Re: [Xen-devel] xm pause causing lockup



Probably easiest way to trace this is with printk's in Xen. The guts of the work is done by domain_pause_by_systemcontroller() in xen/sched.h. This in turn calls domain_sleep() in common/schedule.c. A particularly interesting place to look will be teh synchronous spin loop at the end of domain_sleep -- if the paused domain isn't descheduled for some weird reason then the spin loop would never exit and domain0 would hang.

Does dom0 wedge completely (e.g., unpingable) or might it just be xend
that goes awol? The pause code isn't that complicated, and most of it
is used in various not uncommon situations, so I'll be surprised if
this is the hypervisor's fault.
