Description Victor Toso 2015-05-18 07:24:08 UTC

With patches from: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-May/019796.html

While copying big files from guest to client by putting those files in the shared folder, the sessions freezes.
channel-webdav and spicevmc have a heavy workload repeating the following debug over and over again. (I've included a debug on phodav to check the amount of data requested each time, which is 8192 bytes).
The sessions is normal once the file has been copied.

Client and Guest: f22
Using spicy with latests spice-gtk git with above patches applied.

Just a quick test lowering the I/O priority to G_PRIORITY_LOW does not help.

Comment 2 Victor Toso 2015-06-02 16:02:56 UTC

I'm not being able to reproduce anymore, I'll try with bigger files soon.

Tested again with bigger files (2GB and 4GB)
The session does not freeze anymore but the session is obviously slower. It should be enough to decrease channel-webdav priority while copying to improve the user experience.
