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 Eric Blake 2013-01-23 16:09:51 UTC 
Cloning to RHEL

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #903184 +++

Description of problem:

libvirt compiled from git (55bfd020d8d9de40977832c4762728090df2bee3).

Run the daemon like this:

$ ./run gdb --args ./daemon/libvirtd --timeout 30

Run libguestfs-test-tool against this daemon so that a single
transient guest is created and destroyed.

Wait 30 seconds for libvirtd to timeout and exit.

Happened 3 times for me.

Yep, I've just seen that problem too & am investigating it

--- Additional comment from Daniel Berrange on 2013-01-23 05:25:17 MST ---

Oh btw the problem likely exists in previous libvirt, but we were missing the virStateCleanup call for a few releases, which would have avoided triggering the problem

Fixed in GIT with

commit abbec81bd0c9bf917f2c63045222734d7e4411fb

    Fix nwfilter driver reload/shutdown handling when unprivileged
    
    Although the nwfilter driver skips startup when running in a
    session libvirtd, it did not skip reload or shutdown. This
    caused errors to be reported when sending SIGHUP to libvirtd,
    and caused an abort() in libdbus on shutdown due to trying
    to remove a dbus filter that was never added

I'm backporting this to v0.10.2-maint, and leaving it in POST until F18 picks up the fix.
Comment 1 Eric Blake 2013-01-23 16:14:47 UTC 
I've confirmed that the bug was introduced in v0.10.0 (commit f8ab364), and therefore RHEL 6.4 is vulnerable.  However, the bug is masked by the fact that we don't clean up properly, so I'm not sure how urgent it is to backport a fix.  The backport would consist of the following patches (already upstream, and also in upstream v0.10.2-maint):

aafe419 - drop dead code introduced in commit f8ab364
47e1767 - expose the latent problem
abbec81 - fix the actual bug
Comment 3 Eric Blake 2013-01-23 16:28:43 UTC 
I can't see anything critical to clean up during virStateCleanup(), and without that patch, we don't crash; so I think this patch is not urgent, and best picked up in 6.5.  Since we will rebase for 6.5, I'm moving this to post.
