Juergen,

It doesn't look like this has been fixed.  I managed to get my 4.1.2
server to crash when setting the weight of Domain-0 (running in
Pool-0 using credit2) and again when moving some cpus into a new
cpupool which was set up to use the credit2 scheduler.

Yeah, I could reproduce your problems on my machine.

George, I see two problems in credit2:

- when setting the weight of dom0, vcpu_schedule_lock_irq(current)
will be
   taken in sched_adjust() of schedule.c and again in csched_dom_cntl()
of
   sched_credit2.c resulting in a deadlock.

Yes, this one was recently brought to my attention.  Unfortunately I'm
not sure when I'm going to be able to get to it.

My big problem is actually testing; I don't have a good way to test
xen-unstable effectively right now.  Juergen, if I were to send you a
prototype patch, could you test it and fix it up if it doesn't work
exactly right?


Sure.


Juergen
