You cannot do that because of the recursive locking assertions; the child is not using qemu_mutex_unlock, it's using qemu_mutex_init. So I would have to add some kind of tb_lock_reset_after_fork() function which is a bit ugly. >> @@ -676,6 +709,7 @@ static inline void code_gen_alloc(size_t tb_size) >> CODE_GEN_AVG_BLOCK_SIZE; >> tcg_ctx.tb_ctx.tbs = >> g_malloc(tcg_ctx.code_gen_max_blocks * >> sizeof(TranslationBlock)); >> + qemu_mutex_init(&tcg_ctx.tb_ctx.tb_lock); > Maybe we can initialize the mutex only for CONFIG_USER_ONLY? It's okay, it doesn't consume system resources. Paolo
