In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I think the reason is the kernel thread abort because of a bug. Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by host. I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit when user mode linux kernel abort.
