Hi Cornelia,

sorry I should have been a little more precise. I am using current master for git.qemu.org.

I tried around and I can only reproduce the regression with iSCSI *and* dataplane enabled.
Here is the reproducing commandline for me.

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -nodefaults -drive if=none,format=raw,file=iscsi://172.21.200.56/iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-98f384e0a-7d2004ee0a85767a-00lieven-test/0,cache=none,aio=native,id=disk0 -object iothread,id=iothread0 
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk0,iothread=iothread0 -vga vmware -monitor stdio

Have you the possiblity to install Ubuntu 14.04 on an iSCSI target?

Let me know if you need further information. Maybe the regression is an incompatiblity between the iSCSI driver and ioeventfd?

Thanks,
Peter
