Yes its latest. git log shows this commit as top:

commit 57028f01dcd263bcee41e00ddcda167a082ae075
Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

    Revert "Merge branch 'xen/dom0/backend/netback-tasklet' into xen/next"

    This reverts commit 528ea798f02ccb03023e72cbda665ed5c3eec6b1, reversing
    changes made to 6c004dff353a3588684bff1c0eac8b14a1b6f67e.


The Panic seems to originate from this code snippet:
        if (!xen_feature(XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap)) {
                set_phys_to_machine(page_to_pfn(new_page), INVALID_P2M_ENTRY);

                mmu.ptr = (new_mfn << PAGE_SHIFT) | MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE;
                mmu.val = pfn;
                err = HYPERVISOR_mmu_update(&mmu, 1, NULL, DOMID_SELF);
                BUG_ON(err);
        }

I will try if the patch Stefano Stabellini mentioned fixes the problem...


Thanks,
Arnd
