call trace in guest

Description of problem:
1. found calltrace in guest(attached is the log), I met the calltrace twice. one is when scp a large file(3.4G) from a remote machine to the guest. another one is when running iozone test inside guest.

2. nothing interesting in host was found.

3. the image files are on remote nfs server.

4. CLI:
qemu-kvm CLI :/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2 -drive file=/data/images/t78/images/ChenZhou/5.4-64.virtio.virtio.qcow2.20,if=virtio,boot=on,cache=off -drive file=/data/images/t78/images/test2.qcow2.64k,if=virtio,cache=off -drive file=/data/images/t195/images/test1.qcow2.4k,if=virtio,cache=off -net nic -net tap -vnc :2 -monitor stdio -usbdevice tablet -uuid c3105705-6c51-40b5-80eb-a0ffa387575a

iozone CLI  :./iozone -aZR -n 16g -g 22g -y 32k -q 64k -M -b /root/result.xls -f /mnt/1/testfile

5. guest is RHEL5.4 X86_64

I'm not sure this is a bug, it might be due too stall by synchronous first time allocation done by qcow2.

Can you first fully populate the guest image by writing to the entire disk and afterwards erase these dummy files and return the test again?
