[Xen-devel] Mini-OS and Xend issue

["Puthiyaparambil, Aravindh" <aravindh.puthiyaparambil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am seeing a strange issue while running Mini-OS on the changeset
9906:a95e677073c1. This is on both i386 and x86_64. The only difference
being on i386 if I stop printing to the console, this issue is not
manifested. But with x86_64 it happens all the time.

Bringing up Mini-OS for the first time causes xm to hang on certain
commands like "list, destroy". Other commands like "vcpu-list" continue
to work. Once I restart xend, the problem goes away and does not show up
again. This happens only on fresh boots.

I did a little tracing on "xm list". (xm log is at the bottom)

xm list ends up calling
xm/main.py: xm_list()->getDomains()->server.xend.domains(1)
This ends up in
xend/XendDomain.py: xen_domains() -> xc.domain_getinfo()
This ends up in
lowlevel/xc/xc.c: pyxc_domain_getinfo()

Strange thing is that can see the last debug print in getDomains before
it called xen_domains() and the last print in xen_domains(). But I
cannot see the next print in getDomains(). Is a locking issue with
"domains_lock" happening somewhere? 

Could someone shed some light on this as to how I can move forward in
debugging this issue?

Thanks,
