[Xen-devel] debian bugs: kaiser patch break pvh v1

[Hans van Kranenburg <hans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

At debian, we have reports of users that were apparently using PVH v1
with Xen 4.8 and Linux 4.9. After the debian kernel team included the
meltdown patches, PVH v1 breaks:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886591

So, my questions are:

1. Should we just gently tell the users that they were not supposed to
do that in the first place, and tell them to look for alternatives?

2. Well, not really a question, just a heads-up, maybe there's something
in here that you find interesting to look into. I have no idea if e.g.
the thing can be related to any problem in 4.14 or newer.

Regards,
Hans van Kranenburg
