Qemu log

Description of problem:
Start a guest with multiple video devices, when guest boots up fully, reboot guest, and repeating booting for several times, qemu process will crash.

Version-Release number of selected component:
spice-server-0.12.4-18.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-20.el7.x86_64
libvirt-2.0.0-5.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-489.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a guest with GUI and add multiple videos into guest xml:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7
...
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='1' vram='32768' vgamem='16384' heads='2' primary='yes'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='3'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='16384' vgamem='16384' heads='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

2. Start guest

3. when guest boots up fully, reboot guest
# virsh reboot rhel7

4. Repeat step 3 for several times, qemu will crash

Actual results:
Qemu crash after rebooting several times

Expected results:
Qemu doesn't crash

spice worker thread crashing, reassigning to spice.

Comment 5 Pavel Grunt 2016-09-14 15:25:24 UTC
Hi,

what is purpose of the configuration (multiple devices and multiple heads) ?

It's just for testing, and "heads" doesn't take effect for now actually.

Comment 8 David Blechter 2016-09-14 15:57:45 UTC
Incorrect setting - there is only one driver for rhel 7 VMs. Need to investigate to be sure the only incorrect setting causes the crash.

Comment 9 Christophe Fergeau 2016-09-14 16:09:25 UTC
A "minimal" reproducer is to just add an additional
<video><model type='qxl'/></video> node to an existing RHEL7 VM, and then use virsh reboot. The specifics of the <video> XML nodes did not make a difference here for reproduction.

Comment 10 Frediano Ziglio 2016-12-13 15:37:49 UTC
Pavel, should we backport the patch?

Yes. It is in the upstream stable branch as well - ie it can be consider fixed by resolving the bug 1388947
