Hypervisro kernel config file

Hello,

I have experienced two times in 48 hours a file system corruption on a QCOW2
image file running a linux Guest.

My configuration is the following:

Hypervisor:  
  - Gentoo Linux with a pure kernel 4.5.3, compiled manually.
  - QEMU 2.8.0 + KVM
  - /dev/md4, raid 1 with two identical partitions (/dev/sda4 and /dev/sdb4),
ext4
  - /dev/md4 is mounted under /mnt/md4 and it contains a single dir
/mnt/md4/kvm, encrypted  
  - after de-encrypting the /mnt/md4/kvm dir, it's bind-mounted in /kvm (mount
--bind /mnt/md4/ /kvm)
  - nothing else is actually running on the hypervisor, only an openssh server

Guest:
  - Gentoo Linux with a pure kernel 4.5.4, compiled manually
  - virtio drivers for disk, networking etc.
  - the whole image of the guest is a 250GB QCOW2 file, stored under
/kvm/xxx.qcow2 in the hypervisor's filesystem
  - the root partition is /dev/sda2 (about 230GB), EXT3

I'm running this configuration successfully on many other (even very busy)
deployments without any problem, the only difference in this installation is
the encrypted /mnt/md4/kvm directory on the hypervisor.

For two times in the lasts 48h I've found the root filesystem of the guest
(/dev/sda2) remounted in read-only mode after a detected write problem. Here is
the log from dmesg:

[[Guest]]
[208323.124266] blk_update_request: critical target error, dev sda, sector
231060144
[208323.124540] Aborting journal on device sda2-8.

Detected aborted journal
[208323.773233] EXT4-fs error (device sda2): ext4_journal_check_start:56:
Detected aborted journal


At the same time, on the hypervisor dmesg i have only this line:

[[Hypervisor]]
[596477.535490] ext4_bio_write_page: ret = -12

After that, I have to perform a reboot of the Guest. I've started the guest
from a gentoo iso and performed a fsck on the root (/dev/sda2) partition. This
is the output:

e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)

I attach the .config of the Hypervisor kernel.

Thank you in advance and best regards,

Andrew
