It was introduced by commit 7a51d9ebb, which started to use monitor commands without job acquiring, which is unsafe and leads to simultaneous access to vm->mon structure by different threads. Crash backtrace is the following (shortened): Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. qemuMonitorSend (mon=mon@entry=0x7f4ef4000d20, msg=msg@entry=0x7f4f18e78640) at qemu/qemu_monitor.c:1011 1011 while (!mon->msg->finished) { 0 qemuMonitorSend () at qemu/qemu_monitor.c:1011 1 0x00007f691abdc720 in qemuMonitorJSONCommandWithFd () at qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c:298 2 0x00007f691abde64a in qemuMonitorJSONCommand at qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c:328 3 qemuMonitorJSONQueryCPUs at qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c:1408 4 0x00007f691abcaebd in qemuMonitorGetCPUInfo g@entry=false) at qemu/qemu_monitor.c:1931 5 0x00007f691ab96863 in qemuDomainRefreshVcpuHalted at qemu/qemu_domain.c:6309 6 0x00007f691ac0af99 in qemuDomainGetStatsVcpu at qemu/qemu_driver.c:18945 7 0x00007f691abef921 in qemuDomainGetStats at qemu/qemu_driver.c:19469 8 qemuConnectGetAllDomainStats at qemu/qemu_driver.c:19559 9 0x00007f693382e806 in virConnectGetAllDomainStats at libvirt-domain.c:11546 10 0x00007f6934470c40 in remoteDispatchConnectGetAllDomainStats at remote.c:6267 (gdb) p mon->msg $1 = (qemuMonitorMessagePtr) 0x0 This change fixes it by calling qemuDomainRefreshVcpuHalted only when job is acquired.
