Re: [Qemu-devel] Steal time MSR not set properly during live migration?

[Alexandre DERUMIER <aderumier@odiso.com>]

Hi,

I have add this bug today on 3 debian jessie guests (kernel 3.16), after migration from qemu 2.3 to qemu 2.4.

Is it a qemu bug or guest kernel 3.16 ?

Regards,

Alexandre Derumier
