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 of problem:
qemu prompt an error when canceling migration,
source qemu output:
(qemu) 2016-07-12T05:39:45.219891Z qemu-kvm: RP: Received invalid message 0x0000 length 0x0000
2016-07-12T05:39:45.243909Z qemu-kvm: socket_writev_buffer: Got err=104 for (73885/18446744073709551615)

And destination qemu output:
(qemu) 2016-07-12T05:51:22.255333Z qemu-kvm: Unknown combination of migration flags: 0
2016-07-12T05:51:22.255401Z qemu-kvm: error while loading state section id 2(ram)
2016-07-12T05:51:22.255909Z qemu-kvm: load of migration failed: Invalid argument

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-12.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-461.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch guest with:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name linux -cpu Westmere,check -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 7bef3814-631a-48bb-bae8-2b1de75f7a13 -nodefaults -monitor stdio -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot order=c,menu=on -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -drive file=/nfsmount/RHEL-Server-7.3-64-virtio.qcow2,if=none,cache=writeback,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -msg timestamp=on -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.revision=3 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=3C:D9:2B:09:AB:44,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3

2.Launch guest on destination host with same cmd plus -incoming tcp:0:1234
3.(qemu) migrate -d tcp:$dest_ip:1234
4.(qemu) migrate_cancel

Actual results:
migration canceled, but with errors.

Expected results:
migration canceled, without any error.

Additional info:
qemu-kvm-rhev-10:2.3.0-31.el7_2.4.x86_64 works well
qemu-kvm-rhev-10:2.5.0-1.el7.x86_64 reproduces
Comment 3 Amit Shah 2016-07-29 08:36:09 UTC 
Does a second migration succeed after this?

If it does, even if this is a regression, it's not a major cause for concern, as:
1) migration was cancelled, and it does get cancelled
2) there's no effect on future migrations

The only side-effect of the bug is an unexpected error message, which doesn't cause any harm in actual functionality.

However, if further migrations are indeed affected, this should be treated as a blocker.

Hi Amit,

I have just tested this on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-16.el7.x86_64.
The second migration after cancelling will succeed, it indeed does not harm functionality, it's just showing an error message. But I think it would be better if we could hide this error.

Comment 6 Amit Shah 2016-07-29 09:02:05 UTC 
Thanks for checking.

It's really an informative message which is emitted by newer versions of QEMU.  These messages help us debug problems.  Earlier, such messages were not emitted, but now they are.  This doesn't indicate an error, just mentions that an abnormal situation was reached.  There's 'err=104' in there, which might suggest it's an error, but that 'err' is just the name of the variable used in code.

In summary, nothing has changed functionally, just more logging for easier debugging.

I'm closing this as NOTABUG as a result.
