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).

Description Peixiu Hou 2017-05-24 08:42:12 UTC
Description of problem:
qemu core dump when continuouly hotplug/unplug virtserialport and virito-serial-pci in a loop

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.0-666.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-6.el7.x86_64
virtio-win-prewhql-137

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start a VM:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-name win2008 \
-enable-kvm -m 3G -smp 4 -cpu SandyBridge -uuid ea78071a-f6e4-4347-8077-9cb9f7953a84 \
-nodefconfig --nodefaults -boot order=cd,menu=on \
-device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=isa_serial0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 \
-drive file=2008-32.raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,format=raw,serial=mike_cao,cache=none -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 \
-drive file=/home/function_7.4/balloon/en_windows_server_2008_datacenter_enterprise_standard_sp2_x86_dvd_342333.iso,media=cdrom,id=cdrom,if=none -device ide-drive,drive=cdrom,bootindex=1 \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostforce=off \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:83:66:77:88:66,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,status=on \
-vnc 0.0.0.0:1 -vga std -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:4446,server,nowait \
-cdrom /home/virtio-win-prewhql-137.iso \
-device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=511 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm2,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2

2. In the host, continuous hotplug/unplug virtserialport and virito-serial-pci in a loop. the loop script as follows:
#!/bin/bash
# some simply scripts for balloon device hotplug/unplug in a loop
let i=0
exec 3<>/dev/tcp/localhost/4446 #note modify this to qmp port
echo -e "{ 'execute': 'qmp_capabilities' }" >&3
read response <&3
echo $response
while [ $i -lt 100 ]
do
echo -e "{ 'execute': 'device_del', 'arguments': {'id': 'port1' }}">&3 ;
sleep 3 ;
read response <&3 ;
echo "$i: $response"
echo -e "{ 'execute': 'device_del', 'arguments': {'id': 'port2' }}">&3 ;
sleep 3 ;
read response <&3 ;
echo "$i: $response"
echo -e "{'execute':'device_del','arguments':{'id':'virtio-serial0'}}">&3;
sleep 3 ;
read response <&3 ;
echo "$i: $response"
echo -e "{'execute':'device_add','arguments':{'driver':'virtio-serial-pci','id':'virtio-serial0','max_ports':511}}">&3;
sleep 3;
read response <&3;
echo "$i: $response"
echo -e "{'execute':'device_add','arguments':{'driver':'virtserialport','chardev':'channel1','name':'com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm1','bus':'virtio-serial0.0','id':'port1'}}">&3 ;
sleep 3 ;
read response <&3;
echo "$i: $response"
echo -e "{'execute':'device_add','arguments':{'driver':'virtserialport','chardev':'channel2','name':'com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm2','bus':'virtio-serial0.0','id':'port2'}}">&3 ;
sleep 3 ;
read response <&3
echo "$i: $response"
let i=$i+1
done

3. Check the host qemu monitor.

Actual results:
core dump

Expected results:
Pass

Additional info:
1. Reproduced this bug with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-6 +virtio-win-prewhql-126.
2. Cannot reproduce this bug with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-6 +virtio-win-prewhql-137.

Hello Peixiu Hou,

I see you tested with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-6. Can you please try to reproduce this with latest qemu-kvm-rhev or/& qemu-kvm-rhev version >= rhev-2.9.0-10.el7.

There is a fix for verio-serial issue went in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-10.el7.

Thanks,
Pankaj
