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 Basil Salman 2021-02-16 10:01:01 UTC
Description of problem:
As part of BZ#1920342, Qemu-ga-win was reported to have resource (memory and handle) leaks.
the leaks were found in "guest-get-osinfo" and "guest-get-devices"

Comment 3 dehanmeng 2021-02-22 14:43:12 UTC
recently hit a uncommon problem 'bsod' for testing guest-agent on win10-20H20_x86 guest, case is 42-Host_RHEL.m8.u4.product_av.qcow2.virtio_scsi.up.virtio_net.Guest.Win10.x86_64.io-github-autotest-qemu.qemu_guest_agent.virtio_serial.check_os_info.q35, so I thought about this bz and I'm trying to collect dump file, but it's not easy to get, because I've been testing it 200 times, keep doing it. just update the situation here as tracker. feel free to correct me if I misunderstand something.

Hi Dehan,

Scratch build with changes:
https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=35146591
can this build be verified for this bug too?

Thanks in advance,
Basil

Comment 12 dehanmeng 2021-02-25 13:34:36 UTC
Hi Basil, qga command {"guest-get-disks"} of new build works well. 

reproduce with previous mingw-qemu-ga-win-101.2.0-1.el7ev
step to reproduce:
1. boot up win2019 guest with serial and qga.
2. connect with guest and execute qga command, run following command in terminal (host).
cat <(for i in {1..10000}; do echo '{"execute":"guest-get-osinfo"}'; sleep 2; echo '{"execute":"guest-get-devices"}'; sleep 2; done)  | nc -U /tmp/qga.sock > log
3.check the PID of QEMU-ga in cmd with following command (guest):
C:> handle.exe -s -p $qga_PID

Actual result:
handles raise up without limit, resource leak.
Expected result:
handles maintain a stable value.

Verify with this build qemu-ga-win-102.0.0-1.el8.noarch.rpm
step to verify:
as above

Actual result:
handles maintain a stable value.
Expected result:
as above.

Hi Basil, qga command {"guest-get-osinfo"}, {"guest-get-devices"} of new build works well. didn't check out resource leak.

Comment 14 Germano Veit Michel 2021-03-01 21:14:20 UTC
The test build given to the customer in BZ1920342 was tested by the customer and it fixed the handle leak.

Comment 19 dehanmeng 2021-03-07 12:55:52 UTC
reproduce with previous mingw-qemu-ga-win-101.2.0-1.el7ev
step to reproduce:
1. boot up win10-64(q35) guest with serial and qga.
2. Check the PID and start handles of qga in guest.
# win+R --> 'taskmgr' --> More details --> right click 'Name' and choose 'PID', 
# C:> handle.exe -s -p $PID
3. connect with guest and execute qga command, run following command in terminal (host).
cat <(for i in {1..10000}; do echo '{"execute":"guest-get-osinfo"}'; sleep 2; echo '{"execute":"guest-get-devices"}'; sleep 2; done)  | nc -U /tmp/qga.sock > log
4.check the end handles of QEMU-ga in cmd with following command after several minutes:
# C:> handle.exe -s -p $qga_PID

Actual result:
handles raise up without limit, actually it should be limited to less than 300, but now it cause resource leak.

Hi all, 
The newest qemu-ga-win came out and it has been passed from my side.  the whole test loop and new cases got passed as well.  No further errors and regression issues were found now. Thanks everyone for the time and effort.

Cheers
Dehan

the qemu-ga-win version is mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.0.0-2.el8

Comment 24 Vadim Rozenfeld 2021-05-11 09:32:57 UTC
Seems as we have two options to solve this problem , use the latest rhel 8.4.0 virtio win rpm or
update/repackage 8.3.0(z) virtio-win rpm with the latest binaries that were used for building 8.4.0 
virtio-win package. Please let us know which one looks better.

using latest virtio-win rpm from 8.4 is ok from RHV point of view if that's the question for me.
