This looks like it might be a duplicate of bug 1382914. Can you talk to Xianxian and see if that seems to be the case. Hi David, I think they two should be the same issue. This bug: also can be reproduced on x86 if using an even lower balloon value(e.g. 512M) But neither this bug nor Bug 1382914 could be reproduced on Power8 with rhel7.4, when using balloon value 1024M. What happens? Besides, Bug 1382914 can be reproduce on Power9 with rhel7.4-alt I think the fact this has appeared is just because newer versions of the software (kernel, systemd and others) are now consuming more memory. That's making it easier to trigger the problem with a larger balloon value. I think the problem could be reproduced on rhel7.4 (both power8 and x86), but it would require a lowere balloon value. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1382914 *** |
Description of problem: Decrease guest's balloon value, and then shutdown guest via QMP "system_powerdown" command, QMP cannot quit after a very long time. x86 and Power8 don't have this issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Host: kernel: 4.11.0-10.el7a.ppc64le qemu-kvm-2.9.0-16.el7a.ppc64le Guest: 4.11.0-10.el7a.ppc64le How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot guest with balloon device and QMP 2. From any box with telnet client, run #telnet $HostIP 9999 {"execute": "qmp_capabilities"} 3. Decrease the memory value with balloon to 1G (guest's original memory is 8G): {"execute":"balloon","arguments":{"value":1073741824}} 4. Shutdown guest via qmp "system_powerdown" command: {"execute":"system_powerdown"} Actual results: In step4, QMP cannot quit after a very long time(maybe 30 minutes). While guest is powered off immediately in this case. Expected results: QMP quit after issuing {"execute":"system_powerdown"} Additional info: 1. Only Power9 has this problem, x86 and Power8 work well 2.
