when guest started like this:
 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 4G,slots=4,maxmem=8G -numa node -numa node -object memory-backend-ram,size=1G,id=m0 -device  pc-dimm,memdev=m0,node=1 rhel6x64.img

It's regression introduced by fix for Bug 1609234
(RHEL6 memory hot-add used to work when started with >=4Gb of initial memory)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-10.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start guest with above CLI

Actual results:
guest kernel panics

Expected results:
guest kernel booted normally

Additional info:
  - it happens only when dimm is plugged into node 1
  - upstream it was agreed[1] upon reverting fix for bug 1609234 and commit
     848a1cc1e (hw/acpi-build: build SRAT memory affinity structures for DIMM devices)
    that caused bug 1609234,
    so we end up with old SRAT layout that worked fine in 2.10

Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2018-09-17 08:57:55 UTC
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-16.el7

Comment 8 Yumei Huang 2018-09-19 06:43:40 UTC
The issue is gone if boot rhel6.10 guest with the cli in comment 0 on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-16.el7. 

But QE still can hit the panic issue with following steps:

1. Boot guest in pause status with 3 nodes and 2 pc-dimms(assigned to node 1 and node 0), please see the cli[1].

2. Hotplug pc-dimm to node 2
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem2,host-nodes=0,policy=bind,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm2,memdev=mem2,node=2

3. Resume guest, hit call trace[2], guest panic

Yes, it's reproducible with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-21.el7. 

A new bug[1] has been filed.

[1]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1630850

Comment 11 Yumei Huang 2018-09-20 01:23:11 UTC
Verify:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-16.el7
Guest: RHEL6.10, RHEL7.6, Win2008sp2, Win2008r2, Win2012, Win2012r2, Win2016

QE did the same test as bug 1609234(in comment 7&10), only RHEL6.10 guest failed 3 cases due to bug 1630850, other guests pass all the tests.
