            Bug ID: 263072
           Summary: System freezes during reboot when vmm module is loaded
                    inside a QEMU/KVM virtual machine
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bhyve
          Assignee: virtualization@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dasebek@gmail.com

FreeBSD system running inside a QEMU/KVM virtual machine freezes during a
reboot when the vmm kernel module is loaded.

- How reproducible:

Always

- How to reproduce:

1. Install FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE or 13.1-RC1
2. run the following commands as root:
# kldload vmm
# reboot

- Expected behavior:

The system reboots.

- Observed behavior:

The reboot proceeds as usual up until the point when the "Rebooting..." mes=
sage
is displayed and the machine should restart. But instead of restarting, the
screen goes blank, but the CPU usage remains high, and the virtual machine
hangs until I do a hard power-off of the virtual machine.

- Affected versions:

Guest OS:
The problem occurred on all FreeBSD versions that I tested. Namely,
FreeBSD 13.1 built from releng/13.1 on April 4, 2022
FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE
FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE built in October 2021

Hypervisor:
I used QEMU version 6.2.0 (qemu-6.2.0-5.fc36) together with virt-manager
version 4.0.0. It doesn't matter whether I choose the Q35 or i440FX chipset=
 or
BIOS or UEFI boot in the VM settings.
The problem is also present when running FreeBSD in a DigitalOcean droplet.

I don't know how loading the vmm module affects the system reboot. It could
also be an issue with the QEMU/KVM hypervisor itself. But without the vmm
module loaded, the machine reboots correctly every time.
