[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1755912] Re: qemu-system-x86_64 crashed with SIGABRT when using option -vga qxl

["Leonardo Müller" <leozinho29_eu@hotmail.com>]

QEMU from git apparently is fixed, but Ubuntu's version is still
problematic.

Using an Xubuntu 18.04 guest, it's possible to reproduce the crash
using:

while true ; do xrandr --output Virtual-0 --mode 640x480 ; sleep 1 ;
xrandr --output Virtual-0 --mode 1280x720 ; sleep 1 ; xrandr --output
Virtual-0 --mode 1920x1080 ; sleep 1 ; done

In less than 20 seconds the guest crash with:

(process:16447): Spice-CRITICAL **: 15:34:52.047: display-channel.c:2035:display_channel_update: condition `display_channel_validate_surface(display, surface_id)' failed
Abortado (imagem do núcleo gravada)

Title:
  qemu-system-x86_64 crashed with SIGABRT when using option -vga qxl

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using qemu-system-x86_64 with the option -vga qxl, it crashes.
  The easiest way to crash it is by trying to change the guest's
  resolution. However, the system may randomly crash too, not happening
  only when changing resolution. Here is the terminal output of one of
  these random crashes:

  --------

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sdb -m 2048 -enable-kvm -cpu host -vga qxl -nodefaults -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,id=net0,netdev=hostnet0
  WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/dev/sdb' and probing guessed raw.
           Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
           Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

  --------

  I was running QEMU as a normal user which is on the groups kvm and
  disk. Initially I supposed the problem was because I was running QEMU
  as root, but as a normal user this happens too.

  I have tested with guests with different Ubuntu version: 18.04, 17.10
  and 16.04. It is happening with them all.
