These extra qemu packages are not strictly required because xen.git already includes a private copy of some qemu.git snapshot. The included libvirt snapshot may not work as expected. Tools that rely on libvirt may also not work with the included libvirt snapshot. Olaf
Olaf - Thank you so much! I will look into these right away! All - There has been a bit of discussion on the Xen list about this. No developers have looked at it yet, but the current thinking seems to be that there is a bug that was introduced in 4.12. Another user reported that rolling back to 4.11 has fixed things. I have a dedicated host/guest pair that I'm using for testing. Under a fresh host and guest load of OpenSuse 15.1/Xen 4.12, the guest ran under my contrived stress testing at a higher load average, and the guest would stall in 24-48 hours. I reloaded just the host to OpenSuse 15.0/Xen 4.10, and repeated the same test. The guest (still at 15.1) is showing a lower load average, and *subjectively* seems to be performing much better than it did under 15.1/4.12... and has survived into day 3 so far without stalling. I have no idea what this means yet, but I hope I can get some insight from the Xen team as testing continues. Meanwhile, Olaf, thank you for this.
