Hi Vladimir,

I wonder if you have a new version of your patch ("qmp-cont: invalidate
on RUN_STATE_PRELAUNCH").

Hailiang Zhang tells me on this the below thread that your patch fixes
the issue:

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-04/msg03925.html
  -- [QEMU-2.8] Source QEMU crashes with: "bdrv_co_pwritev: Assertion
  `!(bs->open_flags & BDRV_O_INACTIVE)' failed"
