[Qemu-devel] vhost-net thread getting stuck ?

[Chegu Vinod]

Hello,

'am running into an issue with the latest bits. [ Pl. see below. The 
vhost thread seems to be getting
stuck while trying to memcopy...perhaps a bad address?.  ] Wondering if 
this is a known issue or
some recent regression ?

'am using the latest qemu (from qemu.git) and the latest kvm.git kernel 
on the host. Started the
guest using the following command line....

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-cpu host \
-smp sockets=8,cores=10,threads=1 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-9,mem=64g \
-numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=10-19,mem=64g \
-numa node,nodeid=2,cpus=20-29,mem=64g \

-netdev tap,id=nic-0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no,vhost=on \
-vnc :4


Was just doing a basic kernel build in the guest when it hung with the 
following in the
dmesg of the host.

Thanks
