I hit this issue once by accident in the past and at that time I didn't understand what caused it, but after a reboot it was gone. So seeing it here it caught my eye and I investigated it last week. What I found out was that it's caused by the vfio-mdev module not being loaded automatically as a dependency. I solved it by autoloading the module on system boot. So this is not a libvirt issue, but just for a reference, there is a BZ on this [1]. > 2017-03-09 19:04:57.213+0000: 2003: info : libvirt version: 3.1.0 > 2017-03-09 19:04:57.213+0000: 2003: info : hostname: z-nuc-11.maas > 2017-03-09 19:04:57.213+0000: 2003: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1800 : > End of file while reading data: Input/output error I suppose this corresponds to the problem above, do you hit this error if you work around the vfio-mdev module problem described above? > > the screen call trace while start the VM (same for Ubuntu, Win10 etc) ====================================================== > > ubuntu@z-nuc-11:~/vgpu-meta/libvirt-stage$ myvirsh start vgpu-ubuntu > 2017-03-09 19:06:50.483+0000: 2232: info : libvirt version: 3.1.0 > 2017-03-09 19:06:50.483+0000: 2232: info : hostname: z-nuc-11.maas > 2017-03-09 19:06:50.483+0000: 2232: warning : qemuDomainObjTaint:4056 : > Domain id=1 name='vgpu-ubuntu' uuid=972b5e38-0437-11e7-8f97-d36dba74552d > is tainted: high-privileges > 2017-03-09 19:06:50.819+0000: 2204: info : libvirt version: 3.1.0 > 2017-03-09 19:06:50.819+0000: 2232: warning : virDomainAuditHostdev:456 > : Unexpected hostdev type while encoding audit message: 4 This one's interesting, again, are you able to hit the error when you work around the missing vfio-mdev module? I'll have a look at this if you actually can hit the error, even if the XML is correct. I posted v3 of the series and also created a new branch 'mdev-next' on my github [2]. I dropped the attribute 'type' from the source address element, so follow the example in the updated docs. Thanks for giving it a try.
