Hi Yongkang, Alex,

I tried the latest cset 10419 too.
And the same problem was reproduced.
I think this may be caused by the "credit" scheduler.
Now our developers are researching this problem.

Setting
server      :tiger4
dom0mem     :512M
domUmem     :512M
domU cpus   :2
sched       :credit

Test details
create 3/10 hung with dom0.
destroy 4/7 hung with dom0.

Thanks,
Fujita
