Thanks Boris. I spent a bit of time and got a VM running with a xen 4.9 hypervisor and a kernel with this patch series. It a ubuntu bionic VM with the distro's xen stuff. Can you give some guidance how you made it crash? I see the VM autoloaded gntdev: Module Size Used by xen_gntdev 24576 2 xen_evtchn 16384 1 xenfs 16384 1 xen_privcmd 24576 16 xenfs And lsof says several xen processes have the chardev open: xenstored 819 root 13u CHR 10,53 0t0 19595 /dev/xen/gntdev xenconsol 857 root 8u CHR 10,53 0t0 19595 /dev/xen/gntdev xenconsol 857 860 root 8u CHR 10,53 0t0 19595 /dev/xen/gntdev But no crashing.. However, I wasn't able to get my usual debug kernel .config to boot with the xen hypervisor, it crashes on early boot with: (XEN) Dom0 has maximum 8 VCPUs (XEN) Scrubbing Free RAM on 1 nodes using 8 CPUs (XEN) .done.
