The backtrace is (innermost to outermost):
   d_lookup
   cached_lookup
   link_path_walk
   path_walk
   path_lookup
   __user_walk
   sys_lstat64
   system_call

The crash in d_lookup is due to a corrupted directory-entry hash-table
list. Doesn't look very Xen-related. This area of code isn't modified for
Xen, and no Xen drivers are involved in your data transfer.

I wonder if this is reproducible in native-x86 Linux, if you run it
with the same configuration?
