I've got a patch I'm about to send so I'll CC you. Another option is to disable the large decrementer with: -machine pseries,cap-large-decr=false Thanks, Suraj > > Thanks, > > C. >
Series contains 2 patches to fix the host in kernel handling of the hcall h_set_dawr. First patch from Michael Neuling is just a resend added here for clarity.
