Hi,

Just joined this list, looking for leads to solve a similar-sounding problem
(guest processes hanging for seconds or minutes when host IO load is high).
I'll say more in a separate email, but I caught the end of this thread and
wanted to ask about kvm-clock.

Naively I'd have thought that using the wrong clock would not actually *cause*
hangs like this. Or is that what you're implying?



Using the wrong clock easily causes hangs. The system schedules a wakeup in 3 ms, wrong clock causes it to wakeup in 3 years, you get a hang for (3 years - 3 ms).

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
