Hi,
while I was trying to get pci passthrough to work without vt-d using
the 1to1 mapping (it works ;),
I stumbled upon a solid lock up of the guest.
(Unpatched source shows the same behaviour)
I see a strange look up of the guest OS with the following "features":
- guest doesn't respond anymore
- triggered by load in the guest.
- it seems it is easier to trigger with -smp 2
- host shows qemu process with 100% cpu
- seems to be cured by --no-kvm-irqchip
- --no-kvm-pit does not help
- qmeu console command system_reset works
Right now, guest OS is linux 2.6.27.1
Latest KVM from git, host is 2.6.28.
Older kvms seem to exhibit the same problem.
short gdb session:
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

kvm is started by:
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -vnc :2 -drive
file=/dev/mapper/mykvmparition,if=virtio,boot=on -net
nic,model=virtio,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:a0 -net
tap,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup,downscript=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown -m 512
Host is an AMD 4850e, all OS are 64bit.
The syslog on the host seems clean.
If you have anything for me to try or need some more information, let me
know.
Best regards,
Jan
