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 Lin Chen 2014-12-05 03:21:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
Boot a guest with a assigned gpu card, then unhotplug the gpu card inside qemu. Qemu core dumped.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
inside host:
  uname  -r
  3.10.0-211.el7.x86_64
  rpm -qa |grep qemu
  qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-14.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot a guest with a assigned gpu card:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm ... -device vfio-pci,host=06:00.0,id=GPU-k1,addr=06.0

2.unhotplug the gpu card inside qemu
(qemu) device_del GPU-k1

Actual results:
qemu core dumped and get info as follows:
(gdb) bt
#0  0x000055555640f070 in ?? ()
#1  0x00005555556e131d in qemu_devices_reset () at vl.c:1840
#2  qemu_system_reset (report=report@entry=true) at vl.c:1853
#3  0x00005555555dcbb3 in main_loop_should_exit () at vl.c:1984
#4  main_loop () at vl.c:2024
#5  main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>) at vl.c:4607


Expected results:
unhotplug the gpu card successfully.

Additional, it is only for Linux guest ,and inside guest:
uname  -r
2.6.32-584.el6.x86_64
Comment 3 Alex Williamson 2014-12-05 14:08:34 UTC 
Linux guests do not support GPU hot unplug, can this be reproduced with a Windows guest?  Please reproduce with the -debug qemu-kvm package.

Hi Alex,

1.For QE, even if Linux guests do not support GPU hot unplug, qemu shouldn't core dump.

2.QE tested it with a Windows guest and didn't hit the same issue.

3.where to download the -debug qemu-kvm package? There is only -debuginfo package inside brewweb.

Thanks.

Yes, debuginfo is what I mean so that we can get a more complete backtrace.

Fixed by qemu.git b3e27c3aee8f5a96debfe0346e9c0e3a641a8516

A fairly effective test for this is to install the debuginfo package and run gdb on qemu before removing the device.  Set a breakpoint on vfio_intx_interrupt.  After removing the device with device_del or libvirt tools, vfio_intx_interrupt should not be called.  In the failing case, it continues to be called with the opaque data for the deleted device.  Since the error is continued use of an fd with freed data, reliable test cases can be temporary.

Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-22.el7
Comment 12 FuXiangChun 2015-01-27 12:37:59 UTC 
QE tested bug with the latest qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-22.el7.x86_64. The following are test scenarios and result.

S1. Assigned one GPU device(k1 or k2) to guest. then unhotplug it.

For windows(win7sp1 64bit) guest. qemu and guest work well

For RHEL7.1 guest. qemu and guest work well(guest kernel 3.10.0-226.el7.x86_64)

S2. Assigned two GPU devices(k1 and k2) to guest. then unhotplug one of them and restart guest.  

For windows(win7sp1 64big) guest. qemu and guest work well

For RHEL7.1 guest
result:guest kernel panic. I filed a new bug 1186194 to track it.
