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:

-readconfig with a non-existed file won't prompt any error, qemu-kvm exists quietly.

How reproducible:

100%

Fixed upstream.  Is this important enougth to backport to rhel6?
I'm tempted to just move this to rhel7.

Agree. Please add a link to the commit or a copy/paste of the SHA1 + changelog and then move this bug to ON_QA.

Fixed upstream.

Verify this issue using the following version:
kernel-3.10.0-67.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64

Steps to verification
1. Read a non-existing config file
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -readconfig aaa.txt

Actual results:
qemu-kvm quits with error information:
read config aaa.txt: No such file or directory

Based on the above results, I think this bug has been fixed.
