[Xen-users] openSuSE kernel-xen bug (netback deadlock issue)
Hello,
As mentioned by Boris here
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2010-07/msg00817.html
there is a serious bug in kernel-xen 2.6.34-12, which is the default dom0 kernel
for the latest 11.3 release.
Good news is the bugzilla.novell.com has covered it and a fix is available in
KOTD (also noted by Boris).
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623286#c12
I wasted considerable time struggling with my 11.3 dom0 install, until realizing
that I was up against the same bug. The KOTD solved it, but the factory kernel
(2.6.34-14.x) didn''t. Don''t waste your time importing the
factory repo and installing kernel-xen from there.
I ran my 11.3 dom0 for weeks before a path typo in disk=[] triggered this bug.
Everything worked great: old VM''s and new PV installs too. Only a vbd
path error brought the deadlock. When a vbd error stopped ''xm
create'', the vifx.0 was not released and was stranded after the domU
closed.
