My hardware and the way I run my VM are both now very different from back then, and I haven't had the issue described here for years. So either it was fixed or I'm no longer an accurate test subject. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscr

I haven't remembered to reset those interrupts in a year, but I also haven't remembered to update my drivers in about as long, so I could be still on the right setting. I've also been on AMD for that year, and I don't remember whether this bug applies to modern AMD cards. -- You received this bug

I have yet to try disabling swap, but in the 5 days since I downgraded the kernel to 4.12.12 from 4.12.13, I have not had a single BSOD. I think 4.12.13 is the culprit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.laun

Specifically 4.12.12, because it seems that was the last version I was running before this issue started (I was on 4.12.13 when it started). I, too, can't find any other package upgrade that could have possibly been the culprit. The timing of my upgrades of any qemu or libvirt packages rule them ou

I'm experiencing this BSOD issue as well. I'm also on Arch x64, and the same versions of everything (though not minimal qemu--just the normal package in the main repos).

Oh, that is interesting. Using lscpi -v on my computer reveals that Linux tends to default to enabling MSI on my PCIe devices that support it (since the common opinion is that it's better for PCIe), including all my graphics cards, so the fact that vfio-pci and Windows 10 both default to disabling

If your Windows VM does and always has a sound card being passed in (like the .1 address of your video card), then we can't know for sure that you don't have that other bug.

Hm. Sound was the issue in that other bug. Have you already confirmed that you don't have that other, similar bug? If you undo all the other fixes you've done, including enabling SND again, does the VM still crash if you have NO sound device assigned to it at all, whether it be a pass- thru device

Remember, I think we've done enough testing to know that it isn't specifically the VM shutting down that causes this, but the binding or unbinding of PCI devices in sysfs, which is something a VM will do on shutdown if you're passing hardware into it. It *is* caused by the VM running for more than
