Besides qemu, I've also tried kvmtool with the same result. IOW I'm seeing this under kvmtool as well. It just takes a bit longer to reproduce this in kvmtool. > The bug I suspected to be the cause of that is in tag allocation in > net/9p/client.c - we could end up wrapping around 2^16 with enough pending > requests and that would have triggered that kind of mess.

Yes, WARN_ON_ONCE() in p9_client_prepare_req() didn't trigger, but debug printk in p9_client_write() *did* trigger. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
