RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-04-24 18:22:43 UTC

Description of problem:

Server aborts after second seamless migration in display_channel_client_restore_surface()

spice-server-0.12.0-12.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
90% with my setup

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 3 (or more) instances of qemu with a windows guest, using qxl driver, configured for seamless migration
2. connect to first instance with a spice-gtk based client that supports seamless migration (rhevm 3.2 mingw-virt-viewer or upstream spice-gtk)
3. while keeping client connected, do migrations between qemu instance


Actual results:
spice server crash

#6  display_channel_client_restore_surfaces_lossless (rcc=0x7fac68622010, size=<value optimized out>, message=<value optimized out>) at red_worker.c:9785


Expected results:

no crash during migration

Additional info:

seems like whether migrated surfaces are lossy or not make a difference. I am running the client over a poor wifi LAN at home.

Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-04-24 18:24:30 UTC

as a temporary solution, replacing the assert() with a warn() seems quite harmless... the server keeps running fine.

Imho, the server should never crash, even if client sends corrupted data.

Comment 2 Yonit Halperin 2013-04-24 21:20:53 UTC

Marc-Andre,
I'm not able to reproduce it with my setup.
Please attach your qemu command line. The qemu src and dst logs, and the remote-viewer log (all with the highest debug level), may also be helpful.
