Usually it will come back. However, sometimes not. Eg, I just tried "openssl
speed" on Solaris on Qemu, and it never came back - just using 99% CPU for
over an hour.
In trying to debug this problem and try find vaguely wherein qemu the
problem lies, I've observed that strace'ing the spinning qemu'ing
will cause it to become responsive again.
I've actually taken to running my more important qemu instances with
a backgrounded strace attached, with strace output directed to
/dev/null.
Anyone know why qemu sometimes become unresponsive, and why does
stracing qemu make it become responsive again? (for me, typically
when stressing qemu, eg running 'openssl speed' or some big java
application). Am I the only one who experiences this?
