This problem happens using KMS surfaces and QXL driver. To easy reproduce use KDE Plasma (which use surfaces a lot) and assure you are using KMS surfaces (QXL driver on Fedora/RedHat has a patch to stop using them). Open some complex application like LibreOffice and after a while your machine get stuck using 100% CPU on Xorg. The problem occurs as creating new surfaces not interruptible wait are used however instead of returning ERESTARTSYS back to userspace you try to loop but wait routines always keep returning ERESTARTSYS once the signal is marked. On out of memory conditions TTM module try to move objects to system memory and QXL assure surface is updated before the move. The fix handle differently this case using no interruptible wait so wait functions will wait instead of returning ERESTARTSYS. Note the when the loop occurs driver will send a lot of update requests causing more CPU usage on Qemu side too.
I actually don't think we should be enabling surfaces upstream, I don't mind fixing the kernel driver to not be crap, but I really don't think surfaces really help the SPICE protocol.
I should h ave pushed the disable surface in all cases upstream, feel free to do so, they were a bad experiment, and nobody ever showed they were faster, or at least when they hit eviction paths they didn't plummet down the side of a massive cliff.
The reason this loops in -ERESTARTSYS is that the hw craps itself if you try and redo an operation, so you can't go back out to userspace and re-enter the kernel, just one of many bad design points in the QXL hw.
you should probably drop wait_for_io_cmd completely.
