Since moving from 4.4 to 4.6, I’ve been seeing an increasing number of stability issues on our hypervisors. I’m not clear if there’s a singular root cause here, or if I’m dealing with multiple bugs… One of the more common ones I’ve seen, is a VM on shutdown will remain in the null state and a kernel bug is thrown: xen001 log # xl list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 6144 24 r----- 6639.7 (null) 3 0 1 --pscd 36.3 [89920.839074] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88020ee9a000 [89920.839546] IP: [<ffffffff81430922>] __memcpy+0x12/0x20 [89920.839933] PGD 2008067 [89920.840022] PUD 17f43f067 [89920.840390] PMD 1e0976067 [89920.840469] PTE 0 [89920.840833] [89920.841123] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [89920.841417] Modules linked in: ebt_ip ebtable_filter ebtables arptable_filter arp_tables bridge xen_pciback xen_gntalloc nfsd auth_rpcgss nfsv3 nfs_acl nfs fscache lockd sunrpc grace 8021q mrp garp stp llc bonding xen_acpi_processor blktap xen_netback xen_blkback xen_gntdev xen_evtchn xenfs xen_privcmd dcdbas fjes pcspkr ipmi_devintf ipmi_si ipmi_msghandler joydev i2c_i801 i2c_smbus lpc_ich shpchp mei_me mei ioatdma ixgbe mdio igb dca ptp pps_core uas usb_storage wmi ttm [89920.847080] CPU: 4 PID: 1471 Comm: loop6 Not tainted 4.9.58-29.el6.x86_64 #1 [89920.847381] Hardware name: Dell Inc.

This hypervisor was only up for a day, had almost no VMs running on it since boot, I booted a single windows test VM which BSOD’ed and then this happened. This is on xen 4.6.6-4.el6 with 4.9.58-29.el6.x86_64. I see these issues across a wide number of systems with from both Dell and Supermicro, although we run the same Intel x540 10gb nic’s in each system with the same netapp nfs backend storage.
