[ Christian Ehrhardt ]

Nice, thanks Leonardo for the Bisect - lets call upstream Fixed
Committed then (as there is no 2.13 released yet).

For the separate gl discussion feel free to subscribe/chime in on bug
1657409

Currently 2.12 is on its way into Cosmic.
I'll add and test that patch afterwards, it looks small and safe to me.

** Changed in: qemu
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Tags added: qemu-18.10 server-next

Title:
  qemu-system-x86_64 crashed with SIGABRT when using option -vga qxl

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Committed
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When using qemu-system-x86_64 with the option -vga qxl, it crashes.
  The easiest way to crash it is by trying to change the guest's
  resolution. However, the system may randomly crash too, not happening
  only when changing resolution. Here is the terminal output of one of
  these random crashes:

  --------

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sdb -m 2048 -enable-kvm -cpu host -vga qxl 
-nodefaults -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device 
virtio-net-pci,id=net0,netdev=hostnet0
  WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/dev/sdb' and probing guessed 
raw.
           Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, 
write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
           Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

  --------

  I was running QEMU as a normal user which is on the groups kvm and
  disk. Initially I supposed the problem was because I was running QEMU
  as root, but as a normal user this happens too.

  I have tested with guests with different Ubuntu version: 18.04, 17.10
  and 16.04. It is happening with them all.
