Bug Description
After upgrading from qemu 2.10.0+dfsg-2 to 2.12~rc3+dfsg-2 (on debian sid host), centos 7 guest started to show freezes and ata errors in dmesg during hdd workloads with writing many small files and repeated fsyncs.
Host kernel 4.15.0-3-amd64.
Guest kernel 3.10.0-
Script that reproduces the bug (first run usualy goes smooth, second and later runs result in dmesg errors and freezes):

Sample of error messages in guest dmesg:

This vm is launchd using virsh start. VM launch command (from logfile in /var/log/

A workaround that I am using right now: I have detached this SATA storage and reattached the same .qcow2 file as SCSI - this has fixed the issue for me.
Copying command line into bug so we don't lose it:
