Olaf - Thank you so much! I will look into these right away! All - There has been a bit of discussion on the Xen list about this. No developers have looked at it yet, but the current thinking seems to be that there is a bug that was introduced in 4.12. Another user reported that rolling back to 4.11 has fixed things. I have a dedicated host/guest pair that I'm using for testing. Under a fresh host and guest load of OpenSuse 15.1/Xen 4.12, the guest ran under my contrived stress testing at a higher load average, and the guest would stall in 24-48 hours. I reloaded just the host to OpenSuse 15.0/Xen 4.10, and repeated the same test. The guest (still at 15.1) is showing a lower load average, and *subjectively* seems to be performing much better than it did under 15.1/4.12... and has survived into day 3 so far without stalling. I have no idea what this means yet, but I hope I can get some insight from the Xen team as testing continues. Meanwhile, Olaf, thank you for this.
