(4)check the dmesg in guest # dmesg [ 97.476276] pciehp 0000:00:02.3:pcie004: Slot(0-3): Attention button pressed [ 97.484643] pciehp 0000:00:02.3:pcie004: Slot(0-3): Powering off due to button press [ 102.614017] i40e 0000:04:00.0: i40e_ptp_stop: removed PHC on eth1 (5)reboot the RHEL81 guest. The guest works well. This bug can be reproduced on qemu-kvm-4.1.0-23.module+el8.1.1+5938+f5e53076.2.x86_64(unfixed qemu-kvm version) According to the test result,this bug has been fixed well. Move the bug status to VERIFIED.
