[Xen-devel] new(?) big ugly crash

[Derek Glidden <dglidden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

fresh pull and build tonight.  doing "/etc/init.d/xend stop" caused a 
lot of havoc starting with:
Kernel panic: Failed to execute MMU updates

from the dom0 kerne and then a ton of consecutive Oopses and the 
machine immediately rebooted.  This is but the first of a series of 
Oopses from xfslogd.  (Which probably tried to sync disks when it 
Oopsed to save data, which caused another Oops, making XFS try to sync, 
etc...)
I'm rebuilding the dom-0 kernel with more debugging options turned on 
(which I thought I had done) so if this happens again, maybe I'll have 
better data.
I notice that the Oops stack passes through some IDE writing routines, 
and I'm wondering if the recent crash-fix might not mess up XFS's 
pagebufs somewhere.  XFS has its own set of filesystem cache structure 
type things (I wish I had a more accurate explanation...) that it 
manages itself to keep in sync with filesystem data and what it's 
buffered in memory.  Is it possible that the recent fixes might 
interfere with/bypass this and cause corruption/desynchronization of 
filesystem cache and XFS pagebufs?  I assume from the missing #include 
when I first started playing with Xen not too long ago that none of the 
developers are using XFS and so would not have ever looked at this data 
path through XFS?
