[libvirt] xen/libvirt freeze while attching network-device to vm´s - question about provided patches

[Guido.Rossmueller at gdata.de]

Hello,

we have tested the provided patches from Jim Fehlig.
Our testsetup based on an Fedora 23 with xen 4.6.1 and libvirt 2.1

The testsystem restores 15 vm´s (WindowsXP , HVM) in parallel, attached a block-device to each vm and an nic, run´s the vm 60 sec and then destroy them.

The testsystem did 18150 restores and we observe no problems.

so from our side it looks realy good and we would embrace, if the patches would be include in the libvirt code.

all the best
guido

Well, during my testing of the patch I found that on occasion libxl was not
delivering a shutdown event to libvirt. But after re-reading the patch thread
I'm not sure how I mis-interpreted Ian Campbell's suggestion here

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-November/msg00851.html

I've posted a much simpler patch implementing Ian's suggestion, which so far is
working great in my testing

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-September/msg00970.html

Can you please test that patch in your environment and report back? Thanks!

Regards,
Jim
