When developing the Windows GPLPV drivers I crashed my Dom0 (and
therefore all DomU's) on a few occasions. That was under 3.0.3, 3.0.4,
and possibly some early 3.1.x versions of Xen. As crashing was the exact
opposite of what I was trying to do, I didn't pursue it, but obviously
it has been possible in the past to cause a crash by doing something
wrong in the PV side of things.
Is there a limit on the amount of data you can write to the xenstore?
Overflowing some limit in xenstore could be one method of causing a
crash.
Interesting data point, and question.
Thank you,
Vasiliy
