still issues with virtio / macvtap and bridge (host lock-up)

[Reartes Guillermo]

Hi,

I recently tried with a guest (network: virtio: macvtap: bridge) and
this caused the host
to lock-up or panic as soon as the guest was powered on.

I opened bug 1038343.

Cheers.

Hi,
Ive never seen the point of macvtap. If someone can explain maybe I can use it....

Many thanks,
James Harrison

I just marked that BZ as a duplicate of

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025770

which has been tracking that problem for a bit over a month. Every
kernel since at least 3.11.6-200 on F19 has had that problem, and it
continues on F20 and rawhide.

I'm not sure what to do to get more visibility of the bug to the kernel
people, but it is rendering macvtap completely unusable on all releases
of Fedora.

Can you add a comment for Bug 1025770 noting that you're also
experiencing the problem on F20, and include the kernel version you're
running?
