The overhead was significant enough, the fast case this time was 132 seconds. The following slow case had 209 seconds (still slower but not more by factors). While the overhead might have influenced the absolute timing of this too much. It still might help indicate the size/frequency distribution of these calls that we wanted to know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838575 Title: passthrough devices cause >17min boot delay Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Adding passthrough devices to a guest introduces a boot delay of > 17 minutes. During this time libvirt reports the guest to be "paused". The delay does not seem to scale with the # of hostdevs - that is, 1 hostdev causes about a 17min delay, while 16 only bumps that up to ~18min. Removing all hostdevs avoids the delay.
