I took a quick glance where skb_recv_done is registered at all and traced it
back to vp_find_vqs(). Looking into that function I noticed MSI and so tried
to boot with pci=nomsi. And indeed I guessed it right, with pci=nomsi I
don't get any lockups anymore.
Am I the only one booting kvm-qemu usually with enabled MSI?

MSI enabled is good and is the default with modern qemu-kvm + guest OSes.

Michael: Any ideas?

I just tried to boot with -net...,vectors=0 and -net...,vectors=32, both time it locks up. So MSI-X vs. MSI does not make a difference.

I don't have any time to further track that down right now. Shall I open a bugzilla ticket so that it won't be forgotten? And I also tend to make a simple patch to let virtio-net always use normal interrupts as users usually don't like lock ups... But then I still don't understand why I seem to be the only one running into it (or at least I'm the only one complaining loudly).

Cheers,
Bernd
