Only noticed now, but this is a known Xen bug[1] and was already mentioned here[2]. James Bromberger suggested exactly this approach[3], which seems to be adopted by CoreOS with success[4][5]. This was proposed at the "debian-kernel" mailing list[6] as well. Ian Campbell looks a little bit skeptical of compiling it as a module[7]. I'm not sure how things work at the Debian Kernel team, because they have to deal with a lot of use cases, taking care not to break anything. Can you talk to them to look at this possibility again? > I see thanks for explanation. You're welcome. > I've just double checked: Debian package doesn't have that change yet. This is another thing we're already talking about[8]. :-) [1]: http://bugs.xenproject.org/xen/bug/43 [2]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2014/11/msg00002.html [3]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2014/11/msg00003.html [4]: https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/208 [5]: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-overlay/pull/1206 [6]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2014/09/msg00229.html [7]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2014/09/msg00233.html [8]: https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/issues/278 -- Tiago "Myhro" Ilieve Blog: https://blog.myhro.info/ GitHub: https://github.com/myhro LinkedIn: https://br.linkedin.com/in/myhro Montes Claros - MG, Brasil
