Re: [Xen-users] Re: XEN 3.1: critical bug: vif init failure after creating 15-17 VMs (XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vif)

[Keir Fraser <keir@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What dom0 kernel image are you running? It looks like vmalloc_sync_all(), called from alloc_vm_area() has not caused the pte that will map the rx ring to be made present in the currently-running page tables. The code looks okay on inspection though.

I have some free time tomorrow to debug this issue, but need some direction; this is in an area of XEN I don't understand very well.
