Hi, after live migrating ubuntu 9.10 server (2.6.31-14-server) and suse linux 10.1 (2.6.16.13-4-smp) it happens sometimes that the guest runs into irq problems. i mention these 2 guest oss since i have seen the error there. there are likely others around with the same problem. on the host i run 2.6.33.3 (kernel+mod) and qemu-kvm 0.12.4. i started a vm with: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm-0.12.4 -net tap,vlan=141,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=tap0 -net nic,vlan=141,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:ff:00:72 -drive file=/dev/sdb,if=ide,boot=on,cache=none,aio=native -m 1024 -cpu qemu64,model_id='Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5430 @ 2.66GHz' -monitor tcp:0:4001,server,nowait -vnc :1 -name 'migration-test-9-10' -boot order=dc,menu=on -k de -incoming tcp:172.21.55.22:5001 -pidfile /var/run/qemu/vm-155.pid -mem-path /hugepages -mem-prealloc -rtc base=utc,clock=host -usb -usbdevice tablet for testing i have a clean ubuntu 9.10 server 64-bit install and created a small script with fetches a dvd iso from a local server and checking md5sum in an endless loop. the download performance is approx. 50MB/s on that vm. to trigger the error i did several migrations of the vm throughout the last days. finally I ended up in the following oops in the guest: [64442.298521] irq 10: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [64442.299175] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.31-14-server #48-Ubuntu [64442.299179] Call Trace: [64442.299185] <IRQ> [<ffffffff810b4b96>] __report_bad_irq+0x26/0xa0 [64442.299227] [<ffffffff810b4d9c>] note_interrupt+0x18c/0x1d0 [64442.299232] [<ffffffff810b5415>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xd5/0x100 [64442.299244] [<ffffffff81014bdd>] handle_irq+0x1d/0x30 [64442.299246] [<ffffffff810140b7>] do_IRQ+0x67/0xe0 [64442.299249] [<ffffffff810129d3>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0x11 [64442.299266] [<ffffffff810b3234>] ? handle_IRQ_event+0x24/0x160 [64442.299269] [<ffffffff810b529f>] ? handle_edge_irq+0xcf/0x170 [64442.299271] [<ffffffff81014bdd>] ? handle_irq+0x1d/0x30 [64442.299273] [<ffffffff810140b7>] ? do_IRQ+0x67/0xe0 [64442.299275] [<ffffffff810129d3>] ? ret_from_intr+0x0/0x11 [64442.299290] [<ffffffff81526b14>] ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x14/0x20 [64442.299302] [<ffffffff8133257c>] ? scsi_dispatch_cmd+0x16c/0x2d0 [64442.299307] [<ffffffff8133963a>] ? scsi_request_fn+0x3aa/0x500 [64442.299322] [<ffffffff8125fafc>] ? __blk_run_queue+0x6c/0x150 [64442.299324] [<ffffffff8125fcbb>] ? blk_run_queue+0x2b/0x50 [64442.299327] [<ffffffff8133899f>] ? scsi_run_queue+0xcf/0x2a0 [64442.299336] [<ffffffff81339a0d>] ? scsi_next_command+0x3d/0x60 [64442.299338] [<ffffffff8133a21b>] ? scsi_end_request+0xab/0xb0 [64442.299340] [<ffffffff8133a50e>] ? scsi_io_completion+0x9e/0x4d0 [64442.299348] [<ffffffff81036419>] ? default_spin_lock_flags+0x9/0x10 [64442.299351] [<ffffffff8133224d>] ? scsi_finish_command+0xbd/0x130 [64442.299353] [<ffffffff8133aa95>] ? scsi_softirq_done+0x145/0x170 [64442.299356] [<ffffffff81264e6d>] ? blk_done_softirq+0x7d/0x90 [64442.299368] [<ffffffff810651fd>] ? __do_softirq+0xbd/0x200 [64442.299370] [<ffffffff810131ac>] ? call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 [64442.299372] [<ffffffff81014b85>] ? do_softirq+0x55/0x90 [64442.299374] [<ffffffff81064f65>] ? irq_exit+0x85/0x90 [64442.299376] [<ffffffff810140c0>] ? do_IRQ+0x70/0xe0 [64442.299379] [<ffffffff810129d3>] ? ret_from_intr+0x0/0x11 [64442.299380] <EOI> [<ffffffff810356f6>] ? native_safe_halt+0x6/0x10 [64442.299390] [<ffffffff8101a20c>] ? default_idle+0x4c/0xe0 [64442.299395] [<ffffffff815298f5>] ? atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x15/0x20 [64442.299398] [<ffffffff81010e02>] ? cpu_idle+0xb2/0x100 [64442.299406] [<ffffffff815123c6>] ? rest_init+0x66/0x70 [64442.299424] [<ffffffff81838047>] ? start_kernel+0x352/0x35b [64442.299427] [<ffffffff8183759a>] ? x86_64_start_reservations+0x125/0x129 [64442.299429] [<ffffffff81837698>] ? x86_64_start_kernel+0xfa/0x109 [64442.299433] handlers: [64442.299840] [<ffffffffa0000b80>] (e1000_intr+0x0/0x190 [e1000]) [64442.300046] Disabling IRQ #10 After this the guest is still allive, but download performance is down to approx. 500KB/s This error is definetly not triggerable with option -no-kvm-irqchip. I have seen this error occasionally since my first experiments with qemu-kvm-88 and also without hugetablefs. Help appreciated.
