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 Fangge Jin 2017-06-16 10:13:12 UTC 
Created attachment 1288307 [details]
guest xml

Description of problem:
Start guest with the xml in the attachment.

Reboot guest, qemu will crash. The error message from qemu log:
qemu-kvm: hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c:879: fw_cfg_modify_file: Assertion `index < fw_cfg_file_slots(s)' failed.
2017-06-14 12:43:27.809+0000: shutting down, reason=crashed

Version-Release number of selected component:
libvirt-3.2.0-10.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-10.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Define a guest with xml in the attachment.
# virsh define rhel7.3.xml

2.Start guest:
# virsh start rhel7.3

3.After guest boots up fully, reboot guest:
# virsh reboot rhel7.3


Actual results:
qemu crash when reboot guest


Expected results:
qemu doesn't crash


Additional info:
1. Change machine type to pc-i440fx-rhel7.4.0, can't reproduce.
2. Delete any one of the following elements from xml, can't reproduce:
   1) <bootmenu enable='yes' timeout='3000'/>
   2) <bios useserial='yes' rebootTimeout='0'/>
   3) <maxMemory> and <numa>....
   4) <controller type='pci' index='1' model='pci-expander-bus'>...
   5) <panic model='isa'>
3. This is NOT a regression, I can reproduce on RHEL7.3.z: 
   qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-28.el7_3.10.x86_64
