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 Qunfang Zhang 2013-01-05 09:37:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
Enable xbzrle capability before migration and then migrate guest to a compressed file.  There will be a problem when resume/load the guest with -incoming "exec:gzip -c -d /tmp/STATEFILE.gz".

#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm .... -incoming "exec:gzip -c -d /tmp/STATEFILE.gz"
Warning: option deprecated, use lost_tick_policy property of kvm-pit instead.
QEMU 1.2.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) qemu: warning: error while loading state section id 2
load of migration failed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.6.0-0.29.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.2.0-21.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a guest

2. Enable xbzrle 
(qemu) migrate_set_capability xbzrle on    
(qemu) migrate_set_cache_size 2G

3. Migrate guest to file.
(qemu) migrate -d "exec:gzip -c > /tmp/STATEFILE.gz"

4. 
(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: on 
Migration status: completed
total time: 16334 milliseconds
transferred ram: 471991 kbytes
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 2113920 kbytes
duplicate: 412154 pages
normal: 117885 pages
normal bytes: 471540 kbytes
cache size: 1073741824 bytes
xbzrle transferred: 48 kbytes
xbzrle pages: 323 pages
xbzrle cache miss: 117391
xbzrle overflow : 494
(qemu) 
(qemu) info status 
VM status: paused (postmigrate)

5. Quit the command line.

6. Resume the guest by booting with the same command line but append -incoming "exec:gzip -c -d /tmp/STATEFILE.gz"


Actual results:
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm .... -incoming "exec:gzip -c -d /tmp/STATEFILE.gz"
Warning: option deprecated, use lost_tick_policy property of kvm-pit instead.
QEMU 1.2.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) qemu: warning: error while loading state section id 2
load of migration failed


Expected results:
Should be one of the following two options:
(1) If migrate guest to file with 'exec' protocol, then will not use xbzrle even it is enabled.
(2) Add new parameter for resuming the guest from a compressed file with xbzrle.

Comment 6 Qunfang Zhang 2014-02-19 09:32:48 UTC 
Verified pass on qemu-kvm-1.5.3-48.el7.x86_64. 

1. Boot up a guest on host. 

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -cpu SandyBridge -M pc -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name rhel6.4-64 -uuid 9a0e67ec-f286-d8e7-0548-0c1c9ec93009 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -monitor stdio -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -no-shutdown -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -drive file=/mnt/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:d5:51:8a,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=port1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=port2,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=3,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -vnc :10 -vga std -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0

2. Enable xbzrle and migrate guest to compressed file. 

(qemu) migrate_set_capability xbzrle on    
(qemu) migrate_set_cache_size 2G
(qemu) migrate -d "exec:gzip -c > /tmp/STATEFILE.gz"

3. Quit the command line after migration finished.  

(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: on x-rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: off zero-blocks: off 
Migration status: completed
total time: 11072 milliseconds
downtime: 56 milliseconds
setup: 4 milliseconds
transferred ram: 300219 kbytes
throughput: 268.57 mbps
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 2114264 kbytes
duplicate: 457838 pages
skipped: 0 pages
normal: 73904 pages
normal bytes: 295616 kbytes
cache size: 2147483648 bytes
xbzrle transferred: 0 kbytes
xbzrle pages: 26 pages
xbzrle cache miss: 3162
xbzrle overflow : 0
(qemu) info status 
VM status: paused (postmigrate)

4. Resume the guest by booting with the same command line but append -incoming "exec:gzip -c -d /tmp/STATEFILE.gz"

5. (qemu) info status 
VM status: paused (inmigrate)
(qemu) 
(qemu) [Thread 0x7fffebc39700 (LWP 11375) exited]
info status 
VM status: running

Finally, guest works well on the host and goes back to the point when saving to the compressed file. 

So this issue is fixed.
