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.

Fixed In Version: virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-51
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
This was noticed by hot-unplugging a virtio console port and then plugging in a new one on the same number (re-using the vqs which were just 'disowned'). qemu reported 'Guest moved used index from 0 to 256' when any IO was attempted on the new port. When detaching a buffer from a vq, the avail.idx value should be decremented as well.

2.use script to transfer data from guest to guest (will attach the scripts)
for ((;;))
do
  python VirtioChannel.py 
done
3.listen the virtio-serial-port socket on the host
nc -U /tmp/tt1
4.Remove virtio-serial-port
(qemu)device_del channel0
5.host add the virito-serial-port
(qemu)device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm

Actual results:
Guest quit with "Guest move used index from 0 to 256"

Retried ,very easy to reproduce .
Comment 2 Ronen Hod 2012-01-23 22:48:44 UTC 
Seems to be identical to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781292.
The other bug is pure Linux, maybe better to close this one.

mst, any comments?
Comment 3 Vadim Rozenfeld 2012-01-24 08:06:36 UTC 
Seems like a different problem to me. 
Let me check this issue, before we 
move forward.

best,
Vadim.
Comment 5 Mike Cao 2012-03-19 08:50:26 UTC 
Raise the priority because half of the functional test cases for virtio serial is related to pci hot plug/unplug.

It's not urgent since hotplug of virtio-serial is not common so I deferred it to the next release. Please add technical notes to the issue

Comment 10 Ronen Hod 2012-07-10 09:04:39 UTC 
In work- need to test with the next version - in 2-3 weeks
Comment 11 Min Deng 2012-09-27 02:43:31 UTC 
I still can reproduce the issue on virtio-win-prewhql-35 on win7-32 OS.
Comment 12 Ronen Hod 2012-10-16 14:32:55 UTC 
Too late for such issue in RHEL6.4. Deferring to 6.5.
Comment 13 Ronen Hod 2012-10-16 14:39:23 UTC 
Maybe worth checking again since it seems since a related bug 801423 is fixed.
Comment 14 dawu 2012-10-17 10:01:43 UTC 
Checking latest build virtio-win-prewhql-41 on win7-32, still hit the issue.
Comment 16 dawu 2013-01-18 08:23:03 UTC 
Reproduce this bug with virtio-win-prewhql-41 on win7-32,verified this bug with virtio-win-prewhql-51 with steps as comment #0

Actually Results:
on version virtio-win-prewhql-41,qemu-kvm quit with "Guest move used index from 0 to 256"
on version virtio-win-prewhql-51, guest works well without any error.

Based on above, this issue has been fixed.

Thanks!
