Hi Sitsofe,
Thanks for reporting the issue!
I suppose you're using  the latest mainline v3.17-rc1(7d1311b9).

Can you please attach your kernel config file so that I can try to reproduce
the issue more easily?

Do you mean the issue only happens to UP guest and doesn't happen to
SMP guest?

Thanks,
