I tried xen and linux the latest code, 
# xm dmesg | grep "Xen version"
(XEN) Xen version 4.2-unstable (root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) () Tue Jul 12 06:51:41 CST 
2011

Dom0:
# uname -r
3.0.0-rc6-XYZxen

Guest
# uname -r
3.0.0-rc6-XYZxen

without the patch, after detach the device by xm block-detach timeout also 
umount hang in guest.
with my patch, xm block-detach timeout in Dom0, umount in guest worked!

Thanks,
Joe
