Hi Juergen,
We run Xen as dom0 with Windows domU's.
Now with older 4.9.x kernels, we had BSOD's when we booted a domU with
old Xen drivers in it.
With the newest kernel (4.9.34), this seems to be resolved.
I was wondering what caused this. And that patch triggered my attention
:)
Thanks
Jean-Louis

Hi All,

Now when we upgrade to the most recent 4.9.x kernel. The issue seems

Could it be that the following commit fixes the issue:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=84d582d236dc1f9085e741affc72e9ba061a67c2
?
As far as I can see it only breaks Xen < 4.0. But could it be it also
breaks Windows VM's with old Xen drivers?
Umm, I don't get it.
Are you using Windows or Linux? Above commit is for the Linux kernel
running as HVM domain. It shouldn't be able to modify behavior of a
Windows guest at all.
