I don't see the difference.An ACPI shutdown is triggered by an authenticated user inside of the guest. The present exit is triggered by any other anonymous user on the network, with the ability to send a lot of packets very quickly to the VM guest. The guest isn't able to handle this properly (and rightly that guest's kernel should be fixed). But I do see a difference.
Well the problem is triggered by the guest kernel writing garbage to virtio-net's backend. That's why we're suggesting it's really a guest kernel issue.
If the guest kernel writes something bad to qemu, we're may kill the guest. That's not a qemu bug, it's the designed behavior.
