[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1714331] Re: Virtual machines not working anymore on 2.10

[Chris Unsworth]

I am also unable to boot Windows 10 64 bit since updating to 2.10.0.  I
was previously using 2.8.0 which worked perfectly.  Windows gets stuck
at the big Windows logo with the spinning dots underneath and QEMU uses
100% CPU of 1 core.  I am using kernel 4.11.9 and the following command
line:

qemu-system-x86_64 
-serial none 
-parallel none 
-balloon none 
-enable-kvm 
-name Windows10 
-display none 
-M q35,accel=kvm,mem-merge=off 
-m 10240 
-cpu 
host,kvm=off,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time,hv_vendor_id=whatever
 
-smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 
-realtime mlock=on 
-vga none 
-device 
ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1 
-device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on 
-device vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,bus=root.1,addr=00.1 
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd 
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF_VARS-pure-efi.fd 
-drive 
if=none,id=drive0,cache=directsync,aio=native,format=raw,file=/dev/mint-vg/windows
 
-object iothread,id=iothread0 
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,scsi=off,iothread=iothread0 
-drive 
if=none,id=drive1,cache=directsync,aio=native,format=raw,file=/dev/evo-vg/windows2
 
-object iothread,id=iothread1 -device 
virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive1,scsi=off,iothread=iothread1 
-net nic,model=virtio 
-net bridge,br=br0 
-rtc base=localtime,clock=host 
-usb 
-device usb-host,bus=usb-bus.0,vendorid=0x1b1c,productid=0x1b22 
-device usb-host,bus=usb-bus.0,vendorid=0x1b1c,productid=0x1b15

I have now rolled back to 2.8.0 and it is working again.

Title:
  Virtual machines not working anymore on 2.10

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Using 2.10, my virtual machine(s) don't work anymore. This happens
  100% of the times.

  -----

  I use QEMU compiling it from source, on Ubuntu 16.04 amd64. This is
  the configure command:

      configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-debug --enable-gtk
  --enable-spice --audio-drv-list=pa

  I have one virtual disk, with a Windows 10 64-bit, which I launch in
  two different ways; both work perfectly on 2.9 (and used to do on 2.8,
  but I haven't used it for a long time).

  This is the first way:

      qemu-system-x86_64
        -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/path/to/OVMF_CODE.fd
        -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/tmp/OVMF_VARS.fd.tmp
        -enable-kvm
        -machine q35,accel=kvm,mem-merge=off
        -cpu 
host,kvm=off,hv_vendor_id=vgaptrocks,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time
        -smp 4,cores=4,sockets=1,threads=1
        -m 4096
        -display gtk
        -vga qxl
        -rtc base=localtime
        -serial none
        -parallel none
        -usb
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi
        -drive 
file=/path/to/image-diff.img,id=hdd1,format=qcow2,if=none,cache=writeback
        -device scsi-hd,drive=hdd1
        -net nic,model=virtio
        -net user

  On QEMU 2.10, I get the `Recovery - Your PC/Device needs to be
  repaired` windows screen; on 2.9, it boots regularly.

  This is the second way:

      qemu-system-x86_64
        -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/path/to/OVMF_CODE.fd
        -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/tmp/OVMF_VARS.fd.tmp
        -enable-kvm
        -machine q35,accel=kvm,mem-merge=off
        -cpu 
host,kvm=off,hv_vendor_id=vgaptrocks,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time
        -smp 4,cores=4,sockets=1,threads=1
        -m 10240
        -vga none
        -rtc base=localtime
        -serial none
        -parallel none
        -usb
        -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,multifunction=on
        -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.1
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device usb-host,vendorid=0xNNNN,productid=0xNNNN
        -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi
        -drive 
file=/path/to/image-diff.img,id=hdd1,format=qcow2,if=none,cache=writeback
        -device scsi-hd,drive=hdd1
        -net nic,model=virtio
        -net user

  On QEMU 2.10, I get the debug window on the linux monitor, and blank screen 
on VFIO one (no BIOS screen at all); after 10/20 seconds, QEMU crashes without 
any message.
  On 2.9, this works perfectly.

  I am able to perform a git bisect, if that helps, but if this is the
  case, I'd need this issue to be reviewed, since bisecting is going to
  take me a lot of time.
