Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm


1) # lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04


2) # apt-cache policy qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm:
  Installed: 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9
  Candidate: 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9
  Version table:
 *** 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) We expect that the aio threads that do not return should time out.

4) instead, KVM and virtualized guests become unresponsive when the
guest run performance tests against the libaio engine. This is
reproducable 100% by running fio with the libaio engine. In some cases,
the test must be run multiple times. The more vCPUs a guest instance
has, the more likely it is to crash quickly.

In some cases, one guest instance can also cause performance problems
and crashes for other guests on the same physical hardware. The only way
to regain control of KVM is to reboot the server.


This appears to be the same problem addressed by the KVM package in RHEL
5.5 (BZ#525114).
