Ccing Alex, I tested kvm.git next branch before Alex's patch set was applied, and did not see the bug. Although I'm not 100% sure but it is possible that something got broken by a patch in the following series: [01/10] KVM: Restrict non-existing slot state transitions [02/10] KVM: Check userspace_addr when modifying a memory slot [03/10] KVM: Fix iommu map/unmap to handle memory slot moves [04/10] KVM: Minor memory slot optimization [05/10] KVM: Rename KVM_MEMORY_SLOTS -> KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS [06/10] KVM: Make KVM_PRIVATE_MEM_SLOTS optional [07/10] KVM: struct kvm_memory_slot.user_alloc -> bool [08/10] KVM: struct kvm_memory_slot.flags -> u32 [09/10] KVM: struct kvm_memory_slot.id -> short [10/10] KVM: Increase user memory slots on x86 to 125 If I can get time, I will check which one caused the problem tomorrow.
