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 Sibiao Luo 2013-10-08 07:32:28 UTC
Description of problem:
met this quit (core dumped) by chance that when start guest with virtio serial and start guest agent inside guest, then connect the chardev socket in host side for sending commands to guest and press 'Ctrl |' keyboard will trigger the chardev socket for virtagent quit (core dumped).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
2.6.32-420.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.410.el6.x86_64
nc-1.84-22.el6.x86_64
guest info:
2.6.32-420.el6.x86_64
qemu-guest-agent-0.12.1.2-2.410.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.start guest with virtio serial and start guest agent inside guest.
e.g:...-chardev socket,path=/tmp/qga.sock,server,nowait,id=qga0 -device virtio-serial -device virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0
2.connect the chardev socket in host side for sending commands to guest.
# service qemu-ga restart
Stopping qemu-ga:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting qemu-ga:                                          [  OK  ]
# service qemu-ga status
qemu-ga (pid  2576) is running...
3.press \ and 'Ctrl |' keyboard.
# nc -U /tmp/qga.sock readline
\                            <----------press '\'
{"error": {"class": "JSONParsing", "desc": "Invalid JSON syntax", "data": {}}}
^\Quit (core dumped)         <----------press '|'

Actual results:
after step 3, the chardev socket for virtagent quit (core dumped), bt log as following:
Core was generated by `nc -U /tmp/qga.sock readline'.
Program terminated with signal 3, Quit.

Expected results:
it should not quit and no any core dump, it should give a prompt message instead, like: {"error": {"class": "JSONParsing", "desc": "Invalid JSON syntax", "data": {}}}

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:02:52 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Petr Šabata 2013-10-14 03:31:41 UTC
This looks like you're sending SIGQUIT to the process and the behavior is thus valid.

Comment 4 Petr Šabata 2013-10-31 07:22:46 UTC
Closing as NOTABUG.
