I noticed exactly the same problem after moving from kvm-64 on a 2.6.25.3 host to kvm-74 on a 2.6.26.3 host. Adding to your observations: - CIFS shares are affected as well: Under heavy traffic I get timeouts from the server, see [1] - ne2k_pci and rtl8139 guests seem to be affected as well
Now the real bad part, I’m getting pings in the order of ms, like 20-100ms on a bridged connection… and NFS is going crazy...
My pings also increased from < 0.1ms to 16ms when the physical interface of the bridge was maxed out. Don't know, whether transferring from VM to VM would also trigger that.
I’m using smp on the guests (and the host), and 2.6.25 on the guests…
My guests where UP and mostly Windows Server 2003 and one Gentoo 2.6.26, so I think the culprit is elsewhere.
Where should I start looking? Is this a KVM-74 issue? Bump to KVM-75?
You might try kvm-64 which is rock-solid for me when paired with a 2.6.25 KVM kernel module.
