[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1679126] Re: null pointer access on migration resume of systemrescuecd boot menu with qxl-vga

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

Yep, I can repeat this here on qemu head; crash at:

pixman_image_get_data (image=0x0) at pixman-image.c:845
845         if (image->type == BITS)

(gdb) p image
$1 = (pixman_image_t *) 0x0

Title:
  null pointer access on migration resume of systemrescuecd boot menu
  with qxl-vga

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With qemu-2.8.0 up to 2.9.0-rc2 and git master (6954cdc), when
  resuming from a migration state file created from a VM suspended while
  showing the System Rescue CD 4.9.2 boot menu and using the QXL VGA
  device, I get a null point access in pixman_image_get_data called from
  qemu_spice_create_update (spice-display.c:215).  When I added
  assert(ssd->mirror != NULL) above that line, assert failed.  I don't
  get the crash when using standard VGA or cirrus-vga.  I am using
  gcc-4.9.3 on Gentoo x86_64 with Intel i7-4700HQ CPU and kernel:
  4.9.15-gentoo.

  Here is the valgrind trace from the git version:

  Minimal steps to reproduce:

  Compile (debug compile flags are just so valgrind works, the crash occurs 
with non-debug compile flags as well):
  CFLAGS="-g -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g -O0" ./configure 
--target-list=i386-softmmu,x86_64-softmmu
  ./configure
  make

  Start VM and leave it on the System Rescue CD graphical boot menu:
  x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -machine pc -drive 
file=systemrescuecd-x86-4.9.2.iso,if=none,id=cdrom-cd,readonly=on -device 
ide-cd,bus=ide.0,drive=cdrom-cd,bootindex=1 -device qxl-vga -monitor 
unix:monitor.sock,server,nowait -display gtk

  Suspend VM and save state:
  socat - unix:monitor.sock
    stop
    migrate "exec:cat > vm.state"
    quit

  Attempt to resume VM (but this crashes):
  x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -machine pc -drive 
file=systemrescuecd-x86-4.9.2.iso,if=none,id=cdrom-cd,readonly=on -device 
ide-cd,bus=ide.0,drive=cdrom-cd,bootindex=1 -device qxl-vga -monitor 
unix:monitor.sock,server,nowait -display gtk -incoming exec:"cat vm.state"
