Hi, I have a testcase which fails on host linux kernel 4.1.32. The testcase is that resetting the guest outside while rebooting inside at the same time. By the way, the guest kernel is linux 4.4 with debian filesystem. Here is the qemu command line: qemu-kvm \ -smp 4 \ -enable-kvm \ -m 1024 -M virt,gic-version=2 \ -monitor telnet::5444,server,nowait \ -cpu host -nographic \ -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0,mac="52:54:00:12:34:55" \ -netdev type=tap,id=net0,script=./qemu-ifup,downscript=no \ -drive file=debian.raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw \ -device virtio-blk-device,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 \ -kernel Image-4.4 \ -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda1 earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 rw dhcp" And the test command is: # ssh guest_ip reboot;echo system_reset|nc host_ip 5444 After executing above command several times, the guest gets stuck. The guest log as follow: ... Architected cp15 timer(s) running at 66.00MHz (virt). clocksource: arch_sys_counter: mask: 0xffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0xf38bc32cd, max_idle_ns: 440795204298 ns sched_clock: 56 bits at 66MHz, resolution 15ns, wraps every 2199023255548ns Console: colour dummy device 80x25 Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 132.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=264000) pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301 Security Framework initialized Mount-cache hash table entries: 2048 (order: 2, 16384 bytes) Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 2048 (order: 2, 16384 bytes) Initializing cgroup subsys memory Initializing cgroup subsys hugetlb EFI services will not be available. ASID allocator initialised with 65536 entries I found the guest is stuck at while ((now = jiffies) == j) in the function do_xor_speed(). Looks like there is no timer interrupt injected to guest any more. And the kernel 4.6 has fixed this bug, but I'm not sure if there is some way to fix this in stable 4.1.
