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 Sibiao Luo 2013-07-19 09:16:14 UTC
Description of problem:
when i transfer big size data from guest to host via virtconsole with TCP socket, but met guest calltrace and fail to complete transfer data when i do a second transfer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
2.6.32-398.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.378.el6.x86_64
guest info:
2.6.32-398.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
only hit once

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot guest with virtconsole via TCP socket.
e.g:...-device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=foo,host=localhost,port=12345,server,nowait -device virtconsole,chardev=foo,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm.1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1,nr=1
2.repeatly transfer big data from guest to host.
guest]# ls -lh guest-file 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0G Jul 17 19:10 guest-file
guest]# cat guest-file > /dev/hvc0
host ]# nc localhost 12345 >> recieve1
host ]# ls -lh recieve1
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0G Jul 19 17:01 recieve1

guest]# cat guest-file > /dev/hvc0
host ]# nc localhost 12345 >> recieve2

Actual results:
after step 2, fail to complete transfer and the guest side connection quit with 
'kernel:Disabling IRQ #11', and guest call trace.
# cat guest-file > /dev/hvc0

Message from syslogd@dhcp-8-219 at Jul 20 01:01:39 ...
 kernel:Disabling IRQ #11

# dmesg

handlers:

Disabling IRQ #11

Expected results:
it should no any call trace, it can complete transfer data successfully.

Comment 1 Sibiao Luo 2013-07-19 09:20:11 UTC
It can transfer character string successfully between host and guest via virtconsole with tcp socket.

host---->guest:
host ]# echo "sibiaoluo" | nc localhost 12345
host ]# echo "sibiaoluo" | nc localhost 12345
host ]# echo "sibiaoluo" | nc localhost 12345
host ]# echo "sibiaoluo" | nc localhost 12345
guest]# cat /dev/hvc0
sibiaoluo
sibiaoluo
sibiaoluo
sibiaoluo

guest---->host:
guest]# echo "sibiaoluo" > /dev/hvc0
guest]# echo "sibiaoluo" > /dev/hvc0
guest]# echo "sibiaoluo" > /dev/hvc0
guest]# echo "sibiaoluo" > /dev/hvc0
host ]# nc localhost 12345

Comment 2 Amit Shah 2013-07-19 09:39:41 UTC
virtconsole can't keep up with that speed of data.  Please only try console-based tests with virtconsole (login, ls, cat, etc.).  No use trying bulk data transfer tests.
