I neither see the bug, nor can I reproduce it on x86_64 on KVM.  I
doubt that dma vs. non-dma is relevant.  I tried -net user a -net tap
with iperf running in both directions.  I also tried switching
virtio_pci into non-DMA-API mode.  No errors.

Is there any chance that you could instrument that BUG_ON to print n,
i, in_sgs, out_sgs, total_sg, total_in, and total_out?  I assume this
is some oddity with patch 1, but I'm mystified.

Thanks,
Andy

I must be doing something wrong, since virtio_net isn't sending me
through that code path at all.  This may be related to ethtool
refusing to enable scatter-gather on my NIC.  This happens on
vhost-net and QEMU's implementation.  Grr.

Can you change the code to something like:

        if (i != total_sg) {
                printk(KERN_ERR "i=%d total_sg=%u total_out=%u total_in=%u
out_\
sgs=%u in_sgs=%u\n",
                       i, total_sg, total_out, total_in, out_sgs, in_sgs);
        }
        BUG_ON(i != total_sg);

and try to capture another oops?

Sorry to ask for debugging help for something that's explicitly
designed not to affect your arch :-/

What version of QEMU?  Can you two cat the "features" file in the
virtio-net device's sysfs directory?
