Yeah, I could reproduce your problems on my machine. George, I see two problems in credit2: - when setting the weight of dom0, vcpu_schedule_lock_irq(current) will be taken in sched_adjust() of schedule.c and again in csched_dom_cntl() of sched_credit2.c resulting in a deadlock. - removing a cpu from a cpupool seems not to work for credit2. I removed all but cpu 0 from Pool-0 and the dom0 vcpus were all active on cpus 1-3. It took some time until they moved to cpu 0 (verified via 'r' hotkey on the xen console). I tested on xen-4.1-testing cs 23182.

Juergen,

It doesn't look like this has been fixed. I managed to get my 4.1.2 server to crash when setting the weight of Domain-0 (running in Pool-0 using credit2) and again when moving some cpus into a new cpupool which was set up to use the credit2 scheduler.
