[Xen-users] RE: [Xen-devel] domU crash by large disk operations on dom0

["Artur Linhart - Linux communication" <AL.LINUX@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, Keir,

        Please, do You have any inforamtion what is the state of this error.
This is still reported in the version 3.2.1 by some people, the bug in
bugzilla is still open - for very very long time... 

http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1038

        I have seen in the last time You are the only person who adds some
new commits to the Xen repository, so I want to ask You, if You have any
information what can be done to avoid this problem...

        IF I yesterday compiled the Xen 3.2.1 source tarball downloaded at
5.5.2008 will this bug be still there? If I would take the current Xen
unstable, will this issue be still there?

        From unknown reasons it became a critical problem for us in the last
days, the domains are crashing now some minutes after the start (Oracle
Instance, which starts the reconstrukction of the data from previous crash
and the load starts to be big from the start - this is my guess why it
happens)...

        Any helps or informations about some solution or work-around would
be highly appreciated...

        Thany You in advance for help,

                Artur

Almost certainly this is a jump at bm->dma_cb() == NULL. Possibly a DMA
control block has been queued up twice or something like that.

This whole area of code is rewritten in qemu 0.90, as used in xen-unstable.
You may have success using xen-unstable's qemu-0.90 on xen 3.1.
