Pavel,
I can reproduce your issue on my side with above patch (and only when
F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE is not set at DPDK vhost lib). TBH, I don't know
why that happened, the cause could be subtle, and I don't think it's
worthwhile to dig it, especially it's not the right way to do it.
So, would you please try to set the F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE flag on DPDK vhost
lib side, as my early diff showed and have another test?
On the other hand, I failed to find two identical server, the two closet
I found are E5-2695 and E5-2699, However, the MSI lost fatal bug still
occurred. I'm out of thoughts what could be the root cause. I'm asking
help from som KVM gurus; hopefully they could shine some lights on.
Meanwhile, I may need try to debug it.
Since you don't meet such issue, I'd hope you could have a test and
tell me how it works :)
Thanks.
