Well, the patch does not fix hanging VMs, which have been shutdown and
can't be killed any more.
Because of the stack trace
[<ffffffffc0d0e3c5>] vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait+0x35/0x60 [vhost_net]
[<ffffffffc0d0f264>] vhost_net_ioctl+0x304/0x870 [vhost_net]

[<ffffffff9b78e7ab>] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
I was hoping, that the problems could be related - but that seems not to
be true.
Does anybody have any idea what happened here and how to analyze / fix it?
Thanks,
Andreas
