When running qemu-kvm under 64but Fedora 16 under current 3.8, it

I also noticed some other weirdness at this point like Firefox
hanging for many seconds at a time and increasing load average.

The qemu command I was trying to run was

$ qemu-kvm -m 512 -smp 2 -vga vmware -k en-gb -drive
file=/home/andrew/machines/qemu/f16-i386.img,if=virtio

Here's the last few lines of a strace on it at start up.

open("/home/andrew/machines/qemu/f16-i386.img",
O_RDWR|O_DSYNC|O_CLOEXEC) = 8 lseek(8, 0,
SEEK_END)                   = 9100722176 pread(8,

512, 65536) = 512 brk(0)                                  =
0x7faf12db0000 brk(0x7faf12ddd000

It's hanging in that brk syscall. The load average also then starts
to increase.


However. I can make it run fine, if I enable CONFIG_LOCKDEP. But
the only thing in dmesg I get is the usual.

kvm: SMP vm created on host with unstable TSC; guest TSC will not
be reliable

I've attached both working and non-working .configs. The only
difference being the lock checking enabled in config.good.

The most recent kernel I had it working in was 3.7.0

System is a Quad Core Intel running 64bit Fedora 16.

Can you run "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger" and see where it hangs?

Here you go, here's the bash process, qemu and a kvm bit. (From the
above command)

This looks like qemu-kvm getting stuck trying to get the anon_vma lock.

That leads to the obvious question: what is holding the lock, and/or
failed to release it?

Do you have any other (qemu-kvm?) processes on your system that have
any code in the VM (or strace/ptrace/...) in the backtrace, that might
be holding this lock?

Do you have anything in your dmesg showing threads that had a BUG_ON
(and exited) while holding the lock?
