Over the last two months, since our last round of patching, we have
experienced several libvirt guests crashing with this in the qemu log:

qemu-kvm: /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2/qemu-char.c:630:
io_watch_poll_finalize: Assertion `iwp->src == ((void *)0)' failed.

This appears to be the same problem being experienced by a user who has
filed bugs against QEMU and CentOS:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6928
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1268671

Our software versions are:

libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6_4.14.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6.x86_64

We have not successfully determined what seems to prompt the crash. The
guests are running in different hardware and dedicated to different tasks
(DNS server, MySQL server, hosting a jboss application, etc).  Out of a
population of a few hundred servers we seem to get about one crash a week,
apparently randomly.

I can't find any evidence that the problem is being worked on - is anyone
else experiencing this issue since the last round of updates to 6.4, and if
so, have you discovered a workaround or solution?

I appreciate any insight  anyone can provide.

Adrian
