Subject: Re: KVM in -next is somewhat busted

Message-ID: <1265640532.3457.17.camel@aglitke> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4B70229D.4080603@redhat.com>

This is probably fixed by this patch from Rusty... Strangely, I have not
seen this on my test systems.

When running under qemu-kvm-0.11.0:

	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 56e58955
	...
	Process vballoon (pid: 1297, ti=c7976000 task=c70a6ca0 task.ti=c7
	...
	Call Trace:
	 [<c88253a3>] ? balloon+0x1b3/0x440 [virtio_balloon]
	 [<c041c2d7>] ? schedule+0x327/0x9d0
	 [<c88251f0>] ? balloon+0x0/0x440 [virtio_balloon]
	 [<c014a2d4>] ? kthread+0x74/0x80
	 [<c014a260>] ? kthread+0x0/0x80
	 [<c0103b36>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x30

need_stats_update should be zero-initialized.
