Re: [Xen-devel] domU crash with kernel BUG at drivers/net/xen-netfront.c:305

[Vasily Evseenko <svpcom@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
There are no clear steps to reproduce.
Bug triggered only by high tcp network load (webserver pattern - many
small connections) every one - two days.
See xen, dom0 and domU's info in attachment. I can provide any
additional info.
I've tried dom0/domU kernels 3.10.23 (vanilla, from centos-xen) and
3.10.25,  xen 4.2.3 and 4.3.1.
