From: Andrew Melnychenko <[email protected]> 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
