Re: [Xen-devel] credit2 domU freeze at "Writing SMBIOS tables ..."

Do you have "loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all" on your xen boot command-line?

Yes. My line is:

kernel /boot/xen-4.2-unstable.gz dom0_mem=1500M dom0_max_vcpus=4 iommu=dom0-passthrough sched=credit loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all com2=115200,8n1 console=com2

(I've also seen an error very similar to what that you're seeing with the extra logging turned off, but under different circumstances, so that one doesn't seem to require it.)

Is this just using credit2, or does it do the same thing under credit1?
I just re-tested with credit1, and it seems to do the same thing with
debug=y (on xen-unstable), you're right.

On 4.1 with debug=n and credit1, which is my normal configuration, it
doesn't appear to happen, or at least didn't happen over the 10 attempts
that I just made (it could be a rare problem on that setup). I may have
to do some additional testing with 4.1 credit2, 4.1 debug=y, and
unstable debug=n, but it's good that you're seeing something
reproducible on your end, at least (and with debug=y).

On my box, stubdoms with a 4-vcpu guest on credit1 fail too, with this
output on the console:
