Re: [kernel-6.5-bug] with xen-4.18~rc4 on ub-24.04 noble, booting xen domU shows UBSAN errors in blkback & netback drivers

Similar trouble in domU, independent of the dom0 kernel:

domU is giving far more trace output.

Hello,

These 2 errors show in dmesg late in boot process when xen domU launch:

1)  blkback

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /build/linux-D15vQj/linux-6.5.0/drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c:1227:4

2) netback

The xen sources don't seem to generate these UBSAN errors and I included the patch from staging-4.18. It seems only the xen related kernel drivers are

doing UBSAN errors.

BTW the dom0 works fine. The xen-4.18~rc4 debian delta was a forward port from Jammy.

cheers,
