Well this is still happening ... I have tried to isolate what could be causing
but not much luck yet. Thought the VMs may have been IO bound but that not the
case and even tried upping the vCPU allocation from one to two as plenty of
head room. When it locks up I see this on a strace:
[pid 1343] read(14, 0x7fff82aeb360, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
[pid 1343] read(7, "\0", 512) = 1
[pid 1343] read(7, 0x7fff82aec160, 512) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
[pid 1343] select(26, [7 10 13 14 16 17 22 25], [], [], {1, 0}) = 1 (in [16],
left {0, 999981})
[pid 1343] read(16,
"\16\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\376\377\377\377\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,
128) = 128
[pid 1343] rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, NULL, {0x7f210b2c0510, ~[KILL STOP RTMIN
RT_1], SA_RESTORER, 0x7f210ac22500}, 8) = 0
[pid 1343] write(8, "\0", 1) = 1
[pid 1343] write(15, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8

[pid 1343] timer_settime(0x1, 0, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0,
656000000}}, NULL) = 0
[pid 1343] select(26, [7 10 13 14 16 17 22 25], [], [], {1, 0}) = 2 (in [7
14], left {0, 999998})
[pid 1343] read(14, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096) = 8
[pid 1343] read(14, 0x7fff82aeb360, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily

[pid 1343] read(7, "\0", 512) = 1
[pid 1343] read(7, 0x7fff82aec160, 512) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
Does that shed any light ? Trying to find a how to for upgrading to the latest
KVM/QEMU.
Thanks.

Please try with latest kvm/qemu. This is not the list to report vendor specific
