["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Juerg Haefliger, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  kvm brings Oneiric host to a grinding halt

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm running a Windows7 guest in KVM via libvirt/virt-manager on a
  Oneiric desktop 64-bit. Every once in a while (2-3 times a week,
  sometimes daily) the CPU usage goes berserk and the host becomes very
  unresponsive and unusable. This also happened once with a Breezy guest
  so it's not strictly a Windows issue. I'm just seeing it more often
  with Windows because that's what I run daily.

  More information attached, let me know what other info I should collect, the next time the machine is in that state.
