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 Paolo Bonzini 2017-05-18 09:25:24 UTC
After migration, if flow control is in effect, the destination of migration does not set up the serial port to send again the character in the THR (transmit hold register).

The bug should be reproducible easily with qtest.

Comment 4 Paolo Bonzini 2017-06-06 20:43:01 UTC
1) start /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive if=none,id=hd,file=$HOME/f25-64.qcow2 -device virtio-blk,drive=hd -m 256 --enable-kvm -serial pty -monitor stdio

2) start cat for pty opened by first QEMU instance, e.g. "cat /dev/pts/5" if it prints
     char device redirected to /dev/pts/5 (label serial0)

3) start /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive if=none,id=hd,file=$HOME/f25-64.qcow2 -device virtio-blk,drive=hd -m 256 --enable-kvm -serial pty -monitor stdio -incoming tcp:localhost:12345

4) start cat for pty opened by second QEMU instance

6) type "yes > /dev/ttyS0", endless stream of "y" comes out of cat instance #1

7) type ^Z to stop cat instance #1

8) start migration:
      migrate_set_speed 1G
      migrate tcp:localhost:12345

9) endless stream of "y" should come out of cat instance #2

Comment 5 xianwang 2017-06-07 12:52:49 UTC
Thanks for Paolo's comment, refer to your comment, now I can reproduce this bug as following:
Bug reproduction:

2)on src host,start cat for pty opened by src host QEMU instance:
[root@dhcp-10-122 ~]# cat /dev/pts/1

3)On dst host, launch listening mode, the qemu cli is same with above appending "incoming tcp:0:5801"

4)On dst host, start cat for pty opened by dst host QEMU instance:
[root@dhcp-10-208 ~]# cat /dev/pts/4

5)In guest, type "yes > /dev/ttyS0",endless stream of "y" comes out of cat instance on src host;
6)On src host, do migration
(qemu) migrate -d tcp:10.66.10.208:5801
7)After migration completed, "y" stopped coming out of on src host, and endless stream of "y" changes to comes out of cat instance on dst host
in src host cat instance:

in dst host cat instance:

Comment 6 Paolo Bonzini 2017-06-07 12:58:30 UTC
Note that you tested qemu-kvm-rhev, the bug is fixed there.

On qemu-kvm, you'll see no "y" on the destination host unless you have the patch.

Comment 7 Paolo Bonzini 2017-06-08 16:03:19 UTC
Needs v2.

Comment 9 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-06-13 08:03:40 UTC
