[Qemu-devel] Re: Network connections stalling (due to lost interrupts/ticks?)

[Charles Duffy]

Well, behavior with the patch applied is certainly different.

The large download I'm running still times out; however, it is now able
to resume without needing to bring the interface down and back up.
However, after the first timeout, subsequent timeouts occur with much
greater frequency -- still making this multi-GB download an
impracticality when using -net tap.

The flood ping is not killing the network connection, though it is
interrupted by frequent messages: "Warning: time of day goes back
(-23150us), taking countermeasures". (This is no the high end of the
time variances shown; the smallest are on the scale of 120us
