[Xen-devel] PV dom0 crash: kernel NULL pointer dereference in evtchn_from_irq

[Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

From time to time, during intensive tests I get the dom0 crash like
below. This is PV dom0, running on Xen nested inside KVM.
I don't really know when it started happening, I've got it on at least
those versions:
 - Xen 4.8.5 + Linux dom0 4.19.94
 - Xen 4.13.0 + Linux dom0 5.4.25
 - at least once also on physical hardware (Xen 4.13.0 + Linux dom0
   5.4.x)

Contrary to the other issue, here suspend is not involved, it is just
intensive system usage - multiple VM startups, involving some I/O,
network traffic etc. This happens rather rarely (I'd say about 1-3% of
tests).
To be honest, I'm not really sure if the bug is in Xen-related code at
all, or if Xen functions are in the call trace only because it is PV
dom0.

Full crash message:
