Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] BUG grant_table.c line 939
Hi Kier,

The destroyed domain does linger as a zombie, just not quite long enough
to avoid the crash. ;^)

The sequence of events:
1) domA shares page with domB
2) domB shares pages with domA
3) domA maps domB's page
4) domB maps domA's page
5) DomA crashes, is torn-down and lingers as a zombie.  No BUG_ON(rd ==
NULL) occurs here, since the rd is domB which is still healthy.
6) DomB crashes, Xen starts the tear-down.
7) Xen calls domain_destroy() on domA !!!!!
8) Xen crashes in gnttab_release_mappings() with the BUG_ON(rd == NULL)

So, why does Xen call domain_destroy() on domA?  I but a BUG_ON(1) in
domain_destroy(), and lo, the console produced the output below.  My
guess is that domA is destroyed via some callback waiting for its
zombified mapping to be released.  

Thanks,
-steve

The domain is not immediately killed when it crashes, and should still
be returned by find_domain_by_id() for example.

When this crashed domain is finally killed by the control tools, it will
then have all its page tables destructed, and that should find and
destroy and foreign mappings (calling put_page as appropriate). See
domain_relinquish_resources().
