Avi, this fixes a problem that was introduced by the virtio_reset patches. Can you apply that fix to kvm.git as a bugfix, as the virtio_reset infrastructure is not on Linus upstream yet?
Anthony, Dor, are you ok with that change? -- With the latest virtio_reset patches I got the following oops: Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 0000000000000000 Oops: 0004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 1 Not tainted 2.6.24zlive-guest-10577-g63f5307-dirty #168 Process swapper (pid: 0, task: 000000000f866040, ksp: 000000000f86fd78) Krnl PSW : 0404100180000000 000000000047598a (skb_recv_done+0x52/0x98) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:1 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 000000000efd0e60 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 000000000f866040 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000008de4c8 0000000000001237 0000000000001237 000000000f977dd8 0000000000000020 00000000001132bc 000000000f977e08 000000000f977dd8 Krnl Code: 000000000047597c: e31040300004 lg %r1,48(%r4) 0000000000475982: b9040001 lgr %r0,%r1 0000000000475986: b9810003 ogr %r0,%r3 >000000000047598a: eb1040300030 csg %r1,%r0,48(%r4) 0000000000475990: a744fff9 brc 4,475982 0000000000475994: a7110001 tmll %r1,1 0000000000475998: a7840009 brc 8,4759aa 000000000047599c: e340b0b80004 lg %r4,184(%r11) Call Trace: ([<000001500f978000>] 0x1500f978000) [<00000000004779a6>] vring_interrupt+0x72/0x88 [<0000000000491d9c>] kvm_extint_handler+0x34/0x44 [<000000000010d2d4>] do_extint+0xc0/0xfc [<0000000000113b5a>] ext_no_vtime+0x1c/0x20 [<000000000010a0b6>] cpu_idle+0x21a/0x230 We must initialize vdev->priv before we use the notify hypercall as vdev->priv is used in skb_recv_done.
