Description Sibiao Luo 2013-02-04 10:14:59 UTC

Description of problem:
this bug was same as bug 881585 (rhel6), but also hit it in rhel7.
do qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid will prompt {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}, but if remove the pm-utils from guest, this issue will disappear. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
kernel-3.7.0-0.34.el7
qemu-kvm-1.3.0-3.el7
guest info:
kernel-3.7.0-0.34.el7
pm-utils-1.4.1-22.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start guest with virtio-serial and start guest agent inside guest.
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc-1.3 -cpu Westmere -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name sluo-test -uuid 350e716b-5f98-4bf0-9a2a-c8e423295244 -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,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2 -drive file=/home/RHEL-Server-7.0-64-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-system-disk,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-system-disk,bus=scsi0.0,id=system-disk,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=virtio-net-pci0,mac=08:2E:5F:0A:0D:B1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,bootindex=2,event_idx=off -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=ballooning,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 -device usb-ehci,id=ehci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev1 -device usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,bus=ehci.0,debug=3 -k en-us -boot menu=on -qmp tcp:0:4444,server,nowait -serial unix:/tmp/ttyS0,server,nowait -vnc :1 -drive file=/home/floppy.vfd,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0,format=raw -global isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0 -drive file=/home/my-cdrom.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,format=raw,id=drive-ide1-0-1 -device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide1-0-1,id=ide1-0-1,bus=ide.0,unit=0 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/qga.sock,server,nowait,id=qga0 -device virtio-serial -device virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -monitor stdio
2.Connect the chardev socket in host side for sending commands to guest.
guest] # qemu-ga -m virtio-serial -p /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0
host ] # socat unix-connect:/tmp/qga.sock readline
3.send guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid command in the host side.

Actual results:
after step 3,
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-ram"}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-hybrid"}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-disk"}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

Expected results:
not any error output when do qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid.

Comment 1 Luiz Capitulino 2013-02-04 11:36:47 UTC

Just to confirm it's really the same issue, can you please do the following:

1. Re-install pm-utils
2. Try again and see it failing
3. Change SELinux to permissive mode:

 # setenforce 0

4. Try again and report the results

Comment 2 Luiz Capitulino 2013-02-04 11:37:53 UTC

Btw, steps 2 and 3 should be done in the guest.

Luiz, I don't know why i cann't reproduce this issue today with the same steps like comment #0, they are ok and no any error output when do qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid.

I aslo tried it as your indicate as following, it also ok and no any error when do qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid.
Steps:
1.Re-install pm-utils in guest.
2.Try again and see it failing.
3.Change SELinux to permissive mode in guest:
  # setenforce 0
4.Try again and report the results.

Results:
after step 2, not any error output when do qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid.
# socat unix-connect:/tmp/qga.sock readline
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-ram"}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-hybrid"}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-disk"}
# socat unix-connect:/tmp/qga.sock readline
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

after step 4, not any error output when do qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid.
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-ram"}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-hybrid"}
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-disk"}
# socat unix-connect:/tmp/qga.sock readline
{"execute":"guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}

Comment 4 Luiz Capitulino 2013-02-05 11:45:56 UTC

It's possible that it was something else. Unfortunately, the qemu-ga version we have in RHEL7.0 right now only prints GenericError so it's hard to know the error cause. Things will improve when we get proper error reporting in RHEL7.0.

I'll close this as NOTABUG. If you hit this again, please re-open.

Hi Luiz,
  
   I hit it again with the pm-utils RPM in guest useing the comment #0 steps.   
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm

{ "execute": "guest-suspend-ram"}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}

{ "execute": "guest-suspend-disk"}
[root@ibm-x3650m3-05 ~]# nc -U /tmp/qga.sock
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}
{"return": 1234}

Also tried your steps in the comment #1.

after step 2, hit it again,
[root@ibm-x3650m3-05 ~]# nc -U /tmp/qga.sock
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}

{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "An undefined error has occurred"}}

{ "execute": "guest-suspend-disk"}

> 4. Try again and report the results
after step 4, did not meet this issue with SELinux in permissive mode, it can do guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid successfully.
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}
{ "execute": "guest-suspend-hybrid"}

{ "execute": "guest-suspend-ram"}

{ "execute": "guest-suspend-disk"}
[root@ibm-x3650m3-05 ~]# nc -U /tmp/qga.sock
{"execute": "guest-sync", "arguments":{"id":1234}}
{"return": 1234}

Base on above, re-open this bug, please correct me if any error.

Comment 6 Luiz Capitulino 2013-02-18 13:20:53 UTC

Then it's most probably a SELinux issue, re-assigning.

Comment 7 Miroslav Grepl 2013-02-18 13:55:14 UTC

I need to backport all changes from RHEL6.

Comment 8 Luiz Capitulino 2013-02-18 14:12:42 UTC

Right, but note that this may be the same issue of bug 881585, which hasn't been fixed yet.

Comment 10 Michal Trunecka 2014-01-03 14:04:25 UTC

What was fixed here?

Comment 11 Miroslav Grepl 2014-01-06 11:52:22 UTC

(In reply to Michal Trunecka from comment #10)
> What was fixed here?

I back ported all changes from RHEL6

Comment 12 Sibiao Luo 2014-05-15 03:04:42 UTC

Verified this issue on the latest selinux-policy version with the same steps as comment #0 and comment #5 which the qemu-ga: guest-suspend-ram/disk/hybrid command works fine with SELinux in permissive and Enforcing mode.

host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7.x86_64

guest info:
3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
qemu-guest-agent-1.5.3-60.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-153.el7.noarch
pm-utils-1.4.1-26.el7.x86_64

Base on above, this issue has been fixed correctly.

Best Regards,
sluo
