[Bug 1650067] Re: qemu core dumps when unable to allocate ram for new virtual machine

[Billy Olsen]

The commit in question was included in 2.5 Qemu stream, so I've
nominated for Mitaka (to mark fix released), Liberty, Kilo. Still need
to determine if this is an issue in the Trusty packages. If so, then we
need to raise an Ubuntu task to get it fixed there prior to be included
in the precise-icehouse cloud-archive.

Title:
  qemu core dumps when unable to allocate ram for new virtual machine

Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive:
  New

Bug description:
  Qemu available in the kilo-staging cloud archive will cause an abort
  which will generate a core dump, if there is not enough memory
  available to satisfy creation of the new Virtual Machine.

  This becomes more critical if this happens over and over in highly
  resource constrained environments, as the core dumps start filling up
  the disk.

  This is resolved with upstream commit
  f8ed85ac992c48814d916d5df4d44f9a971c5de4

  I'm opening this case, while I decide if it's worthwhile to re-spin
  qemu to fix this issue.
