How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:

2. "while true; do sleep 1 && virsh screenshot domain; done" in the background
3. do random things in the guest: move windows around, scroll webpage...
  
Actual results:

The display hangs.

my bad, wrong bug edited.

Comment 9 Alon Levy 2012-02-26 10:32:47 UTC
Bug should be on qemu-kvm, not on spice-server, that's where the current patchset that fixes it is, spice-server doesn't require any changes.

Moving to qemu-kvm.

Please note reproducer remains the same, and the fixes are on the mailing list:

Not sure which QE should take this.

virt-manager-0.9.0-7.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-8.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. setup a spice VM with virt-manager, and open the display
2. "while true; do sleep 1 && virsh screenshot domain; done" in the background

Verified this issue with the steps the following environment:

2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.253.el6.x86_64

steps:

1. Boot guest using qemu-kvm directly, connect guest with spice then run TOMs-2D-Bench in a loop in guest and take screenshot more than 1000 times , guest works well.

2. Boot guest with virt-manager, and open the display with spice
  2.1 run TOMs-2D-Bench in a loop in guest
  2.2 "while true; do sleep 1 && virsh screenshot domain; done" in the   background, take screenshot more than 1000 times. Both host and guest running well.
