[Xen-devel] DomU panic in net_rx_action; changeset 7503:20d1a79ebe31
Posted this to -users a while back; no response, and I''ve observed it a
second time (with fewer modules loaded), so now posting to -devel.
Per subject, this is changeset 7503:20d1a79ebe31. It''s a little bit
old,
granted, but I''ve been keeping an eye on -devel and haven''t
seen
anything that looks explicitly like a fix being applied.

[Xen-devel] DomU panic in net_rx_action *initiated by another DomU*; 7503:20d1a79ebe31
Pardon me replying to my own post; it was only after hitting "send" on
the first one I took a closer look and found a much more interesting
(and worrisome) aspect to the issue I''ve been seeing: Another DomU
crashed with the same error at the same time. This one was testing an
experimental Linux kernel patch (impacting procfs handling of symlinks),
and particularly unstable for that reason. It''s interesting, though,
that the other DomU (without any such patch applied) appeared to be
impacted as well by the same issue.
This appears to be reproducible.
From the DomU initiating the issue [running an experimental kernel
patch and exercising a bug in that patch]:
Bad rx buffer (memory squeeze?).

The "experimental kernel patch" in question is a unionfs patch found
at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.unionfs.general/638,
when applied to UnionFS 1.1.1 (a different release than that it was
initially developed against, though the patch applies cleanly). The bug
is repeatedly observable for me when playing with ifup on a system
running said patch with a root filesystem on a unionfs mount. If anyone
is interested in reproducing it and is unable to do so on the
information I''ve provided so far, let me know and I''d be glad
to try to
offer additional details.
