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 Luyao Huang 2015-03-02 07:56:19 UTC 
description of problem:
libvirt should remove the pid file of vm after vm offline if we restart libvirtd after start the vm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
 
1.prepare a happy vm:

# virsh list

----------------------------------------------------
 7     test4                          running

2.# cat /var/run/libvirt/qemu/test4.pid
3476

3.restart libvirtd

# service libvirtd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  libvirtd.service

4.
# cat /var/run/libvirt/qemu/test4.pid
3476

5.destroy this vm
# virsh destroy test4
Domain test4 destroyed

6.pid file still exist
# cat /var/run/libvirt/qemu/test4.pid
3476

    qemuProcessReconnect: Fill in pid file path
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197600
    
    So, libvirt uses pid file to track pid of started qemus. Whenever
    a domain is started, its pid is put into corresponding pid file.
    The pid file path is generated based on domain name and stored
    into domain object internals. However, it's not stored in the
    status XML and therefore lost on daemon restarts. Hence, later,
    when domain is being shut down, the daemon does not know which
    pid file to unlink, and the correct pid file is left behind. To
    avoid this, lets generate the pid file path again in
    qemuProcessReconnect().

Comment 4 vivian zhang 2015-06-23 08:55:56 UTC 
I can produce this bug with build libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7.x86_64

Verify this with build libvirt-1.2.16-1.el7.x86_64

1. prepare a healthy guest, start it
# virsh list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 10    vm1                            running

# cat /var/run/libvirt/qemu/vm1.pid 
26848

2. restart libvirtd, and check guest pid exist
# service libvirtd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  libvirtd.service

# cat /var/run/libvirt/qemu/vm1.pid 
26848

3. destroy guest, check pid disappeared

# virsh destroy vm1
Domain vm1 destroyed

# cat /var/run/libvirt/qemu/vm1.pid 
cat: /var/run/libvirt/qemu/vm1.pid: No such file or directory

4. shutdown and managedsave guest to shutoff status, pid all removed automatically
