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 Igor Mammedov 2015-11-06 16:53:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 4G,slots=8,maxmem=32G rhel72.img  -object memory-backend-ram,id=m0,size=128M -device pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=m0  -monitor stdio

then after guest booted do in monitor:
 
   device_del dimm0

to hotunplug coldplugged memory.
Guest will print on console:
--
ACPI: \_SB_.MP00: ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_CHECK event
acpi PNP0C80:00: Already enumerated
--
and DIMM isn't unplugged.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31

How reproducible:
100%

Actual results:
DIMM isn't unplugged

Expected results:
DIMM is unplugged or guest should at least
print following message:
 ACPI: \_SB_.MP00: ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST event
Comment 2 Yumei Huang 2015-11-12 11:30:09 UTC 
Reproduce:
kernel: 3.10.0-329.el7.x86_64
qemu: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-29.el7

QE retested this bug on the above environment,then got the same result.
So, the bug is reproduced on the above environment.


Verify:
kernel: 3.10.0-329.el7.x86_64
qemu: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7.next.candidate

QE retested this bug on the above environment. After do "device_del dimm0" in monitor, the DIMM is unplugged.
So, the bug is fixed.
Comment 4 Miroslav Rezanina 2015-11-18 10:07:33 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.2
Comment 7 Yumei Huang 2016-05-18 08:09:50 UTC 
Reproduce:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7
kernel-3.10.0-366.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. boot guest with pc-dimm
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm  -m 4G,slots=8,maxmem=32G -smp 4   \

-drive file=/home/guest/RHEL-Server-7.3-64-virtio.qcow2,id=drive-virtio-disk1,media=disk,cache=none,snapshot=off,format=qcow2,aio=native,if=none  -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,bootindex=0                                      \

  -netdev tap,id=idw97X5F  -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=idw97X5F,mac='9a:37:37:37:37:8e',bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,id='idMqFTXq' -vga cirrus   -monitor stdio  -vnc :0   \

 -object memory-backend-ram,id=m0,size=128M -device pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=m0               \

 -serial unix:/tmp/console,server,nowait

2. unplug pc-dimm
(qemu) device_del dimm0

The dimm0 is not unplugged.
So the bug is reproduced. 

Verify:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-1.el7
kernel-3.10.0-366.el7.x86_64

With same steps as above, dimm0 is unplugged. 
So the bug is fixed.
