[Qemu-devel] virtio-blk-test failure

[John Snow]

I've been seeing this failure pop up very occasionally and I can usually 
get the test to pass again by just re-running, but every now and again:

GTESTER check-qtest-x86_64

I wrote a test loop that runs virtio-blk-test over and over again in a 
loop and saw it fail after 137 runs.

It looks like the culprit is /virtio/blk/pci/msix; if you run only that 
test it could take anywhere from 20-250 runs before you see it fail.

I only did a little bit of debugging, but the QMP command that 
immediately precedes the wait_config_isr call here appears to execute 
successfully.

Any hunches, Marc?
