I didn't do that before. Apply the code in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-04/msg02138.html fix the: + if ( ((b + 1) % 255) == last_byte && !hit_edge) { to: + if ( ((b + 1) % 256) == last_byte && !hit_edge) { to tests/Makefile tests/postcopy-test$(EXESUF): tests/postcopy-test.o and do a: make check in qemu. Then you can rerun the test with: QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=path/to/qemu-system-x86_64 ./tests/postcopy-test if it works, reboot and check it still works from a fresh boot. Can you describe the system which your full test failed on? What distro on the host? What type of host was it tested on? Dave > > Thanks! > Liang > > > > > Dave > > > > > > -- > > > Kirill A.
