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 Qian Guo 2013-06-26 06:13:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
Boot guest w/ multi-queues nic, if assign option vhostfds, qemu-kvm will quit w/ Segmentation fault (core dumped)  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r
3.10.0-0.rc6.62.el7.x86_64

qemu-kvm version:
# rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.5.0-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce
1.Boot guest w/ multi-queues nic, and assign option vhostfds:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -cpu Penryn -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 4.sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -name rhel6u3c2 -drive file=/home/rhel7/rhel7.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-disk0,format=qcow2,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,addr=0x4 -device scsi-hd,scsi-id=0,lun=0,bus=scsi0.0,drive=drive-scsi0-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,queues=4,vhostfds=21:22:23:34 -device virtio-net-pci,mq=on,vectors=9,netdev=hostnet0,mac=54:52:1b:35:3c:18,id=test -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0 -vnc :10 -vga std -boot menu=on -monitor stdio -serial unix:/tmp/qiguo1,server,nowait

3.

Actual results:
Segmentation fault (core dumped) 


Expected results:
qemu-kvm should not launch, but print a warning error, not a segmentation fault

Comment 6 Qian Guo 2013-12-31 01:51:56 UTC 
Reproduced this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.0-2.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1.Launch qemu with w/ multi-queues nic, and assign option vhostfds:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -cpu Penryn -enable-kvm -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,queues=4,vhostfds=21:22:23:34 -device virtio-net-pci,mq=on,vectors=9,netdev=hostnet0,mac=54:52:1b:35:3c:18,id=test

Result: qemu coredumpd:

(gdb) bt

So according to above, this bug is reproduced

Verify this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-30.el7.x86_64

Steps as reproducer

Result: can not launch qemu successfully, qemu quit with prompt:
vhostfds= is invalid if fds= wasn't specified
qemu-kvm: -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,queues=4,vhostfds=21:22:23:34: Device 'tap' could not be initialized


So according to above, this bug is fixed by qemu-kvm-1.5.3-30.el7.x86_64
