Re: [Xen-devel] kernel BUG at arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:1860!

[Andreas Olsowski <andreas.olsowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, this is too bad.

I encountered this bug when xen 4.0 was released, around the time 
development on 2.6.31 was halted.
That is why i stuck with 2.6.31 when everyone else went with 2.6.32,
because i determined 2.6.32 was not fit for duty and im guessing it 
still isnt today.
The bug occures on 2.6.32 xen kernels ( maybe even newer ones) and is 
distribution unrelated, i was running debian 5.0 then, i am running 6.0 
testing now and even have tried compiling all the userland stuff myself.
This is error can be encountered during a number of different actions:
1.) any action with lvm (start, stop, create, delete)
2.) while starting multipathd (restarting too, of course)

Sometimes the box only hangs there and no further device mapper 
interactions are possible. This is where i got my syslog entry from.
Back in 2010 i had to serial console the server and stuff like that to 
see the whole error.

my guess is everything one does with the device mapper can and will 
trigger this sooner or later.
Does anybody have any kind of insight on what the problem may be?

Here is my syslog part when i ran "/etc/init.d/multipath-tools restart":
