Hi Yu / Juergen,

This night I got a dom0 kernel crash on my new Ryzen box running Xen-unstable and a Linux-6.1.0-rc5 kernel.
I did enable the new and shiny MGLRU, could this be related ?

It might be related, but I think it could happen independently from it.

The kernel tired to reset the "accessed" bit in the pmd entry.

It does so only since commit eed9a328aa1ae. Before that
pmdp_test_and_clear_young() could be called only for huge pages, which are
disabled in Xen PV guests.

pmdp_test_and_clear_young() does a test_and_clear_bit() of the pmd entry, which
is failing since the hypervisor is emulating pte entry modifications only (pmd
and pud entries can be set via hypercalls only).

Could you please test the attached patch whether it fixes the issue for you?
