kvm-tpr-opt.c.




I disabled this on both sides but still the same behaviour windows 
crashes after ~45min




45 minutes!

Anything from the crash to indicate what's wrong?



debugging Windows is not really easy mostly just saying nothing.

windows runs at first normally but after some time somewhere between a 
few minutes and 1.5h
the windows kernel process goes crazy running with 100% cpu and after 
running like this for a few

more minutes windows is completely frozen.



Sometimes examining the running code and registers in the qemu monitor, 
perhaps resolving symbols via WinDbg, helps in getting a clue...  it's 
not easy though.

Hi,

While testing migration from old to new kvm ( 0.12.5 to 0.14.x ) and 
after fixing
some other problems mainly version_id probs in some of the 
VMStateDescriptions
everything was working fine until I tried to migrate Windows guests they 
would crash

after running some time. Linux guests are running stable.

So I decided to do a git bisect to identify the according commit.
Reverting this commit fixes this problem with Windows guests.

What consequences might it have not updating these memory mappings ?

Does this commit need a specific seabios version, we have seabios 0.6.0 
with qemu-kvm 0.12.5

and seabios 0.6.1.2 with qemu-kvm 0.14.1 ?

Maybe instead of reverting this commit one could check the seabios 
version in this method
and only do an update of these piix PAM registers if running with a 
newer seabios version ?


Regards,
Jason

Resets may fail.

0.6.0 with qemu-kvm 0.12.5

and seabios 0.6.1.2 with qemu-kvm 0.14.1 ?


IIUC newer seabios depends on this commit, but this commit does not 
depend on seabios.

version in this method
and only do an update of these piix PAM registers if running with a

It would be better to first understand what's going wrong.

with 0.12.5 there is no device_init in kvm-tpr-opt.c
should I still try without the device_init() only with 0.14.1 ?

removing kvm_tpr_opt_setup() in qemu-kvm-x86.c is probably the 
equivalent to device_init(kvm_tpr_opt_setup)
