ok, i just started with this with a 3.0 (good) and 3.2 (bad) vanilla kernel. i can confirm the bug and i am no starting to bisect. it will take while with my equipment if anyoneOn 07/03/2012 04:15 PM, Peter Lieven wrote:On 03.07.2012 15:13, Avi Kivity wrote:On 07/03/2012 04:01 PM, Peter Lieven wrote:Further output from my testing.

It might be that the code was introduced somewhere between 3.0.0 and 3.2.0 in the kvm kernel module and that the flaw is not in qemu-kvm. Any hints?A bisect could tell us where the problem is. To avoid bisecting all of linux, try git bisect v3.2 v3.0 virt/kvm arch/x86/kvmwould it also be ok to bisect kvm-kmod?Yes, but note that kvm-kmod is spread across two repositories which are not often tested out of sync, so you may get build failures.
has a powerful testbed to run this i would greatly appreciate help. if anyone wants to reproduce: a) v3.2 from git.kernel.org b) qemu-kvm 1.0.1 from sourceforge c) ubuntu 64-bit 12.04 server cd d) empty (e.g. all zero) hard disk image cmdline:./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -cdrom /home/lieven/Downloads/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso -hda /dev/hd1/vmtest -vnc :1 -monitor stdio -boot dc
then choose boot from first harddisk and try to quit the qemu monitor with 'quit'. -> hypervisor hangs.
