Hi People,

I had a crash of Xen [ 3.4.2 ] host today and the crash log was dumped in /var/crash/

While analyzing the crash log & call trace on this 24 PCPU host, I found that some of PCPUs were in idle state & many were having same call trace as 

PCPU7

Call Trace:

 [ffff828c8010e310] dump_domains+0x4d0

  ffff828c80175b7c  crash_nmi_callback+0x2c

  ffff828c801d6877  handle_ist_exception+0x52

  ffff828c801787b2  acpi_safe_halt+0x2

Only one PCPU has got call trace as

PCPU6

Call Trace:

 [ffff828c8010e310] dump_domains+0x4d0

Can anyone please help me understand this & try to find out crash cause ?

There are no error logs in messages or kernel at the time of crash.

I checked for C-States and it is set to 2.

Thanks.

This is a spinlock deadlock, resulting in the NMI watchdog timing out and killing the host.  Do you have Stack and register dump for PCPU6 ?
