Unable to handle kernel paging request

Unable to handle kernel paging request

Hi,

booting a FC6 on my intel box (xeon) with a kernel 2.6.22.5 and KVM git, I had
the following error (not reproducible):

# kvm-userspace/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda fc6.qcow2 -net nic

Any idea of what happened ?

Re: Unable to handle kernel paging request

Correct me if I'm wrong, perhaps it's the bug Nitin is hunting.

There is always something wrong in the management in the REP prefix.

I think what is happen is:

- we have a REP prefix, we save ECX and EIP.
- we set c->dst to emulate a "stos"
- goto writeback
- writeback: we try a "write_emulated()" with c->dst
- write_emulated failed() AND WE DON'T RESTORE ECX AND EIP -> it's bad...
- exit to QEMU
- re-enter in x86_emulate_insn() with already modified ECX and EIP.

Any comment ?
(Yes, I know, it's again another bug I've introduced into KVM...)

To avoid this, I suggest that Nitin and yourself review each other's 
patches.  While I review every patch I commit, it works much better when 
someone who's involved daily with the code reviews the patch.
