I've noticed a SIGSEGV-ing libvirtd on the destination when the qemu died too quickly = in Prepare phase. What is happening here is: 1) [Thread 3493] We are in qemuMigrationPrepareAny() and calling qemuProcessStart() which subsequently calls qemuProcessWaitForMonitor() and qemuConnectMonitor(). So far so good. The qemuMonitorOpen() succeeds, however switching monitor to QMP mode fails as qemu died meanwhile. That is qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() returns -1. 2013-10-08 15:54:10.629+0000: 3493: debug : qemuMonitorSetCapabilities:1356 : mon=0x14a53da0 2013-10-08 15:54:10.630+0000: 3493: debug : qemuMonitorJSONCommandWithFd:262 : Send command '{"execute":"qmp_capabilities","id":"libvirt-1"}' for write with FD -1 2013-10-08 15:54:10.630+0000: 3493: debug : virEventPollUpdateHandle:147 : EVENT_POLL_UPDATE_HANDLE: watch=17 events=13 ... 2013-10-08 15:54:10.631+0000: 3493: debug : qemuMonitorSend:956 : QEMU_MONITOR_SEND_MSG: mon=0x14a53da0 msg={"execute":"qmp_capabilities","id":"libvirt-1"} fd=-1 2013-10-08 15:54:10.631+0000: 3262: debug : virEventPollRunOnce:641 : Poll got 1 event(s) 2) [Thread 3262] The event loop is trying to do the talking to monitor. However, qemu is dead already, remember? 2013-10-08 15:54:13.436+0000: 3262: error : qemuMonitorIORead:551 : Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer 2013-10-08 15:54:13.516+0000: 3262: debug : virFileClose:90 : Closed fd 25 ... 2013-10-08 15:54:13.533+0000: 3493: debug : qemuMonitorSend:968 : Send command resulted in error internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem: 3) [Thread 3493] qemuProcessStart() failed. No big deal. Go to the 'endjob' label and subsequently to the 'cleanup'. Since the domain is not persistent and ret is -1, the qemuDomainRemoveInactive() is called. This has an (unpleasant) effect of virObjectUnref()-in the @vm object. Unpleasant because the event loop which is about to trigger EOF callback still holds a pointer to the @vm (not the reference). See the valgrind output below. 4) [Thread 3262] So the even loop starts triggering EOF: 2013-10-08 15:54:13.542+0000: 3262: debug : qemuMonitorIO:729 : Triggering EOF callback 2013-10-08 15:54:13.543+0000: 3262: debug : qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF:294 : Received EOF on 0x14549110 'migt10' And the monitor is cleaned up. This results in calling qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF with the @vm pointer passed. The pointer is kept in qemuMonitor struct. ==3262== Thread 1: ==3262== Invalid read of size 4 ==3262== at 0x77ECCAA: pthread_mutex_lock (in /lib64/libpthread-2.15.so) ==3262== by 0x52FAA06: virMutexLock (virthreadpthread.c:85) ==3262== by 0x52E3891: virObjectLock (virobject.c:320) ==3262== by 0x11626743: qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF (qemu_process.c:296) ==3262== by 0x11642593: qemuMonitorIO (qemu_monitor.c:730) ==3262== by 0x52BD526: virEventPollDispatchHandles (vireventpoll.c:501) ==3262== by 0x52BDD49: virEventPollRunOnce (vireventpoll.c:648) ==3262== by 0x52BBC68: virEventRunDefaultImpl (virevent.c:274) ==3262== by 0x542D3D9: virNetServerRun (virnetserver.c:1112) ==3262== by 0x11F368: main (libvirtd.c:1513) ==3262== Address 0x14549128 is 24 bytes inside a block of size 136 free'd ==3262== at 0x4C2AF5C: free (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==3262== by 0x529B1FF: virFree (viralloc.c:580) ==3262== by 0x52E3703: virObjectUnref (virobject.c:270) ==3262== by 0x531557E: virDomainObjListRemove (domain_conf.c:2355) ==3262== by 0x1160E899: qemuDomainRemoveInactive (qemu_domain.c:2061) ==3262== by 0x1163A0C6: qemuMigrationPrepareAny (qemu_migration.c:2450) ==3262== by 0x1163A923: qemuMigrationPrepareDirect (qemu_migration.c:2626) ==3262== by 0x11682D71: qemuDomainMigratePrepare3Params (qemu_driver.c:10309) ==3262== by 0x53B0976: virDomainMigratePrepare3Params (libvirt.c:7266) ==3262== by 0x1502D3: remoteDispatchDomainMigratePrepare3Params (remote.c:4797) ==3262== by 0x12DECA: remoteDispatchDomainMigratePrepare3ParamsHelper (remote_dispatch.h:5741) ==3262== by 0x54322EB: virNetServerProgramDispatchCall (virnetserverprogram.c:435) The mon->vm is set in qemuMonitorOpenInternal() which is the correct place to increase @vm ref counter.
