On some of our xen-dom0 machines running 3.14.x we have a problem of domU's
freezing. This has been fixed in:

and the patch has been included in 3.16.x, but I cannot find it in the
current longterm releases. We have an open gentoo bug report about it:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517852

This bug doesn't happen on all xen-dom0 machines, but I can confirm that on the problematic machine after applying the aforemention patch, the problem gone away and the system has been running for 60 days without problems.

Please consider applying the patch to the longterm kernels.

For networking patches, please ask on the networking mailing list, they
will handle getting them into the stable kernel releases.

thanks,
