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 Qian Guo 2013-05-14 10:53:23 UTC 
Created attachment 747629 [details]
guest log from booting to finished the UDP_STREAM test w/o vhost=on

Description of problem:
Boot a rhel7 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=on, won't hit this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r
3.9.0-0.55.el7.x86_64
# rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.4.0-4.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot a rhel7 guest w/ virtio-net-pci device but do not add option vhost=on.

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc  -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -name rhel7  -drive file=/home/rhel7cp1.qcow3,if=none,id=drive-ide1-1-0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,drive=drive-ide1-1-0,id=ide1-1-0  -vnc :10 -vga qxl  -monitor stdio -nodefaults -nodefconfig -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon1  -netdev tap,id=netdev1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev1,id=vnic1,mac=54:52:1a:23:0b:01

2.In any host run a netserver, and in this guest test nerperf w/ protocol UDP_STREAM

# netperf -H 10.66.106.3 -t UDP_STREAM -l 30

3.On the vnc window, try to type or click or send ctrl-alt-f2  

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

Expected results:
guest works well 

Additional info:
1.When resume from the stress, cat the log, that from doing stress.

will attach the whole log.

2. Test w/ vhost=on, not hit this problem, and test e1000, not hit this problem.
3. If you want to reproduce this, please set the time longer.

Comment 3 Qian Guo 2013-10-09 09:38:11 UTC 
Test this with 
# uname -r 
3.10.0-33.el7.x86_64
# rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-7.el7.x86_64

1.If enable zerocopytx, won't hit this issue, if disable zerocopytx, even set vhost=on, will hit this.

2.If set sndbuf=1048576, this issue disappears.

This is because vhost limit the max pending buffers.

Let's try to see if there's a workaround. Does using sfq in host or guest help to solve this issue?

Thanks
