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.
