Description Edu Alcaniz 2016-09-01 14:28:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
Images lost connectivity with bridge start VMs


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.2

[root@kvm02 log]# rpm -qa | grep kvm
libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64
qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-105.el7_2.7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7_2.7.x86_64

root@kvm02 log]# uname -an
Linux kvm02.tam.local 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 9 10:09:10 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. VMs associate to bridge created in OS
2. Start VMs, after start 3 vms
3. Connectivity go down

Sep 01 15:25:51 kvm02.tam.local kernel: br1: port 1(enp5s0) entered disabled state
 Sep 01 15:25:51 kvm02.tam.local kernel: device enp5s0 left promiscuous mode
Sep 01 15:25:42 kvm02.tam.local kernel: br1: port 2(vnet0) entered disabled state
Sep 01 15:25:42 kvm02.tam.local kernel: br1: port 1(enp5s0) entered disabled state

Actual results:
Bridge go down

Expected results:
VMs don't lose connectivity when use linux bridge

Hi:

Several questions:

- Can you reproduce the issue for refent qemu-kvm/kernel?
- What's the qemu cli or libvirt XML for launching guest?

Thanks
