[Xen-devel] DOM0 falling off of network when running latest FreeBSD
Am I missing some important configuration change between -testing and -unstable?

Are you sure you''ve tracked these? E.g. network device MTU and backend MAC configuration.

It turns out I had missed a couple of lines when updating blkfront.c &
ctrl_if.c. Fixing the ring sizes in blkfront.c fixed the problem with
DOM0 not getting any CPU time and fixing ctrl_if.c fixed the issue
with device set up. Not surprisingly it was my fault, but I think that
long term xen needs to be a little more vigorous in containing
misbehaved guests.
Thanks.

Backend reconnects on one domain should not be effecting others. Xen itself already is pretty robust to evil guest kernels, but DoS''ing xend is rather too easy at the moment. The new tools should hopefully fix this.
