[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1021649] [NEW] qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Public bug reported:

qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot.  Please don't ever do this.

Try the attached test script.  When run it will initially print nothing,
until you hit a key on the keyboard.

Removing -nographic fixes the problem.

Using virtio-scsi instead of virtio-blk fixes the problem.

I don't see this problem.  Are you sure you're not using the bios from
Fedora?  Perhaps it's configured incorrectly.

[Michael Tokarev]

This is a bit more interesting.  I've got a bugreport in debian about
the same thing, and verified it in debian qemu-kvm package - indeed,
with -nographics, upstream 1.1 qemu and qemu-kvm refuses to boot without
an extra keypress, but only when kernel_irqchip is enabled.  Ie, the
following requires keypress:

  qemu -machine pc,accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=on -nographics
  qemu-kvm -nographics

and the following does not:

  qemu -machine pc,accel=kvm -nographics
  qemu-kvm  -no-kvm-irqchip -nographics

Thanks,

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1021649] Re: qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot

[Michael Tokarev]

when the guest is waiting for the keypress, it is sitting in KVM_RUN
ioctl and eating 100% CPU.  When enabling Seabios debugging, the last
lines before the stall is this:

Returned 57344 bytes of ZoneHigh

Booting from Hard Disk...

So far it only happens when "booting" from a VIRTIO hard disk.  With IDE disk it boots fine.

So, in order for it to actually stall,

  qemu -machine pc,accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=on -drive file=foo,if=virtio
-nographics

is needed.

That is a very good bug triage that you did!

However "main_loop_wait: block indefinitely" only increases the maximum
select timeout of QEMU's main_loop.
That mean that if one or more emulators have bugs and don't get
notifications correctly they might hang.
The reason why it only reproduces with nographic is that both sdl and vnc
introduce a gui_timer that wakes QEMU up every 30ms.

So the question is: why is kernel_irqchip=on required to repro the bug?
It strikes me as a bug in kernel_irqchip that prevents QEMU from being
waken up when it should.

kernel_irqchip=on means that many guest timers and interrupt sources are
removed from qemu and implemented in the kernel, so qemu sees a lot less
wakeups and hangs.  With kernel_irqchip=off the APIC or PIT wakes up
qemu, taking the place of the keypress.

[Georg Hopp]

I encountered the same thing and created a patch that fixes the problem
for me.

This is not a real fix. All i have done is the following:
- Clone the repo. 
- Get a reverse diff for the commit in question "git diff 7c7db75..4ffd16f >foo1.patch".
- Try to apply this on master "patch <foo1.patch" and skip all files that could not be found.
- And finally do a "git diff >remove-7c7db75.patch"

As i am a gentoo user i applied this patch within my ebuild and

You're not implying the key press waking up qemu was a planned thing
are you?  Becuase it doesn't work at all when console is a -chardev pty
device.  With -machine kernel_irqchip=on -display none -chardev pty,...
qemu simply hangs and consumes as much cpu as it can, attaching to the
terminal and sending data does nothing.  I'd hate to think that's the
new normal.

I am not.

It's not.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1021649] Re: qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot

[Paolo Bonzini]

The patch at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/162828
fixes it for ioeventfd=on (the bug is that the ioeventfd is not added to
the select() arguments), but I and Avi disagreed on whether
ioeventfd=off works. :)

Jamie/Richard/Georg, can you test your respective reproducers without
any patch but with -global virtio-blk-pci.ioeventfd=off?

  qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot.  Please don't ever do this.

  Try the attached test script.  When run it will initially print
  nothing, until you hit a key on the keyboard.

  Removing -nographic fixes the problem.

  Using virtio-scsi instead of virtio-blk fixes the problem.

Works for me with ioeventfd=off. (Debian's qemu-kvm 1.1.0+dfsg-3 on amd64)

[Thomas Huth]

Can this issue still be reproduced with the latest version of QEMU, or
can we close this bug nowadays?

No this refers to a very old version of qemu.  This bug should be
closed.
