  Hi,

With the small debug patch below and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y I get
plenty of these messages in the dom0 kernel log as soon as I
start a domU:

  Slab corruption: start=dc423000, len=4096
  Slab name: xen-skb
  000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

This is hg1a7383f849896e60f8be631c96fa2b461f502615.

any idea?

  Gerd
