Title:
vCPU hot-add makes the guest abort
Status in QEMU:

qemu-kvm Commit:a212f79fc4596570124fb864425b980c157cd001
Host Kernel Version:3.5.0-rc1
Hardware:Romley-EP, WSM-EP
Bug detailed description:
--------------------------
Hot-add vcpu for a guest in qemu monitor will make the guest abort. (QEMU
process is killed.)
After Hot-removing vcpu for the guest in qemu monitor, the guest will be
still alive but the the number of vCPU in the guest doesn't decrease.
Reproduce steps:
----------------
Hot-add vCPU:
1.start up a host with kvm (commit: ae7a2a3f)and qemu-kvm(commit: a212f79f..)
2.qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 4,maxvcpus=10 –hda /root/rhel6u3.qcow
3. ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/ (to check CPUs in guest)
4. ctrl+alt+2 (swith to qemu monitor)
5. cpu_set 5 online
Hot-remove vCPU:
1.start up a host with kvm (commit: ae7a2a3f) and qemu-kvm(commit: a212f79f..)
2.qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 4,maxvcpus=10 –hda /root/rhel6u3.qcow
3. ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/ (to check CPUs in guest)
4. ctrl+alt+2 (swith to qemu monitor)
5. cpu_set 2 offline
6. ctrl+alt+1
7. ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/ (to check CPUs in guest)
Current result:
----------------
vCPU hot-add will cause guest abort.
vCPU hot-remove doesn't decrease the number of vCPU in guest.
Expected result:
----------------
The number of the guest’s cpu changes as we expect.
Basic root-causing log:
