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 of problem:
Failed to hotunplug pc-dimm device

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host:
kernel-4.18.0-252.el8.ppc64le
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-35.module+el8.4.0+8705+34397d87.ppc64le
guest:
kernel-4.18.0-252.el8.ppc64le

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot guest with command
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
	-smp 4  \
	-m 4G,slots=16,maxmem=20G \
	-nodefaults \
	-device spapr-vty,id=serial111,chardev=serial \
	-chardev socket,path=serial,id=serial,server,nowait,signal=off \
	-device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0 \
	-device scsi-hd,id=scsi-hd0,drive=scsi-hd0-dr0,bootindex=0 \
	-drive file=rhel840-ppc64le-virtio-scsi.qcow2,if=none,id=scsi-hd0-dr0,format=qcow2,cache=none \
	-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,id=nic0,mac=52:54:00:c4:e7:84 \
	-netdev tap,id=net0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown,vhost=on \
	-mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -chardev socket,path=monitor,id=monitor,server,nowait,signal=off \
2.Run hotplug and unplug command for a loop
echo "object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=4G"|nc -U monitor;
for((i=1;i<=50;i++));do echo "device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1,node=0" |nc -U monitor;sleep 5;echo "device_del dimm1" |nc -U monitor;sleep 5;done
3.

Actual results:
Failed to hotunplug pc-dimm device in the 15 loop.
