From: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> With pseries machine type a negative core-id is not managed properly: -1 gives an inaccurate error message ("core -1 already populated"), -2 crashes QEMU (core dump)
As it seems a negative value is invalid for any architecture, instead of checking this in spapr_core_pre_plug() I think it's better to check this in the generic part, core_prop_set_core_id() Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20170802103259.25940-1-lviv...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Greg Kurz <gr...@kaod.org> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <da...@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Reviewed-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabk...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabk...@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit be2960baae07e5257cde8c814cbd91647e235147) Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdr...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- hw/cpu/core.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/hw/cpu/core.c b/hw/cpu/core.c index 2bf960d..bd578ab 100644 --- a/hw/cpu/core.c +++ b/hw/cpu/core.c @@ -33,6 +33,11 @@ static void core_prop_set_core_id(Object *obj, Visitor *v, const char *name, return; } + if (value < 0) { + error_setg(errp, "Invalid core id %"PRId64, value); + return; + } + core->core_id = value; } -- 2.7.4
