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.

Fixed In Version: spice-server-0.12.4-7.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The spice-server assumed that the client is connected until it gets disconnected Consequence: When the client becomes unresponsive, e.g. suspended or network cable is out, the server continue trying communicating with it. Queues (such as driver commands ring) got filled, and the guest display driver got stuck (waiting for something to get free -- not sure we should mention this). Fix: The spice-server now monitors if the spice client is responsive, and disconnect if it's not. Result: If a spice client is unresponsive, the spice server disconnects it.

Description Yonit Halperin 2013-08-06 16:09:05 UTC
Description of problem:

When the client doesn't disconnect explicitly from the server, e.g., when a Windows client with an open spice-client session moves to Sleep mode,
spice server doesn't identify that the client disconnected.
The implication is that the server keeps trying to send messages to the client,  the driver commands ring can get filled (since we don't manage to send messages to the client), and the display driver on the guest side is stuck (WaitForCmdRing).



How reproducible:
1) Connect to spice-server
2) move the client to sleep mode (maybe disconnecting the network cable will also work)

You can see in the server log file, that the client hasn't been disconnected.
