Description YangGuang 2010-09-14 09:10:12 UTC
Description of problem:
I use Rhev-manager (sm81) to create a kvm guest. Before migrating, synchronize the guest time with ntp server. Then executing 10 times migrations repeatly. After these operations, check and compare the guest time with ntp server. Then we find that there is 85 seconds time drift in guest and no time drift in host. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Rhev-manager (sm81)

host: Rhev-hypervisor-5.5-2.2.6.1
kernel-2.6.18-194.11.1.el5
kvm-83-164.el5_5.21

guest: RHel 5.5 x86_64 
kernel-2.6.18-214.el5


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Before shut down kvm guest, do time synchronization with ntp server.

[guest]# ntpdate 10.5.26.10
14 Sep 04:51:28 ntpdate[2375]: adjust time server 10.5.26.10 offset 0.000240 sec

2. Migrate kvm guest 10 times repeatly.
3. After migrations, check the guest time with ntp server.
 
[guest]# ntpdate -q 10.5.26.10
server 10.5.26.10, stratum 1, offset -85.304423, delay 0.39574
14 Sep 05:03:45 ntpdate[2706]: step time server 10.5.26.10 offset -85.304423 sec

Actual results:
1. After step 3, it occurs about 85 seconds time drift. 

Expected results:
1.  After step 3, it should not occur time drift.

Comment 2 Glauber Costa 2011-01-18 10:04:53 UTC
This sound like a duplicate of a regression we recently came across.

I am closing it as as such, but please reopen if you still see this problem
with the most recent bits from the hypervisor. (kvm >= 83-219)
