Description RW 2010-02-10 08:17:07 UTC

There is a race condition when a lot of traffic goes though a virtio-net interface which causes that all services can't be reached anymore. To recover one has to unload virtio-net module and reload it. There is a patch available here:

I've applied the patch to qemu-kvm 0.12.2 and it solves the problem. See also:

Please include the patch into the ebuild.

Thanks
Robert
