It would be nice to be more specific in the commit message here, by
describing what kind of guest behaviour or machine config runs into this
problem, and whether this happens in a situation users are likely to
run into. If the latter, we should consider tagging the commit
with "Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org" to have it backported to the
stable release branches.
Thanks! I'll update the commit message with v2. We were seeing this in our infrastructure with unaligned accesses using the pointer dereference as there are no guarantees on alignment of the incoming values.
thanks
