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 Peter Krempa 2013-07-30 15:33:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
qemu-kvm crashes when trying to hotplug the 161th cpu.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.382.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-21.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a guest with 1 actual cpu and 161+ possible vCPUs
when using libvirt:
<vcpu placement='static' current='1'>162</vcpu>

2. hotplug 160 more cpus into the guest
when using libvirt-0.10.2-21.el6.x86_64 (this version has the limit of maximum cpus removed)

virsh setvcpus --live domainname 161

or

use monitor manually.

3. qemu-kvm exits on signal 6

Actual results:
qemu-kvm crashes

Expected results:
qemu-kvm will reject hotplug of the cpu with an error

(full backtrace has a lot of threads waiting in do_sigtimedwait, I can attach it if needed)

Hi, Peter
FYI, this bug should be the same issue with bug 989439 which is closed as WONTFIX.

Hmm, right. Bugzilla didn't show it as a possible duplicate. As libvirt won't support hotplugging more than 160 cpus in rhel 6 I'm closing this as a duplicate of said bug.
