This is with QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa (default on Debian): ... gettimeofday({1289311843, 426751}, NULL) = 0 select(24, [0 5 13 18 20 23], [], [], {1, 0}) = 1 (in [13], left {0, 999998}) poll([{fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLERR|POLLNVAL}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=13, revents=POLLIN}]) ioctl(14, 0xc0844123, 0x8e75200) = 0 ioctl(14, 0xc0844123, 0x8e75200) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {654227, 9502215}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {654227, 9521568}) = 0 gettimeofday({1289311843, 426911}, NULL) = 0 select(24, [0 5 13 18 20 23], [], [], {1, 0}) = 1 (in [13], left {0, 999998}) poll([{fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLERR|POLLNVAL}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=13, revents=POLLIN}]) ioctl(14, 0xc0844123, 0x8e75200) = 0 ioctl(14, 0xc0844123, 0x8e75200) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {654227, 9660799}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {654227, 9680088}) = 0 gettimeofday({1289311843, 427070}, NULL) = 0 ... Fd#13 is /dev/snd/timer. For this test, I tried -soundhw ac97. The same happens with es1370 too. With oss or pulseaudio it works just fine. Note that the problem does not occur always. I just booted a win7 guest with ac97, installed a driver, and it whole thing appears to work without this 100% cpu loop, at least after settling down. But several attempts to run a linux guest with es1370 or ac97 results in a reproduceable tight loop - right after bootup. And I just discovered another issue with QUEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa: when I tried to close sdl window, kvm wents into tight loop waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) waitpid(30478, 0xffa84ccc, 0) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) ... obviously consuming 100% cpu, and the only way to stop this is to kill it. Unrelated, but also buggy ;) Thanks! /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
