Sorry for resurrecting this thread after so long but I just upgraded the host to Qemu 3.1 and libvirt 4.10 and I'm still facing this problem. At the moment I cannot use virtio disks (virtio-blk nor virtio-scsi) with my guests in order to avoid this issue so as a workaround I'm using SATA emulated storage which is not ideal but is perfectly stable. Do you have any suggestions on how can I progress troubleshooting? Qemu is not crashing so I don't have any dumps that can be analyzed. The guest is just "stuck" and all I can do is destroy it and start it again. It's really frustrating that after all this time I couldn't find the cause for this issue so any ideas are welcome.

Hi Fernando, Please post your QEMU command-line (ps aux | grep qemu) and the details of the guest operating system and version. Stefan
