Description Erik Damrose univentionstaff 2014-06-23 12:25:40 CEST 
A customer reported a kernel OOPS on the Xen Host while rebooting a Xen VM (2014052521004965).

The Xen Host is running kernel 3.10.0-ucs58-amd64

The error is caused by the xen netback subsystem. More information and a preliminary patch, which seems to fix the problem in the customer environment, is available on the xen-devel list: http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-06/msg00818.html
Comment 1 Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2014-06-24 08:55:48 CEST 
Once a final patch is merged into Linux git, please send it to stable tree so that it ends up in a future 3.10.x release:

Patch which prevents the Kernel OOPS

The original patch was slightly refined: The skb which would cause the error is now properly discarded if the virtual interface is no longer mapped.
Comment 3 Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2014-07-01 12:59:42 CEST 
Will be added along with Bug 34751
