Devdutt.

Tim,

Yes, this is happening on the sending machine.

We just used the xen-unstable version from 2 weeks ago, and haven't really modified it.
We tried this with 64-bit versions of 2.6.31.6 and 2.6.32.8 DomU kernels.

Any suggestions on what might be a better bet in terms of xen, Dom0 and DomU kernel versions.
We wish to use 64-bit PV VMs for our experiments.

We have only been able to do a successful migration 3 times, out of maybe 30 odd attempts.

Thanks,
Devdutt.

Oh dear.  I take it this is on the sending machine. What version of Xen
are you using?

Does it happen every time or only intermittently?

Does it happen only with one particular guest or all 64bit guests?

Have you made any modifications to Xen?

It looks like the shadow pagetable code has got very confused - a page
is marked as shadowed but isn't in the hash-table of shadowed pages.

Cheers,

Tim.
