[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1013467] [NEW] network in bridge mode doesn't work in SMP Linux guest

[Yongjie Ren]

Public bug reported:

Environment:
------------
Host OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e
Guest OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e
Guest OS Type (Linux/Windows):Linux
kvm.git Commit:25e531a988ea5a64bd97a72dc9d3c65ad5850120
qemu-kvm Commit:0a948cbb1835e5f36990e173966d30bc4c8cc038
Host Kernel Version:3.5.0-rc1
Hardware:WSM-EP, Romley-EP


Bug detailed description:
--------------------------
Network in bridge mode doesn't work in SMP RHEL6.1/6.2 guest.
After booting up, use “dhclient ethX” to get IP (we use DHCP in the network), 
guest can not get IP.
Note:  1. UP guest(-smp 1) doesn’t have this issue.
             2. Windows(e.g. Win7) guest(-smp 4) has no issue.

This should be a qemu-kvm bug.
kvm      + qemu-kvm   =  result
25e531a9 + 0a948cbb    =  bad 
25e531a9 + 18b01275   =  good


Reproduce steps:
----------------
1.start up a host with kvm(25e531a9) + qemu-kvm (0a948cbb)
2.qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 4 –net nic,model=rt18139 –net 
tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup –hda /root/rhel6u1.qcow
3. ifconfig
4. ping 192.168.199.98  (a IP in the same subnet)
5. dhclient ethx   (can't get dynamic IP address)


Current result:
----------------
The guest can not get IP

Expected result:
----------------
The guest get IP and work fine.
