[Xen-devel] From XenProject.org Q&A: Kernel panic - xen-netfront driver bug?

[Russ Pavlicek <russell.pavlicek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex asks the following question on the XenProject.org Q&A system.
Can anyone provide an answer for me to post (or can someone post an
answer directly)?

Thanks!

----------------------

I'm running Xen 4.3.0-7 on Arch, compiled from AUR.

I have tried reinstalling Xen with 4.3.1-0 and 4.3.0-4 but had the
same issue with both. I've been very happy with the setup until now.

I only run into this issue when transferring large amounts of data
between my Windows VM and my unRAID vm. In this case it was my 80GB
photo library, so lots of small files - not one giant one, that
reliably causes this kernel panic. It happens after less than 1 minute
into the transfer.

I frequently transfer 10GB+ movie files from another VM, which runs
Arch also, as my usenet box. This occurs without issue several times a
day so it appears to me that the issue lies in the Windows / unRAID
communication specifically. Beyond me to know what though. HELP!?

I'm not sure what other information would be needed to help me so
please if you need more, just ask.
