Hi Peter, I was trying to reproduce the occasional travis postcopy test case failures you were seeing; I can reproduce them but only with tcg - which makes me wonder if the problem is in the test or actually in tcg.
My test is: export QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=wherever/try/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 cd whereever/try for NUM in $(seq 1 100) do echo 'while true; do ./tests/migration-test || break; done' | taskset 2 bash & done so all of the instances are pinned to one core using taskset. I had 100 instances of kvm running overnight (x86-64) and didn't hit any problems. 30 instances of tcg hit the problem in 5 minutes (x86-64 on x86-64).
