Public bug reported:
A Windows 10 iGVT-g guest is crashing if left idle for too long. "Too
long" can mean hours or even minutes with no load. The QEMU command line
is:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name Windows 10 -nodefaults -M pc,usb=true
-machine kernel_irqchip=on -enable-kvm -mem-prealloc -mem-path

Normally, I use the machine pc-i440fx-3.1 but I set the latest one (pc,
or pc-i440fx-4.2) for testing, which didn't fix this freeze.
In this state, it's not possible to reclaim the memory and the virtual
GPU, they are stuck until the computer is powered off. After this QEMU
guest freeze, it is impossible to power off the computer cleanly: it's
required to forcefully shutdown, as the system fails to
The telnet server from the guest still connect, but doesn't respond.
I installed the OEM kernel to get the 5.14 version of the kernel.
Testing with drm-tip (commit 7c36ed237585ed2f645439e62dafccac070d5e33,
from August), I was able to left the guest idle for hours with no
problem multiple times, but using Ubuntu's generic (5.4, 5.8, 5.11) or
oem (5.14) kernel this freeze is happening.
