Sure, but I am little confused as KVM is part of linux kernel now, if

what does vapic affect Windows 7 at all if I disable it? if it just a
minor performance drop, I am fine with that.

I see, so it's minor performance gain, and not stability related
option which is good.

I am checking http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13.11.5-trusty/,
changelog showing lsr function is included, but when I download and
extract kvm.ko out then run nm kvm.ko | grep lsr, nothing found.

since they change the logic inside a function and never change
function name, it's hard to tell by using nm kvm.ko as it only shows
what function name included on kernel module.

bridge mode without network rework

2014-12-07 Thread Thomas Lau
Hi All,

I just wondering is it possible not to rework our host machine network
structure to get KVM guest working on bridge mode? Current
implementation is using brctl to control it, which is destructive
especially you have a host which is using that network card to connect
internet.

Windows 7 stable running setting

2014-12-08 Thread Thomas Lau
Hi All,

I want to recap the previous discussion that I had BSOD due to
following config is missing, after applied those settings, Windows 7
running a lot more stable than before, but BSOD still appear once in a
while, anyone could show KVM options which makes Windows 7 stable
running for months please?

My missing settings:
hv_relaxed
hv_vapic
hv_spinlocks, retries 8191
__

I read somewhere mention something related with hv_reftime, but Google
didn't show any patch related to it. Any idea?

Re: Windows 7 VM BSOD

Hi Vadim,

I want to quote back to your original post back in early 2014:
https://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg99782.html


According to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559069(v=vs.85).aspx
 the 0x5C means HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Problem matched exactly, which I am using CPU IvyBridge-EP and I got
same BSOD as well.

Are we missing some hyperv feature?

I briefly tested Penryn, Westmere. Bug still could reproduce.

how could I set level, model and enforce on libvirt ?! I could also
test it if you could tell me how to add those options on libvirtd.
