Thanks, Alex Confirmed: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/22540ca3d00d2990a4148a13b92209c3dc5422db Sorry, I just noticed my error, it should be: aa202f1f56960c60e7befaa0f49c72b8fa11b0a8 The host system is configured with the following kernel arguments which may be related: isolcpus=0-5,24-29,6-11,30-35 rcu_nocbs=0-5,24-29,6-11,30-35 The system is an AMD Threadripper 2970WX on a Gigabyte x399 AORUS Gaming 7 board. It has two GPUs each being passed through to two separate KVM guests, one is an AMD Radeon 7 in a Linux guest, the other is a GeForce 1080Ti in a Windows guest. The cores used for these two guests are isolated from the host for performance reasons. Any insight as to why this is occurring would be appreciated. If you need any more information or would like to test patches please let me know. Kind Regards, Geoffrey McRae HostFission https://hostfission.com
