Hi all, I tried with the patch at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-09/msg00394.html The patch is applied to qemu-3.0.0. Below configuration is used to test the feature for guest VM nvme. # qemu-system-x86_64 \ -smp 4 -m 2000M -enable-kvm -vnc :0 -monitor stdio \ -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5022-:22 \ -drive file=virtio-disk.img,format=raw,if=none,id=disk0 \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk0,id=disk0-dev,num-queues=2,iothread=io1 \ -object iothread,id=io1 \ -device nvme,drive=nvme1,serial=deadbeaf1 \ -drive file=blkdebug:blkdebug.config:nvme.img,if=none,id=nvme1 # cat blkdebug.config [delay] event = "write_aio" latency = "9999999999" sector = "40960" The 'write' latency of sector=40960 is set to a very large value. When the I/O is stalled in guest due to that sector=40960 is accessed, I do see below messages in guest log: [ 80.807755] nvme nvme0: I/O 11 QID 2 timeout, aborting [ 80.808095] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x4001 However, then nothing happens further. nvme I/O hangs in guest. I am not able to kill the qemu process with Ctrl+C. Both vnc and qemu user net do not work. I need to kill qemu with "kill -9" The same result for virtio-scsi and qemu is stuck as well. About blkdebug, I can only trigger the error by the config file. Is there a way to inject error or latency via qemu monior? For instance, I would like to inject error not for a specific sector or state, but for the entire disk when I input some command via qemu monitor.
