Public bug reported:
Summary:
After upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04, when attempting to start a Win7 VM whose
state was saved via 'virsh managedsave', the VM will generate a bsod in
qxldd.sys.
Base Config:
Ubuntu 18.04
qemu-kvm_1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.9
Win7 VM
qxldd.sys v.6.1.0.10024 (via
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-0.141/spice-guest-tools-0.141.exe)
Broken:
libspice-server1_0.14.0-1ubuntu2.4
Working (but using older package):
libspice-server1_0.12.6-4ubuntu0.3
Detail:
>From my own research, I learned that there appears to be a problem in
>libspice-server (0.14.0-1) whereby memory is not managed properly between the
>spice agent/server and qemu
>(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1540919#c18 and
>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1540919#c34). Older versions of
>libspice-server (0.12.8) were not affected
>(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1540919#c25).
RedHat appeared to fix this problem (ref:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1567944) by releasing a
newer version of the spice server library
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1567944) - 0.14.0-2 - with
RHEL 7.5 via RHBA-2018:1378
(https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3461871). Their version of this
package is spice-0.14.0-2.el7_5.3, or later.
I was able to work around the problem by reverting to the latest version
of libspice-server1 used with Ubuntu 16.04 (libspice-
server1_0.12.6-4ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb) via 'sudo apt install -f' and
pinning this version of the package in apt via 'sudo apt-mark hold
libspice-server1'.
I'm *guessing* that we need a newer version of libspice-server1 compiled
from at least the commit/tag that RedHat used when creating binaries for
their package to address this.
