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.

The domain I was testing was on my local workstation.
Comment 7 Vivian Bian 2011-09-07 10:01:36 UTC 
Hi Dave, 
tested with following pkgs , and didn't encounter this bug 
But since we can't reproduce this bug even with the old version .Would you
please help confirm the patch ? 

libvirt-0.9.4-9.el6
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.185.el6
kernel-2.6.32-193.el6

1. configure guest grub with "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" appended in
the kernel command line 
2. configure guest with serial device added 
    <serial type='pty'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/5'/>
      <target port='0'/>
      <alias name='serial0'/>
    </serial>
3. start guest 
4. enter interactive mode of virsh 
   # virsh  
   Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh # console test1
Connected to domain test1
Escape character is ^]

perform the while loop in the guest , and then make a connect-disconnect operation . Never met subsequent commands failures .
Comment 8 Dave Allan 2011-09-07 15:13:31 UTC 
I was testing using a libvirt that I built myself, so perhaps that's the source of the difference.  This behavior was nearly 100% reproducible for me, so if you've tested it with the latest libvirt and it's not present, I think you can close as WORKSFORME.
Comment 9 Vivian Bian 2011-09-08 02:50:17 UTC 
According to comment 8 , close this bug as worksforme . Once this bug is encountered , we'll open it again
