Re: [Xen-devel] xm pause hangs up on Xen 4.0]

[Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This might be a side effect of using 4.0, blktap2, and a very new pv_ops
kernel. blktap2 support added code to pause/unpause blktap2 devices on the
domain pause/unpause path (I don't know why -- no other backend device type
needs such special treatment) -- it looks like that which is hanging on this
particular dom0 kernel. Try not using blktap2, or try an older pv_ops
kernel, or even try removign the obvious blktap2-specific code from the
pause and unpause methods in xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py in xend.
