RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description weliao 2016-01-06 10:21:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
Boot a rhel6.8 guest w/ a virtio-net-pci device, but w/o vhost=on, when test netperf and protocol UDP_STREAM inside guest, during the stress, guest can not response any other things, such as click mouse, input keys ...
If boot w/vhost=off,sndbuf=1048576,won't hit this issue.
If boot w/ vhost=on, won't hit this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.32-595.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.483.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot a rhel6.8 guest w/ virtio-net-pci device but do not add option vhost=on.
2.In any external host run a netserver, and in this guest test nerperf w/ protocol UDP_STREAM
# netperf -H 10.66.9.230 -t UDP_STREAM -l 30
3.On the spice window, try to type or click or send ctrl-alt-f2  

Actual results:
From the spice window(w/ GUI), can not do anything, seams lose response.

Expected results:
guest works well

What qdisc did you use in guest?

This is probably a known issue since no tx completion interrups for virtio-net.
Comment 9 jason wang 2016-10-26 02:09:06 UTC 
Defer to 6.10. Well known issues upstream if using a non fair queuing qdisc in host or guest tx buffer bloat.
