I don't believe this is a libvirt issue - the 'virsh reset' command will issue the 'system_reset' QEMU monitor command. This in turn does an immediate reset of the guest CPUs/machine. Even if QEMU is doing the wrong thing, the kernel should obviously never freeze/crash in this way - it should be robust against a malicious QEMU process. You should probably send this message to the main QEMU and/or KVM mailing lists so that it comes to the attention of people who are more familiar with QEMU + virtio-net Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

Thanks for your response. Mateusz hit the same issue[1] as well. OK, here we go. poma [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2013-July/436984.html

OK, is this a side effect or not, but certainly kernel[1] with 'bridge-timer-fix.patch'[2] resolves issue aforementioned, so far.
