Comment 1 Michael S. Tsirkin 2010-06-24 10:15:48 UTC
This is a bug in virtio-net driver.
This is fixed upstream e918085aaff34086e265f825dd469926b1aec4a4:

    virtio_net: Fix MAX_PACKET_LEN to support 802.1Q VLANs
    
    802.1Q expanded the maximum ethernet frame size by 4 bytes for the
    VLAN tag.  We're not taking this into account in virtio_net, which
    means the buffers we provide to the backend in the virtqueue RX ring
    aren't big enough to hold a full MTU VLAN packet.  For QEMU/KVM,
    this results in the backend exiting with a packet truncation error.

Change the guest mtu to 1490 before testing, file transferred successfully.

I'll tested with this guest kernel.

After updated guest kernel, bug could not be reproduced.
