On guest with upstream's kernel(3.3.0-rc7), I

Then I did hotplug for virtblk via virsh on host as:
   a) # sudo virsh detach-disk guest vda
   b) # sudo virsh attach-disk guest /media/data/test.img vda

I encountered guest's kernel panic (*probability*
*event*)whose backtrace liked this:
Any news here? Managed to trace?

Sorry, I had a leave last week.

Does this still happen with 3.4-rc2?

I retested this with 3.4-rc2, but the panic couldn't be reproduced.
(Last time, It seemed that the upstream's kernel was 3.3-rc7)

There's a chance you are hitting a race fixed by
4678d6f970c2f7c0cbfefc0cc666432d153b321b.

If it's still not fixed it might make sense to enable slab debugging -
we might have a use after free here.


I don't think the below commit has fixed this panic issue, for it is included
in my last test environment(3.3-rc7).
4678d6f970c2f7c0cbfefc0cc666432d153b321b

Now, I'd find which commit makes sense.
