ac89082a -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2 -drive file=/root/new-image/rhel6.4-new.qcow2,if=none,id=system-virtio-disk,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,serial=QEMU-DISK1 -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,scsi=off,drive=system-virtio-disk,id=system-disk,bootindex=1 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=ballooning,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=e100-1,mac=2C:41:38:B6:40:66,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,bootindex=2 -k en-us -boot menu=on -vnc :1 -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor1,server,nowait -monitor stdio

2. reboot guest
#reboot

Result:
Guest does not lost ip any longer.
