Just booted it (took ages), and the result was actually a completely
black screen. Kind of persistent corruption. This really looks like a
qemu issue now, maybe even a regression as I don't remember running into
such effects a while back.

Worked fine for me (though yes it was slow - did tcg regress?).


I reread my commit but could not find any reason to make this corruption
in kernel side.

But at least, I want to make it clear whether my commit was just a magnifier
of this problem, I know that magnifier itself is bad, or not.

Though I'm now trying some debugging but have not got a way to show
kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() is 100% correct yet.


I tried some tests and found another issue.

  I opened a terminal in one workspace and did "find /" on it. Then I switched
  to another workspace. When I switched back to the first one, the display of
  "find /" result was frozen.

I also replaced kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() with the version before my patch was
applied and got the same result.

I don't know this is related to your report, but something seems wrong.

Thanks,
  Takuya
