[Qemu-devel] NBD broken ?

[Laurent Vivier]

Hi,

since commit ae255e523, qemu with NBD hangs at startup (when it tries to
access the disk):

commit ae255e523c256cf0708f1c16cb946ff96340a800

    nbd: switch to asynchronous operation
    
    Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden>


Reverting this patch corrects the problem.

My system is an Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 (But the bug is also seen on RHEL6).

qemu is configured only with "--target-list=x86_64-softmmu".

My test case is:

./qemu-nbd -k /tmp/nbd-socket -t /ISO/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd-socket

Same problem with a TCP socket, with/without KVM, with an x86_64 guest, with 
-hda...
