After few minutes I booted windows 7 64 bit domU qemu crash, tried 2 times

In the domU's qemu log:

In attachment the full backtrace of qemu crash.
With a fast search after I saw the backtrace I found a probable cause of
regression (I'm not sure):
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=staging/qemu-upstream-4.5-testing.git;a=commit;h=5c3402816aaddb15156c69df73c54abe4e1c76aa
spice: make sure we don't overflow ssd->buf
Added also qemu-devel and spice-devel as cc.
If you need more informations/tests tell me and I'll post them.
Maybe you could try to revert the offending commit
(5c3402816aaddb15156c69df73c54abe4e1c76aa)? Or even better bisect the
crash?
Thanks for your reply.
I reverted to 4.5.0 on dom0 for now on that system because I'm busy trying to
found another problem that cause very bad performance without errors or
nothing in logs :( I don't know if if xen related, kernel related or other for
now.
About this regression with spice I'll do further tests in next days (probably
starting reverting the spice patch in qemu) but any help is appreciated.
Based on data I have for now is possible that the problem is that qemu try to
allocate other ram or videoram after domU create but with xen is not possible?
In the spice related patch I saw something about dynamic allocation for
example.
It is probably caused by a commit in the range:
1ebb75b1fee779621b63e84fefa7b07354c43a99..0b8fb1ec3d666d1eb8bbff56c76c5e6daa2789e4
there are only 10 commits in that range. By using git bisect you should
be able to narrow it down in just 3 tests.
Sorry for delay, I was busy with many things, today I retried with
updated stable-4.5 and also reverting "spice: make sure we don't
overflow ssd->buf" (in a second test) but in both case regression remain :(
Tomorrow probably I'll do other tests.
