Juergen,

It doesn't look like this has been fixed. I managed to get my 4.1.2 server to crash when setting the weight of Domain-0 (running in Pool-0 using credit2) and again when moving some cpus into a new cpupool which was set up to use the credit2 scheduler.

Yeah, I could reproduce your problems on my machine.

George, I see two problems in credit2:

- when setting the weight of dom0, vcpu_schedule_lock_irq(current) will be
 taken in sched_adjust() of schedule.c and again in csched_dom_cntl() of
 sched_credit2.c resulting in a deadlock.

- removing a cpu from a cpupool seems not to work for credit2. I removed all
 but cpu 0 from Pool-0 and the dom0 vcpus were all active on cpus 1-3. It
 took some time until they moved to cpu 0 (verified via 'r' hotkey on the
 xen console).

IMO the problem is choose_cpu() not using CSCHED_CPUONLINE(). The comment

 /* Leave it where it is for now. When we actually pay attention
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ * to affinity we'll have to figure something out... */

suggests the solution isn't too easy...
