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 FuXiangChun 2014-11-12 07:22:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
First, add hugepagesz=1G default_hugepagesz=1G to host kernel line.  make sure host support 1G hugepage.  Then starting qemu-kvm process with "-object memory-backend-file,.....size=512M".  size < 1G hugepage.  qemu-kvm-rhev core dump.  QE tested libvirt as well.  libvirt show error message as below.

error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.10.0-195.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-6.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make sure host support 1G hugepage
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages 
1

2.starting qemu-kvm-rhev process with cli

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 512 \

-object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/mnt/kvm_hugepage1/libvirt/qemu,size=512M,id=ram-node0,host-nodes=0,policy=bind  \

-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1,memdev=ram-node0 \

3.

Actual results:

Expected results:
qemu-kvm-rhev show correctly and friendly error message. shouldn't core dump.

Additional info:
libivrt hit the same issue.

Comment 3 Luiz Capitulino 2014-11-12 14:02:14 UTC 
I think this one has been fixed as part of the fix for bug 1147354. I can provide a brew build for testing.
Comment 5 Eduardo Habkost 2014-11-12 15:22:52 UTC 
I just confirmed that the fix for bug 1147354 fixes this one. Closing as duplicate.

Comment 6 Eduardo Habkost 2014-11-12 15:23:38 UTC 
For reference, this is the error message that's expected after applying the fix for bug 1147354:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 512 -object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=512M,id=ram-node0,host-nodes=0,policy=bind  -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1,memdev=ram-node0
qemu-kvm: -object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=512M,id=ram-node0,host-nodes=0,policy=bind: memory size 0x20000000 must be equal to or larger than huge page size 0x40000000
