[Qemu-devel] ARM guest network issue

[Christoffer Dall]

When using tap networking with a Linux 2.6.29 kernel I experience that 
the guest network crashes after submitting a certain amount of data.

When transferring say 50MB using scp into the guest, it will halt 
somewhere before transferring everything.

Afterwards, I cannot even ping localhost inside the guest. The recvfrom 
system call returns ERESTARTSYS when waiting for data to read from a 
socket buffer, but there is never any data. From the strace output it 
seems that the sendto system call succeeds as it should.

I am using the latest upstream QEMU version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
