      When do zero copy migration through exec, the qemu core dump during migration

       

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      host info: kernel-5.14.0-411.el9.x86_64 && qemu-kvm-8.2.0-3.el9.x86_64
      guest info: RHEL 9.4.0

       

      How reproducible:

      100%

       

      Steps to reproduce
      1. Boot a guest
      2. Stop the guest: 

      {"execute": "stop", "id": "li2cUdzQ"}

      3. Enable multifd and zero copy:  

      {"execute": "migrate-set-capabilities", "arguments": {"capabilities": [{"capability": "multifd", "state": true}]}, "id": "vfRx8k0c"}
      {"execute": "migrate-set-capabilities", "arguments": {"capabilities": [{"capability": "zero-copy-send", "state": true}]}, "id": "IjL8TblI"}
      
      

      4. Start zero copy migration through exec

      {"execute": "migrate", "arguments":{"uri": "exec:gzip -c > //home/ipa/STATEFILE.gz"}, "id": "IqbEdS0U"
      

       

       

      Expected results

      After step 4, get migration failed when send the migrate command or when query migrate status

       

      Actual results

      After step 4, the qemu core dump during migration

       

      Additional info:
      1. Also hit this issue on RHEL 9.4.0 aarch64
      2. As layered products don't support this scenario, so the user can't reproduce. But we need to fix the qemu core dump issue. so set the priority to be minor and add qe_no_customer_impact label.
