[Xen-devel] frequently ballooning results in qemu exit

[Hanweidong <hanweidong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We created a 64bit SLES11 SP1 guest, and then used a script to change memory 
(using mem-set command) periodically (in 1 second): set 1G, set 2G, set 1G, set 
2G, and so on. 
After a few minutes, we encountered QEMU exit due to SIGBUS error. Below is the 
call trace captured by gdb:

The call trace:

It looks mapcache has something wrong because memcpy failed with the address 
from mapcache. Any ideas about this issue? Thanks!
