Description Chris Underhill 2008-08-02 11:03:22 UTC
Description of problem:

I have an up-to-date virtual machine running Fedora 8, which I'm running through
the virtual machine manager. It is using qemu-kvm. The host operating system is
Fedora 9, again fully updated. In both cases, the architecture is x86_64. 

Whenever I try to connect to this virtual machine using the free Nomachine NX
client, the kernel in the virtual machine generates a double fault and an oops
message in the log file. I am accessing the virtual machine over a virtual
bridge (br0 interface). I'm using KDE in the virtual machine, through the NX
client configuration.

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 8 in a qemu-kvm virtual machine
2. Try to connect using nxclient from a Fedora 9 box
3. Virtual machine oopses with double fault and nxclient fails to connect.
  
Actual results:

Kernel double faults:

Expected results:

NX client connects and I can run applications etc.

Additional info:

Connecting to a CentOS 5.2, Fedora 7 or Fedora 9 virtual machines from my host
works fine.

Comment 1 Chris Underhill 2008-08-02 11:05:07 UTC
Ooops - cut-and-paste error. The kernel in the Fedora 8 VM is 

kernel-2.6.25.11-60.fc8

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2008-08-12 00:21:49 UTC
Are there any messages in the host's log when that happens?

Comment 3 Chris Underhill 2008-08-12 17:59:45 UTC
(In reply to comment #2)

> Are there any messages in the host's log when that happens?

The only messages are in my .xsession-errors file, where I see:

Qt: Locales not supported on X server
Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x4ac specified for 0x5600006 ( NX - fc8v).

but I get this as the NX logon window appears, i.e., before connection, regardless of which VM (or remote machine) I connect to, so doubt it's relevant.

There's nothing reported in dmesg, /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Comment 4 Chuck Ebbert 2008-09-23 00:20:32 UTC
Is the nxserver program 32-bit or 64-bit?

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2008-09-23 00:21:42 UTC
Also, is this still happening with 2.6.26.3 kernels?

Comment 6 Chris Underhill 2008-09-28 22:21:41 UTC
NX software on the Fedora 8 virtual machine consists of:

nxnode-3.0.0-93.i386
nxserver-3.0.0-79.i386
nxclient-3.0.0-89.i386

I've updated the vm to use kernel-2.6.26.3-14.fc8.x86_64 and the double fault is still present:

Comment 7 Chuck Ebbert 2008-10-04 01:57:25 UTC
from System.map:
ffffffff81026580 T ia32_sysenter_target

The reported oops address in 2.6.26.3-14 is <0000000081026580>

The report on 2.6.25.11-60 is consistent with this one.

Somehow the top half of the address got zeroed??

Comment 8 Chuck Ebbert 2008-10-04 02:34:22 UTC
This is apparently a bug in kvm, fixed in kvm-74.

Alexanders patch is at:
