Hello KVM team, I am using KVM for maintaining mixture of Windows and Linux VMs. recently I reinstalled the system with latest kernel 2.6.30 and qemu-kvm-0.86. I kept using the KVM module from the 2.6.30 kernel not from the pack with the qemu-kvm. Last night one of the Windows XP SP3 system rebooted and I found the following trace in my logs: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:204 kvm_queue_exception_e+0x24/0x45 [kvm]() Hardware name: IBM System x3650 -[7979B4G]- Modules linked in: 8021q garp tun reiserfs st ide_gd_mod ide_cd_mod bridge stp kvm_intel kvm ipv6 af_packet cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_powersave acpi_cpufreq speedstep_lib loop dm_mod i5k_amb ibmpex i5000_edac ibmaem i2c_i801 iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support rtc_cmos bnx2 sr_mod rtc_core ipmi_msghandler ses edac_core rtc_lib button pcspkr i2c_core cdrom serio_raw enclosure shpchp pci_hotplug joydev sg usbhid hid uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore sd_mod crc_t10dif edd ext3 mbcache jbd fan ide_pci_generic ide_core ata_generic ata_piix libata thermal processor thermal_sys hwmon aacraid scsi_mod Pid: 26872, comm: qemu-system-x86 Not tainted 2.6.30-9-pae #1 Call Trace: [<c012eda8>] warn_slowpath_common+0x60/0x90 [<c012ede5>] warn_slowpath_null+0xd/0x10 [<f7fea423>] kvm_queue_exception_e+0x24/0x45 [kvm] [<f7feb509>] kvm_task_switch+0xfb/0xada [kvm] [<c03441e2>] ? _spin_unlock+0xf/0x23 [<f7ff041e>] ? kvm_mmu_page_fault+0x16/0x75 [kvm] [<f805dea3>] handle_task_switch+0x6d/0x96 [kvm_intel] [<f805e3fd>] kvm_handle_exit+0x1c3/0x1e0 [kvm_intel] [<f7feb11a>] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x89d/0xab6 [kvm] [<c01a7cfd>] ? do_sync_readv_writev+0xa1/0xdf [<f7fe34ef>] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0xec/0x602 [kvm] [<c03441e2>] ? _spin_unlock+0xf/0x23 [<f7fe3403>] ? kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x0/0x602 [kvm] [<c01b2fe7>] vfs_ioctl+0x22/0x69 [<c01b3467>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x439/0x472 [<c0190277>] ? unmap_region+0x10a/0x124 [<c01a8e52>] ? fget_light+0x8a/0xb1 [<c01b34e0>] sys_ioctl+0x40/0x5a [<c0102b0c>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 ---[ end trace 9cc5a56b9c7eda31 ]--- Here is some more info: # uname -a Linux pc187 2.6.30-9-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 17 15:29:59 EEST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # qemu-system-x86_64 --version QEMU PC emulator version 0.10.50 (qemu-kvm-devel-86), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard # modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.30-9-pae/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko filename: /lib/modules/2.6.30-9-pae/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko license: GPL author: Qumranet srcversion: 934CD9DB264501B0431438A depends: vermagic: 2.6.30-9-pae SMP preempt mod_unload modversions CORE2 parm: oos_shadow:bool parm: msi2intx:bool Do I do something wrong or is it a bug in KVM ?
