Title: serial8250: too much work for irq3 Status in QEMU: New Bug description: It's know issue and sometimes mentioned since 2007. But it seems not fixed. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2008-02/msg00140.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986761 http://old-list-archives.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-02/msg00696.html I don't think fixes like increases PASS_LIMIT (/drivers/tty/serial/8250.c) or remove this annoying message (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3920801/) is real fix. Some fix was proposed by H. Peter Anvin https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/7/485. Can reproduce on Debian Strech host (Qemu 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u2), Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Qemu 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.15) also tried to use master branch (QEMU emulator version 2.10.50 (v2.10.0-766-ga43415ebfd-dirty)) if we write a lot of message into console (dmesg or dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ttyS1). /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name guest=ultra1,debug-threads=on -S -object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,file=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-27-ultra1 /master-key.aes -machine pc-i440fx-2.8,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest- core=off -cpu Skylake- Client,ds=on,acpi=on,ss=on,ht=on,tm=on,pbe=on,dtes64=on,monitor=on,ds_cpl=on,vmx=on,smx=on,est=on,tm2=on,xtpr=on,pdcm=on,osxsave=on,tsc_adjust=on,clflushopt=on,pdpe1gb=on -m 4096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -uuid 4537ca29-73b2-40c3-9b43-666de182ba5f -display none -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-27-ultra1/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=delay -no-hpet -no-shutdown -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot strict=on -device ich9-usb- ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8.0x7 -drive file=/home/dzagorui/csr/csr_disk.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive- ide0-0-0 -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive- ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=26,id=hostnet0 -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:a9:4c:86,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=charserial0,host=127.0.0.1,port=4000,telnet,server,nowait -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev socket,id=charserial1,host=127.0.0.1,port=4001,telnet,server,nowait -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial1,id=serial1 -device virtio- balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -msg timestamp=on To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1719339/+subscriptions
