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.

Comment 2 juzhang 2013-02-04 09:57:47 UTC
Can reproduce this issue by using qemu-kvm-355.

Steps:
1. boot guest with e1000(netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=e100-1,mac=2C:41:38:B6:40:44,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,bootindex=2 )

#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu SandyBridge,+sep -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name test-sluo -uuid bef435d2-6d6d-4faf-9936-bc02ac89082a -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,

2. In guest
#reboot

Result
Guest lose ip.


Additional infos:
1. This issue can not be reproduced by using qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.344.el6.x86_64. This issue should be introduced from bz890288.

2. This issue can not be reproduced if KVM QE uses "system_reset" instead of "reboot" in guest.
2.1 In guest#reboot  Reproduced ratio : 3/3  
2.2 (qemu)system_reset Reproduced ratio : 0/3

Hi Jason/Mst

Would you please have a look this comment? What's the difference between "issue reboot command in guest" and "issue system_reset"? Why the "issue reboot command in guest" can reproduce this issue 100%, however, "issue system_reset" can not? Thanks.

Best Regards & Thanks,
Junyi

Comment 4 Michael S. Tsirkin 2013-02-04 10:24:27 UTC
I am guessing you need a longer time between system reset commands.
reboot from guest adds delay since guest needs to boot.

Ok, KVM QE will have a try this method as well.

This issue can be reproduced as well if KVM QE repeatedly resets by using system_rest guest with random timing by script.

*** Bug 908077 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 21 Shaolong Hu 2013-08-01 09:00:52 UTC
Test with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.381.el6.x86_64:

With steps in comment 2, pass.

Also do extra test during verifiying:

Bug 907716 - use set_link to change rtl8139 and e1000 network card's status but fail to make effectively after reboot guest

Test result is in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907716#c26

All pass, based on above, i am willing to test this one verified.
