Description Nadav Har'El 2018-10-31 13:45:52 UTC

Trying "make check" on OSv (https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv), which runs a virtual machine with qemu/kvm as part of the build process, crashes on my Fedora 29 with qemu-kvm-3.0.0-1.fc29.x86_64, with the following message:


OSv v0.52.0-6-gea75831f
qemu-system-x86_64: /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-3.0.0/include/exec/memory_ldst_cached.inc.h:85: address_space_stw_le_cached: Assertion `addr < cache->len && 2 <= cache->len - addr' failed.
qemu failed.

The first line ("OSv...") shows the guest started running properly, but then crashed.

I suspect this is the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1795148 and according to that tracker, the bug was solved upstream and the fix could be backported.

Thanks for finding the upstream bug, I'll try backporting it

    virtio: update MemoryRegionCaches when guest negotiates features

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2018-10-31 18:09:08 UTC

Yes, it's that commit.  However f29 and rawhide builds are failing like this: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=30576602&volume=DEFAULT&name=build.log&offset=-4000

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2018-11-17 13:44:33 UTC

Comment 5 Nadav Har'El 2018-12-03 13:08:53 UTC

I can confirm that qemu-kvm-3.0.0-2.fc29, which I got from the testing repository, via "dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing qemu-kvm", fixes the bug.

Too bad that after two weeks, it still hasn't reached the main updates repository.

Comment 6 Paolo Bonzini 2018-12-03 13:53:21 UTC

I pushed it now.

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2018-12-04 03:01:46 UTC

qemu-3.0.0-2.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
