[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1032400: virt-manager: Windows 11 VM starts to cause system lock-up after upgrading to Bookworm

[Xiyue Deng]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:4.1.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have been using a virt-manager created Windows 11 VM on Bullseye for a few
years without problem.  Recently after upgrading to Bookworm after soft freeze,
it starts to cause my system to freeze and it does not accept any input.  I've
also created a cronjob that checks for network access every 5 minutes and the
script stopped working once this happens, which kind of confirms that the system
is locked up.  The only way to solve this is to force shutdown and restart the
system.

Right be for I upgrade to Bookworm, I was using packages with the following versions:
* virt-manager 1:3.2.0-3
* qemu 7.1+dfsg~2-bpo11+3
* Linux kernel 5.19.11-1~bpo11+1

Now
* qemu 1:7.2+dfsg-4
(with other package versions below).

I'm not sure whether this is an issue of virt-manager, qemu-system, or a Linux
kernel.  Please help triage this issue, and I'm willing to provide more
information and test to further diagnose this as instructed.

Thanks in advance.
