>Hi:
>
> Follow George's suggestion to summit the bug in this new thread.
>
> Start 24 linux HVMS on a physical host, each of them reboot through "xm reboot" every 30minutes.
> After several hours, some of the HVM will crash.
>
> All of the crash HVM are stopped during booting.
> The bug still exists even I forbid page sharing by cheating tapdisk that xc_memshr_nominate_gref()
> return failure. No bug if
memory sharing is disabled.
> (This means only mem_sharing_nominate_page() are called, and in mem_sharing_nominate_page()
> page type is set to p2m_shared, so later it needs to be unshared when someone try to use it)
>
> I remember there is a call routine in memory sharing,
> hvm_hap_nested_page_fault()->mem_sharing_unshare_page()
> compare to the crash dump, it might indicates some connections.
