I suspect there's a bug in xen-pvfb, possibly triggered by save/restore.

If I run X on pvfb, running a couple of instances of something busy
like glxgears, and then do a few rounds of save/restore, one of my
"events" kernel threads goes into 100% CPU spin and X stops
responding.  I'm not sure what it's doing, but after a while the
softlockup detector triggers:

INFO: task X:3408 blocked for more than 240 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Implicates drivers/video/fb_defio.c (author cc'ed).  Jaya, any ideas?

Well, looking at that code, it would seem that fb_deferred_io_work() is spinning indefinitely while holding the mutex, which suggests that the page list has got corrupted somehow. Not obvious where though...
