In src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, coverity reports this:
Event negative_return_fn: Called negative-returning function "lseek(logfile,
0L, 2)"
Event var_assign: NEGATIVE return value of "lseek" assigned to signed
variable "pos"
At conditional (1): "(pos = lseek(logfile, 0L, 2)) < 0" taking true path
2877 if ((pos = lseek(logfile, 0, SEEK_END)) < 0)
2878 VIR_WARN(_("Unable to seek to end of logfile: %s"),
2879 virStrerror(errno, ebuf, sizeof ebuf));
since later in that same function, a negative "pos" may
be used like this:
Event negative_returns: Tracked variable "pos" was passed to a negative sink.
[details]
2930 if (qemudWaitForMonitor(conn, driver, vm, pos) < 0)
2931 goto abort;
2932
which is a legitimate problem, since
qemudWaitForMonitor calls qemudLogReadFD, which calls lseek
with that same "pos" value:
Event neg_sink_parm_call: Parameter "pos" passed to negative sink "lseek"
560 if (lseek(fd, pos, SEEK_SET) < 0) {
561 virReportSystemError(conn, errno,
562 _("Unable to seek to %lld in %s"),
563 (long long) pos, logfile);
564 close(fd);
565 }
One approach is to detect the negative offset in that final bit
of code and skip the lseek:

Subject: [PATCH] avoid a probable EINVAL from lseek
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudLogReadFD): Don't pass a negative
offset (from a preceding failed attempt to seek to EOF) to this use
of lseek.
