           Summary: Machine reboots after 5 hours of continous
                    creation/destruction of a single VM
           Product: Xen
           Version: 2.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux-2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: Unspecified
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: maiden1134@xxxxxxxxx


Detailed summary:  
Using XEN 2.07 on an AMD Opteron machine (FC3 minimal install), I ran a simple 
bash script that uses "xm" to create a new VM, sleep for 30 seconds, lists the 
VM, shuts down the same VM and lastly sleeps for 30 seconds/destroys the VM 
just in case. The loop is repeated 1 million times. After about 5 hours of 
operation, the machine rebooted on its own (I assume there was some sort of 
really bad crash in the kernel). I do not see any error messages in xend's log 
or the message log. This is 100% reproducable (3 out of 3 runs - although it 
takes several hours for the problem to appear).

I originally hit this problem with an application I had developed that creates 
and shuts down VMs under XEN using "xm". After running the application for 
about 10 hours, the machine rebooted on its own. I figured it was something 
related to XEN so that's when I created the test script described above and 
ran it overnight. It appears that something is going wrong most likely during 
creation/destruction of a VM. The funny thing is that it appears to be dying 
almost after the same amount of time between different runs (about 5 hours).

The script I used was the following (the VM I used boots and shuts down within 
30 seconds):
for (( i=0; i<1000000; i=i+1 ))
do
   xm create myvm.cfg
   sleep 30
   xm list
   xm shutdown myvm
   sleep 30
   xm destroy myvm
done

myvm.cfg VM config file (any VM boot image will do, bind it 
to /dev/loop1: "losetup <image file> /dev/loop1"):

name="myvm"
