Bug 907397

Can reproduce this issue by using qemu-kvm-355.

Steps:
1. boot guest with e1000(netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=e100-1,mac=2C:41:38:B6:40:44,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,bootindex=2 )

2. In guest
#reboot

Result
Guest lose ip.


Additional infos:
1. This issue can not be reproduced by using qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.344.el6.x86_64. This issue should be introduced from bz890288.

2. This issue can not be reproduced if KVM QE uses "system_reset" instead of "reboot" in guest.
2.1 In guest#reboot  Reproduced ratio : 3/3  
2.2 (qemu)system_reset Reproduced ratio : 0/3

Hi Jason/Mst

Would you please have a look this comment? What's the difference between "issue reboot command in guest" and "issue system_reset"? Why the "issue reboot command in guest" can reproduce this issue 100%, however, "issue system_reset" can not? Thanks.

Best Regards & Thanks,
Junyi

I am guessing you need a longer time between system reset commands.
reboot from guest adds delay since guest needs to boot.

Ok, KVM QE will have a try this method as well.

This issue can be reproduced as well if KVM QE repeatedly resets by using system_rest guest with random timing by script.

Test with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.381.el6.x86_64:

With steps in comment 2, pass.

Also do extra test during verifiying:

Bug 907716 - use set_link to change rtl8139 and e1000 network card's status but fail to make effectively after reboot guest

Test result is in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907716#c26

All pass, based on above, i am willing to test this one verified.
