Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [Xen-dev] kernel BUG at arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:1860!
Konrad,

thanks for the fast response and your hint.
I suppose, I 'll have to recompile the debian standard kernel to integrate 
these patches or did I miss something?
If so, this drives me back to a non-standard system which I can't update by 
normal system-tools without taking special care.
Is there any other way to integrate these patches?

regards,
Guido

You need these two patches:

b2464c422fb44275deeb5770b668351860f68e0e
"x86: hold mm->page_table_lock while doing vmalloc_sync"
a8bf92faf72dba6e0dd2130256cb81c3e68f672b
"vmalloc: eagerly clear ptes on vunmap".
