I tested with the git tree (which also contains the later additional patch), and get this error on guest: May 11 08:06:08 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28 May 11 08:06:08 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28 May 11 08:06:08 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28 May 11 08:06:08 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28 ... The network stops after that and requires a modprobe "restart" to get it working again. This is with the new qemu/vhost/virtio-net. Please let me know if I am missing something. thanks, - KK _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
