After that, the guest resumes and runs as expected. At that point we can examine the guest. Each time we'll see: If virsh screenshot works then this confirms that QEMU itself is still responding. Its main loop cannot be blocked since it was able to process the screendump command. This supports Josh's theory that a callback is not being invoked. The virtio-blk I/O request would be left in a pending state. Now here is where the behavior varies between configurations: On a Windows guest with 1 vCPU, you may see the symptom that the guest no longer responds to ping. On a Linux guest with multiple vCPUs, you may see the hung task message from the guest kernel because other vCPUs are still making progress. Just the vCPU that issued the I/O request and whose task is in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state would really be stuck. Basically, the symptoms depend not just on how QEMU is behaving but also on the guest kernel and how many vCPUs you have configured. I think this can explain how both problems you are observing, Oliver and Mike, are a result of the same bug. At least I hope they are :).
