Further output from my testing.
Working:
Linux 2.6.38 with included kvm module
Linux 3.0.0 with included kvm module
Not-Working:
Linux 3.2.0 with included kvm module
Linux 2.6.28 with kvm-kmod 3.4
Linux 3.0.0 with kvm-kmod 3.4
Linux 3.2.0 with kvm-kmod 3.4
I can trigger the race with any of qemu-kvm 0.12.5, 1.0 or 1.0.1.
It might be that the code was introduced somewhere between 3.0.0
and 3.2.0 in the kvm kernel module and that the flaw is not
in qemu-kvm.
Any hints?
A bisect could tell us where the problem is.
To avoid bisecting all of linux, try
git bisect v3.2 v3.0 virt/kvm arch/x86/kvm
would it also be ok to bisect kvm-kmod?
Yes, but note that kvm-kmod is spread across two repositories which are
not often tested out of sync, so you may get build failures.
ok, i just started with this with a 3.0 (good) and 3.2 (bad) vanilla
kernel. i can confirm
the bug and i am no starting to bisect. it will take while with my
equipment if anyone
has a powerful testbed to run this i would greatly appreciate help.
if anyone wants to reproduce:
a) v3.2 from git.kernel.org
b) qemu-kvm 1.0.1 from sourceforge
c) ubuntu 64-bit 12.04 server cd
d) empty (e.g. all zero) hard disk image
cmdline:
./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -cdrom
/home/lieven/Downloads/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso -hda
/dev/hd1/vmtest -vnc :1 -monitor stdio -boot dc
then choose boot from first harddisk and try to quit the qemu monitor
with 'quit'. -> hypervisor hangs.
