[Qemu-devel] [Bug 855633] Re: guest boots up too slowly

[Yongjie Ren]

I found this bug in memory/queue branch of qemu.git on September 21st.
As some codes in memory branch were merged into master branch, the
master tree of qemu.git also has this issue now.

** Description changed:

- qemu.git commit: 6cc7686696f73ae87cadef4450776a488b0e0c8b
+ qemu.git (memory/queue branch) commit: 
6cc7686696f73ae87cadef4450776a488b0e0c8b
+ or qemu.git (master branch) commit: 8843cf40c0f482949e6ae9d0119e45d6b96fe890
  kvm.git commit: 7f914d61cd2156e34a7852462bb4932621f33a34
  
- It will costs about 180 seconds to booting up a rhel6 guest. But when I
- use qemu-kvm.git with commit a040d28b, the rhel6 guest can boot up in
- about 50 seconds.  I did the comparative test in the same box and using
- the same command line to create a guest  BTW, I tested qemu-kvm.git not
- qemu.git before kernel.org was down.
+ It will costs about 180 seconds to booting up a rhel6 guest. But when I use 
qemu.git with commit edbb7c0, the rhel6 guest can boot up in about 50 seconds.  
I did the comparative test in the same box and using the same command line to 
create a guest.
+ I found this bug in memory/queue branch of qemu.git on September 21st. As

  Reproduce steps:
  ----------------
- 1. to create a guest: qemu-system-x86_64  -m 1024 -smp 2 /root/rhel6.img
+ 1.with latest qemu.git master tree, to create a guest: qemu-system-x86_64  -m 
1024 -smp 2 -hda /root/rhel6.img
  (It maybe cost about 180 seconds to boot up.)
