I just don't get how you are the only person seeing this - and you have

something when this happens (or before)? Or the Xen hypervisor:
maybe a message about L1 pages not found?
It'd be worth ensuring that the requires guest_loglvl and loglvl
parameters to allow this is in place on the hypervisor command line.
Nothing in Xen's output correlates at the time of the domUs crashing,
however we don't have guest log levels turned up.
Are these reports against totally unpatched kernel.org domU kernels?
Yes - unpatched domUs.
And the dom0 is 2.6.18, right? - Did you update it (I know that the Red Hat guys
have been updating a couple of things on it).
2.6.18 from xenbits, all around changeset 931 vintage.
Any chance I can get access to your setup and try to work with somebody
to reproduce this?
Konrad, that's a fantastic offer and much appreciated. To make this
happen I'll need to find a volunteer customer or two whose activity
reproduces this problem and who can deal with some downtime -- then
quarantine them off to an environment you can access. I'll send out the
word...

kernel BUG at mm/swapfile.c:2527!
This is "BUG_ON(*map == 0);" which is subtly different from the error in
the original post from Peter which was a "unable to handle kernel paging
request" at EIP c01ab854, with a pagetable walk showing PTE==0.
I'd bet the dereference corresponds to the "*map" in that same place but
Peter can you convert that address to a line of code please?

(gdb) list *0xc01ab854
0xc01ab854 is in swap_count_continued (mm/swapfile.c:2493).
2488
2489 if (count == (SWAP_MAP_MAX | COUNT_CONTINUED)) { /*
incrementing */
2490 /*
2491 * Think of how you add 1 to 999
2492 */
2493 while (*map == (SWAP_CONT_MAX | COUNT_CONTINUED)) {
2494 kunmap_atomic(map, KM_USER0);
2495 page = list_entry(page->lru.next, struct
page, lru);
2496 BUG_ON(page == head);
2497 map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;
(gdb)
map came from a kmap_atomic() not far before this point so it appears
that it is mapping the wrong page (so *map != 0) and/or mapping a
non-existent page (leading to the fault).
Warning, wild speculation follows...
Is it possible that we are in lazy paravirt mode at this point such that
the mapping hasn't really occurred yet, leaving either nothing or the
previous mapping? (would the current paravirt lazy state make a useful
general addition to the panic message?)
The definition of kmap_atomic is a bit confusing:
/*
* Make both: kmap_atomic(page, idx) and kmap_atomic(page) work.
*/
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
but it appears that the KM_USER0 at the callsite is ignored and instead
we end up using the __kmap_atomic_idx stuff (fine). I wondered if it is
possible we are overflowing the number of slots but there is an explicit
BUG_ON for that case in kmap_atomic_idx_push. Oh, wait, that's iff
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM, which appears to not be enabled. I think it would
be worth trying, it doesn't look to have too much overhead.
My next build will be sure to include CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM. Maybe
that'll lead us to a discovery.
Another possibility which springs to mind is the pfn->mfn laundering
going wrong. Perhaps as a skanky debug hack remembering the last pte
val, address, mfn, pfn etc and dumping them on error would give a hint?
I wouldn't expect that to result in a non-present mapping though, rather
I would expect either the wrong thing or the guest to be killed by the
hypervisor
Would it be worth doing a __get_user(map) (or some other "safe" pointer
dereference) right after the mapping is established, catching a fault if
one occurs so we can dump some additional debug in that case? I'm not
entirely sure what to suggest dumping though.
Ian.
