[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1426472] [NEW] Recent regression: segfault on startup with -snapshot

[Andreas Gustafsson]

Public bug reported:

As of git revision 041ccc922ee474693a2869d4e3b59e920c739bc0, qemu
segfaults on startup when I try to boot a hard disk image with the
-snapshot option.

To reproduce:

  wget http://wiki.qemu.org/download/linux-0.2.img.bz2
  bunzip2 linux-0.2.img.bz2 
  qemu-system-i386 -hda linux-0.2.img -snapshot

When I run this, qemu-system-i386 crashes with a segmentation fault.
This is on a Debian 7 amd64 host.

git bisect implicates the following commit:

commit a464982499b2f637f6699e3d03e0a9d2e0b5288b
Author: Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden>
Date:   Wed Feb 11 17:15:18 2015 +0100

    rcu: run RCU callbacks under the BQL

    This needs to go away sooner or later, but one complication is the
    complex VFIO data structures that are modified in instance_finalize.
    Take a shortcut for now.
