From: Andrew Melnychenko <andrew@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9a9fc42b86c06120744555fea43fdcabe297c656 upstream. If there is a lot(more then 16) of virtio-console devices or virtio_console module is reloaded - buffers 'vtermnos' and 'cons_ops' are overflowed. In older kernels it overruns spinlock which leads to kernel freezing: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1786239 To reproduce the issue, you can try simple script that loads/unloads module. Something like this: while [ 1 ] do modprobe virtio_console sleep 2 modprobe -r virtio_console sleep 2 done Description of problem: Guest get 'Call Trace' when loading module "virtio_console" and unloading it frequently - clearly reproduced on kernel-4.18.0: [ 81.498208] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 81.499263] pvqspinlock: lock 0xffffffff92080020 has corrupted value 0xc0774ca0!
