Bug 1392520

Fix included in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.498.el6

Reproduce this bug
Host version:
             qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.496.el6.x86_64
             kernel-2.6.32-680.el6.x86_64
guest:kernel-2.6.32-680.el6.x86_64

Following is the details
a. repeat virtio-balloon driver increases
1. Boot guest with following cmd
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-M pc \
-cpu Nehalem,enforce \
-m 4G \
-name rhel6.9 \
-uuid 2fd41914-5019-4d17-a6cc-fa653ba516f5 \

-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 \
-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=virtio-balloon0 \
-usbdevice tablet \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet1 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=54:52:00:B6:40:22 \

2. In guest, repeat following operation
  for n in $(seq 200); do
    echo $n
    modprobe -r virtio-balloon
    modprobe virtio-balloon
  done

Test results:
guest will be shutdown and qemu quit with "qemu-kvm: Virtqueue size exceeded"

b.reboot guest 
1.Boot guest through libvirt
2.reboot guest through following scripts
#!/bin/bash
for i in  $(seq 129);
do    
	echo $i
        virsh qemu-monitor-command generic --hmp "system_reset"
        sleep 30
done

Test results:
guest shutdown when repeat 128 times
129
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running
-------------------------------------------------------------------

a.
Test results:
guest normal work and qemu not quit.
b.
Test results:
guest not shutdown when repeat 128 times

Conclusion：
