Without reading the rest of the thread but seeing the kernel versions.
Can you check how you're communicating to xenstore? Is it via
/dev/xen/xenbus or /proc/xen/xenbus? Anything after 3.14 will give you
deadlocks if you try to use /proc/xen/xenbus. Xen 4.6 and newer should
prefer /dev/xen/xenbus. Same thing can happen with privcmd but making
that default didn't land until Xen 4.7. Since you're on the right
versions I expect you're using /dev/xen/xenbus but you never know.
