Ok, so it's likely a memory corruption. You need to check the bound you

general. Or maybe you just didn't allocate enough space.


But it fails at the xzalloc_bytes itself. not at copy function.

Because the previous copy may have overwritten the metadata of the
memory allocator...

If those metadata are corrupted, xalloc_bytes we act weirdly such as
crashing Xen.

Ok, will check it. Thanks.
