It seems that virtio-console.vps[] is not initialized in virtio-console.c (gdb) r run -i linux-0.2.img -k ./vmlinuz-2.6.38-rc6+ -r ./initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6+ -p=init=1 -m 500 -c Starting program: /project/rh/kvm-tools/tools/kvm/kvm run -i linux-0.2.img -k ./vmlinuz-2.6.38-rc6+ -r ./initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6+ -p=init=1 -m 500 -c [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7fffd6e2d700 (LWP 19280)] Warning: request type 8 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000004026ca in virt_queue__available (vq=0x60d3c8) at include/kvm/virtio.h:31 31 return vq->vring.avail->idx != vq->last_avail_idx; (gdb) (gdb) bt #0 0x00000000004026ca in virt_queue__available (vq=0x60d3c8) at include/kvm/virtio.h:31 #1 0x00000000004027f7 in virtio_console__inject_interrupt (self=0x68f010) at virtio-console.c:71 #2 0x00000000004083b2 in handle_sigalrm (sig=14) at kvm-run.c:51 #3 <signal handler called> #4 0x00007ffff79bf283 in pthread_join () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #5 0x00000000004088bb in kvm_cmd_run (argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffdd18, prefix=0x0) at kvm-run.c:216 #6 0x000000000040834e in handle_command (command=0x7fffffffdbb0, argc=11, argv=0x7fffffffdd10) at kvm-cmd.c:55 #7 0x0000000000405bd5 in handle_kvm_command (argc=11, argv=0x7fffffffdd10) at main.c:16 #8 0x0000000000405bfe in main (argc=12, argv=0x7fffffffdd08) at main.c:21 (gdb) p *vq $2 = {vring = {num = 0, desc = 0x0, avail = 0x0, used = 0x0}, pfn = 0, last_avail_idx = 0} ------- I added the check of vq->vring.avail in virt_queue__available(), but it also failed. diff --git a/tools/kvm/include/kvm/virtio.h b/tools/kvm/include/kvm/virtio.h index 9f892a1..d3622b1 100644 --- a/tools/kvm/include/kvm/virtio.h +++ b/tools/kvm/include/kvm/virtio.h @@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ static inline struct vring_desc *virt_queue__get_desc(struct virt_queue *queue, static inline bool virt_queue__available(struct virt_queue *vq) { + if (!vq->vring.avail) + return -1; return vq->vring.avail->idx != vq->last_avail_idx; } (gdb) r run -i linux-0.2.img -k ./vmlinuz-2.6.38-rc6+ -r ./initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6+ -p=init=1 -m 500 -c Starting program: /project/rh/kvm-tools/tools/kvm/kvm run -i linux-0.2.img -k ./vmlinuz-2.6.38-rc6+ -r ./initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6+ -p=init=1 -m 500 -c [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7fffd6e2d700 (LWP 19434)] Warning: request type 8 Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception. 0x00000000004066cd in virt_queue__pop (queue=0x60d3c8) at include/kvm/virtio.h:21 21 return queue->vring.avail->ring[queue->last_avail_idx++ % queue->vring.num]; (gdb) bt #0 0x00000000004066cd in virt_queue__pop (queue=0x60d3c8) at include/kvm/virtio.h:21 #1 0x000000000040679c in virt_queue__get_iov (queue=0x60d3c8, iov=0x7fffffffcda0, out=0x7fffffffd5be, in=0x7fffffffd5bc, kvm=0x68f010) at virtio.c:21 #2 0x000000000040284b in virtio_console__inject_interrupt (self=0x68f010) at virtio-console.c:72 #3 0x00000000004083da in handle_sigalrm (sig=14) at kvm-run.c:51 #4 <signal handler called> #5 0x00007ffff79bf283 in pthread_join () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #6 0x00000000004088e3 in kvm_cmd_run (argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffdd18, prefix=0x0) at kvm-run.c:216 #7 0x0000000000408376 in handle_command (command=0x7fffffffdbb0, argc=11, argv=0x7fffffffdd10) at kvm-cmd.c:55 #8 0x0000000000405bfd in handle_kvm_command (argc=11, argv=0x7fffffffdd10) at main.c:16 #9 0x0000000000405c26 in main (argc=12, argv=0x7fffffffdd08) at main.c:21 (gdb) p *queue $2 = {vring = {num = 0, desc = 0x0, avail = 0x0, used = 0x0}, pfn = 0, last_avail_idx = 0} Amos. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
