[Xen-devel] grant table unmap failure makes guest unreapable and causes xen oops

[Kip Macy <kip.macy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just hit this so I don't fully understand it yet, but it looks like
there may be some race condition with grant_table unmap requests and
garbage collection of domain memory on crashed guests.

My centos4 domU isn't finding its init (this may be the breakage in
file-backed VBDs that Mark mentioned - it was finding it a couple of
days ago) and thus calls HYPERVISOR_crash:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 92k freed
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

[root@rs0 ~]# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU VCPU(s)  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0           0      251            0         1       r----     1013.3
rhel4_0               1          0            3         1        ----c
         0.5     9601

The following errors show up on the console:

(XEN) (file=grant_table.c, line=500) Bad handle (0).
(XEN) (file=grant_table.c, line=500) Bad handle (49152).
(XEN) (file=grant_table.c, line=500) Bad handle (49792).
(XEN) (file=grant_table.c, line=500) Bad handle (0).
(XEN) (file=grant_table.c, line=500) Bad handle (61440).

And the guest never goes away.

[root@rs0 ~]# xm destroy 1
[root@rs0 ~]# xm list

restarting xend here is interesting:

[root@rs0 ~]# xend start
