Yes. A signal is sent, and KVM returns from the guest to userspace on
pending signals.
is there a description available how this process exactly works?
The kernel part is in vcpu_enter_guest(), see the check for
signal_pending(). But this hasn't seen changes for quite a long while.
Thank you, i will have a look. I noticed a few patches that where submitted
during the last year, maybe one of them is related:
Switch SIG_IPI to SIGUSR1
Fix signal handling of SIG_IPI when io-thread is enabled
In the first commit there is mentioned a "32-on-64-bit Linux kernel bug"
is there any reference to that?
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/1XS1vwGSFLyYygwTXg1K. Are you
running 32-on-64?
I think the issue occurs when running a 32-bit guest on a 64-bit system. Afaik, the
isolinux loader where is see the race is 32-bit altough it is a 64-bit ubuntu lts
cd image. The second case where i have seen the race is on shutdown of a
Windows 2000 Server which is also 32-bit.
"32-on-64" particularly means using a 32-bit QEMU[-kvm] binary on a
64-bit host kernel. What does "file qemu-system-x86_64" report about yours?
Its custom build on a 64-bit linux as 64-bit application. I will try to
continue to find out
today whats going wrong. Any help or hints appreciated ;-)
Thanks,
