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 zhe peng 2018-01-25 10:29:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
Segmentation fault when run some virt-admin help srv* cmd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-admin-3.9.0-9.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install libvirt-admin pkg
2.# virt-admin help srv-clients-set
  NAME
    srv-clients-set - (null)

  SYNOPSIS
    srv-clients-set
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

same with cmd srv-threadpool-set,srv-clients-info,srv-threadpool-info,srv-clients-list

actually srv-* cmd removed in help contents.
Monitoring commands (help keyword 'monitor'):
    server-list                    list available servers on a daemon
    server-threadpool-info         get server workerpool parameters
    client-list                    list clients connected to <server>
    client-info                    retrieve client's identity info from server
    server-clients-info            get server's client-related configuration limits

 Management commands (help keyword 'management'):
    server-threadpool-set          set server workerpool parameters
    client-disconnect              force disconnect a client from the given server
    server-clients-set             set server's client-related configuration limits
    daemon-log-filters             fetch or set the currently defined set of logging filters on daemon
    daemon-log-outputs             fetch or set the currently defined set of logging outputs on daemon

Actual results:


Expected results:
if virt-admin use server* instead of srv*, we hope no Segmentation fault and
error msg like this:
error: command or command group 'srv*' doesn't exist

    vsh: Cmd aliases lookups should return results for the aliased command

    Unfortunately, we have a number of aliases in virsh and even though
    these are not visible any more, we have to support them. The problem is
    that when trying to print help for the alias, we get SIGSEGV because
    there isn't any @def structure anymore and we need to query the command
    being aliased instead.

Comment 3 Lili Zhu 2018-06-15 07:10:07 UTC 
Verify this bug with:
libvirt-4.4.0-2.el7.x86_64

steps:
1. print help for virsh cmd alias
# virsh help nodedev-dettach
  NAME
    nodedev-detach - detach node device from its device driver

  SYNOPSIS
    nodedev-detach <device> [--driver <string>]
......

2. print help for virt-admin cmd alias
# virt-admin help srv-list 
  NAME
    server-list - list available servers on a daemon

  SYNOPSIS
    server-list

I also try to print help other cmd aliases of virt-admin, including srv-threadpool-info, srv-clients-info, srv-threadpool-set, srv-clients-set, all of them work well.

As the result matches with the expected result, mark the bug as verified.
