Let me start by looking at the backtrace and the error messages. + +First, the backtrace shows that there's an assertion failure in memory.c:2424. The function `memory_region_get_ram_ptr` is called, but `mr->ram_block` is null, which means it didn't find the expected RAM block. That sounds like a problem with how memory regions are being managed in QEMU. + +Then, there's this error about not finding the KVM kernel module. Oh right, I think that happens when QEMU tries to use hardware virtualization (KVM) but can't load the KVM module. So it falls back to TCG, which is slower. Maybe the machine type 'pc-i440fx-rhel7.6.0' being deprecated could be causing issues with newer kernels or configurations. + +I also see a warning about the machine type being deprecated. That might not directly cause the assertion failure but could contribute to instability if there are compatibility issues. + +The user mentioned that these issues happen randomly in CI runs, especially when running tests in a loop for a few hours. So it's probably some kind of race condition or resource leak that only surfaces under heavy load. + +I should check if my QEMU/KVM setup is up to date. Maybe the version I'm using has known bugs related to memory management and KVM module loading. Updating to the latest version might fix these issues. + +Another thing to look into is whether there are enough resources (like RAM or CPU cores) available when running the tests. If the system is under heavy load, it might cause QEMU processes to fail or run out of necessary resources. + +I also need to make sure that KVM and its dependencies are properly installed and loaded. Maybe there's a permission issue where the user doesn't have access to the KVM module, causing it to fall back to TCG without proper handling. + +The assertion failure in memory.c suggests that somewhere in the code, a RAM block wasn't correctly initialized or was cleaned up improperly. This could be due to an error during VM setup or teardown of tests. + +Perhaps I can try running the tests with more debugging enabled or use valgrind to detect any memory issues. That might give me more clues about where things are going wrong in the QEMU process. + +In summary, the main points I need to address are: +1. Update QEMU and related packages to the latest versions. +2. Ensure KVM module is properly loaded and accessible. +3. Check system resources (CPU, RAM) during test runs. +4. Investigate any memory management issues in the tests or QEMU setup. +5. Consider running tests under a debugger or with additional logging to catch these errors when they occur. + +I'll start by updating my QEMU/KVM packages and see if that resolves the issue. If not, I'll look into system resource usage and test configurations for possible leaks or misconfigurations. +</think> + +To address the issues encountered with QEMU/KVM virtual machines failing due to assertion errors and KVM module access problems, follow these steps: + +### 1. Update QEMU and Related Packages +Ensure that your system has the latest version of QEMU/KVM installed to benefit from bug fixes and improvements. + +**Linux (apt-based):** +```bash +sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemons +``` + +**Linux (dnf-based):** +```bash +sudo dnf update qemu-kvm libvirt +``` + +### 2. Verify KVM Module Availability +Check if the KVM module is loaded and accessible. + +```bash +lsmod | grep kvm +``` +If it's not loaded, try: +```bash +sudo modprobe kvm +sudo modprobe kvm_intel # or kvm_amd for AMD users +``` + +### 3. Check System Resources +Ensure your system has sufficient resources when running VMs, especially under heavy load. + +- **Memory Usage:** + ```bash + free -h + ``` +- **CPU Load:** + Monitor with `top` or `htop`. +- **Zones and Nodes:** + ```bash + cat /proc/iomem + ``` + +### 4. Adjust QEMU Configuration +Optimize QEMU/KVM settings to prevent resource exhaustion. + +- Limit the number of VMs running concurrently. +- Increase memory allocated to libvirt if necessary: + Edit `/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf` and adjust `memlock.limit = "128000"` (if needed). + +### 5. Investigate Memory Management Issues +The assertion failure in `memory_region_get_ram_ptr` suggests a problem with RAM block initialization. + +- Ensure all memory regions are properly set up in your test environment. +- Check for any resource leaks or improper cleanup in your test scripts or VM setup. + +### 6. Run Tests Under Debugging Tools +Use tools like `valgrind` to detect memory issues: + +```bash +sudo valgrind --leak-check=full ./your_test_script.sh +``` + +### 7. Check Machine Type Compatibility +The deprecated machine type warning might indicate compatibility issues. Try using a supported machine type like `q35`. + +Modify your VM definition: +```xml +<type>q35</type> +``` +And set appropriate firmware: +```bash +virt-install --machine q35 ... +``` + +### 8. Log and Monitor Issues +Enable detailed logging for libvirtd and QEMU to capture errors during test runs. + +- Increase log verbosity in `/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf`: + ```bash + log_level = "debug" + log_file = "/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" + ``` +- Restart the service after changes: + ```bash + sudo systemctl restart libvirtd + ``` + +### 9. Consider Using a Different Virtualization Approach +If issues persist, try alternative virtualization methods like Virt-manager with better resource management. + +### Summary +By updating your software, ensuring KVM is properly loaded, monitoring system resources, and adjusting QEMU configurations, you can mitigate these failures. Additionally, using debugging tools will help identify specific issues within the VM setup process. \ No newline at end of file |
