Bug 1230068

I have a patch which fix this issue and will be submitted soon (I'm waiting for brew build).

A patch was posted.

Fix included in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.480.el6

Verified it with following version and didn't hit this issue.
kernel version:2.6.32-595.el6.x86_64
qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.482.el6.x86_64
guest: rhel6

The steps
1: Boot vm with following cli:

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-name rhel6 \
-machine rhel6.6.0,accel=kvm \
-realtime mlock=off \
-cpu SandyBridge \
-m 6G   \
-smp 4,cores=2,threads=1,sockets=2  \
-uuid 49a3438a-70a3-4ba8-92ce-3a05e0934608 \
-nodefaults \
-rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew \
-monitor unix:/tmp/monitor-unix,server,nowait \
-global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 \

-device ide-drive,drive=ide,id=ide0 \
-cdrom /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win.iso \

-device e1000,netdev=hostnet1,id=virtio-net-pci1,mac=b6:2f:a8:85:72:6c,bus=pci.0,multifunction=off \
-monitor stdio \
-qmp tcp:0:4466,server,nowait -serial unix:/tmp/ttym,server,nowait \
-vga qxl \
-spice port=5910,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing,seamless-migration=on \
-object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
-device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,id=virtrng0 \
-k en-us \

2. Monitor command: "device_del virtrng0"
3. Monitor command: "device_add virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,id=virtrng0"
4. Device appear with monitor command "info pci"

  Bus  0, device   5, function 0:
    Class 0255: PCI device 1af4:1005
      IRQ 0.
      BAR0: I/O at 0x1000 [0x101f].
      id "virtrng0"
5. In guest, the current hwrng device is used
[root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_available 
virtio 
[root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current 
virtio

Can reproduced this issue with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.478.el6.x86_64

Found another issue when verified this issue

-k en-us \

2. Monitor command: "device_del virtrng0"
3. Check the rng device through monitor command "info pci"

Actual result: the RNG device didn't deleted, we must executed monitor command: "device_del virtrng0" again and the device should be deleted

Expected result: the RNG device should be deleted when executed monitor command: "device_del virtrng0" at the first time.

Could you help check this issue and should we open a new bug for tracking this issue.

Thanks
