[Xen-devel] RE: kernel BUG at arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:1872

[MaoXiaoyun <tinnycloud@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:
 
     I believe this is the fix at much extent.
     Since I have my own test cases which with this patch, my test case will success in 30 rounds run.
     Every round takes 8hours.  While without this patch, tests fail evey round in 15minutes.
 
      So this really means fix most of the things. 
 
      But during running, I met another crash, from the log it it looks like has relation with
this BUG, since the crash log shows it is tlb related and this BUG also tlb related.
 
      Well, I'm also have poor knowledge of kernel.
      Hope someone from Xen Devel offer some help.
 
      Many thanks.
