Hi,
we recently came across multiple VMs racing and stopping working. It
seems to happen when the system is at 100% cpu.
One way to reproduce this is:
qemu-kvm-1.0.1 with vnc-thread enabled
cmdline (or similar):
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm-1.0.1 -net
tap,vlan=141,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=tap15,vnet_hdr -net
nic,vlan=141,model=virtio,macaddr=52:54:00:ff:00:f7 -drive
format=host_device,file=/dev/mapper/iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-efdf4e007-16700198c7f4fead-02-debug-race-hd01,if=virtio,cache=none,aio=native
-m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 -monitor
tcp:0:4026,server,nowait -vnc :26 -qmp tcp:0:3026,server,nowait -name
02-debug-race -boot order=dc,menu=off -cdrom
/home/kvm/cdrom//root/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso -k de -pidfile
/var/run/qemu/vm-221.pid -mem-prealloc -cpu
host,+x2apic,model_id=Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5640 @
2.27GHz,-tsc -rtc base=utc -usb -usbdevice tablet -no-hpet -vga cirrus
it is important that the attached virtio image contains only zeroes. if
the system boots from cd, select boot from first harddisk.
the hypervisor then hangs at 100% cpu and neither monitor nor qmp are
responsive anymore.
i have also seen customers reporting this when a VM is shut down.
if this is connected to the threaded vnc server it might be important to
connected at this time.
debug backtrace attached.
Thanks,
Peter
