 First, that printk should be rate-limited.

 Second, we should add EXIT_REASON_EPT_MISCONFIG (0x31) to 

if ((vectoring_info & VECTORING_INFO_VALID_MASK) &&
(exit_reason != EXIT_REASON_EXCEPTION_NMI &&
exit_reason != EXIT_REASON_EPT_VIOLATION &&
exit_reason != EXIT_REASON_TASK_SWITCH))
printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: unexpected, valid vectoring info "
   "(0x%x) and exit reason is 0x%x\n",
   __func__, vectoring_info, exit_reason);

 since it's easily caused by the guest.

 Third, it's really unexpected.  It seems the guest was attempting to 
 deliver a page fault exception (0x0e) but encountered an mmio page during 
 delivery (in the IDT, TSS, stack, or page tables).  Is this reproducible?  
 If so it's easy to patch kvm to halt in that case and allow examining the 
 guest via qemu.

The patchset is under review. Can be found at:

Thanks! Shall I run some patched kernel, or just 3.6.0?

Another problem I sometimes run into is, dmesg no longer works in the
test boxes that run lots of KVMs. It aborts with an error message:

dmesg: klogctl failed: Bad address

Still did not know why linux kernel triggered it. I have posted
a patchset to report an internal error for this case, hoping
Fengguang can reproduce it after the patchset and Qemu's dump
can help us to find the reason out.

I will keep working on it.

Have no idea yet why the box was frozen under this case, will try to write a 
test case,
hope it can help me to find the reason out.

I think this is reasonable.

It's the first time I see such errors.  For now I've upgraded the host
kernel to 3.6-rc5.  Let's check whether it will happen again.

I can test your changes either way.

Maybe we should do so regardless (return a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR).

[3.5.0 BUG] vmx_handle_exit: unexpected, valid vectoring info (0x80000b0e)

2012-09-11 Thread Fengguang Wu
Hi,

3 of my test boxes running v3.5 kernel become unaccessible and I find
two of them kept emitting this dmesg:

vmx_handle_exit: unexpected, valid vectoring info (0x8b0e) and exit reason 
is 0x31

The other one has froze and the above lines are the last dmesg.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Fengguang
