https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68051 --- Comment #3 from Kashyap Chamarthy <kashyap.cv@xxxxxxxxx> --- I should add some more context: I noticed this issue when I found an un-killable defunct qemu process (I ended up with it when I tried to force power-off the guest via `virsh`), and I had to reboot the host. $ virsh destroy ostack-compute error: Failed to destroy domain 3 error: Failed to terminate process 3152 with SIGKILL: Device or resource busy NOTE - The disk image is *not* on NFS mount. It's on local disk: $ virsh domblklist ostack-compute Target Source ------------------------------------------------ vda /home/kashyap/vmimages/ostack-compute.qcow2 Try to destroy the guest again, with LIBVIRT_DEBUG enabled, that's what I see in a loop: ============= . . . 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virKeepAliveCheckMessage:395 : Got keepalive request from client 0x7f4dfaca75d0 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virNetMessageNew:44 : msg=0x7f4dfaca7770 tracked=0 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virNetMessageEncodePayloadEmpty:479 : Encode length as 28 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virKeepAliveMessage:101 : Sending keepalive response to client 0x7f4dfaca75d0 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virKeepAliveMessage:104 : RPC_KEEPALIVE_SEND: ka=0x7f4dfaca78c0 client=0x7f4dfaca75d0 prog=1801807216 vers=1 proc=2 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virNetClientQueueNonBlocking:1926 : RPC_CLIENT_MSG_TX_QUEUE: client=0x7f4dfaca75d0 len=28 prog=1801807216 vers=1 proc=2 type=2 status=0 serial=0 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virNetClientCallNew:1905 : New call 0x7f4dfaca7ae0: msg=0x7f4dfaca7770, expectReply=0, nonBlock=1 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virNetMessageClear:55 : msg=0x7f4dfaca7638 nfds=0 2014-01-02 12:42:54.012+0000: 27462: debug : virNetClientIOEventLoopRemoveDone:1379 : Removing completed call 0x7f4dfaca7ae0 2014-01-02 12:42:59.172+0000: 27462: debug : virNetMessageDecodeLength:149 : Got length, now need 28 total (24 more) 2014-01-02 12:42:59.172+0000: 27462: debug : virNetClientCallDispatch:1123 : RPC_CLIENT_MSG_RX: client=0x7f4dfaca75d0 len=28 prog=1801807216 vers=1 proc=1 type=2 status=0 serial=0 2014-01-02 12:42:59.172+0000: 27462: debug : virKeepAliveCheckMessage:374 : ka=0x7f4dfaca78c0, client=0x7f4dfaca75d0, msg=0x7f4dfaca7638 2014-01-02 12:42:59.172+0000: 27462: debug : virKeepAliveCheckMessage:391 : RPC_KEEPALIVE_RECEIVED: ka=0x7f4dfaca78c0 client=0x7f4dfaca75d0 prog=1801807216 vers=1 proc=1 . . . ============= And: $ ps -ef | grep qemu qemu 3152 1 30 2013 ? 13:30:42 [qemu-system-x86] <defunct> $ pstree 3152 qemu-system-x86───{qemu-system-x86} Libvirt & QEMU version on the host: $ rpm -q libvirt-daemon-kvm qemu-system-x86 libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.0-1.fc21.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-1.7.0-3.fc21.x86_64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
