I'd like to share more analysis on given problem. I do not know if this somehow helps or not, but i have noticed that across all my saved serial log outputs, panic messages follow after some of these lines. .. (XEN) HVM d34v0 save: TSC_ADJUST (XEN) HVM d34v0 save: CPU_MSR (XEN) HVM34 restore: CPU 0 xnb(xnb_detach:1330): xnb(xnb_detach:1339): .. => panic Most of panics are like this .. (XEN) HVM d26v0 save: TSC_ADJUST (XEN) HVM d26v0 save: CPU_MSR (XEN) HVM26 restore: CPU 0 .. => panic .. (XEN) HVM d42v0 save: TSC_ADJUST (XEN) HVM d42v0 save: CPU_MSR (XEN) HVM42 restore: CPU 0 xnb(xnb_detach:1330): xnb(xnb_detach:1339): xnb(xnb_detach:1330): xnb(xnb_detach:1339): .. => panic This one i think had different stressing conditions than other's, but i don't remember .. (XEN) HVM d660v0 save: CPU_MSR (XEN) HVM660 restore: CPU 0 (XEN) d659v0: upcall vector 93 spin lock 0xffffffff81eaa780 (sched lock 1) held by 0xfffff8020152d000 (tid 100434) too long timeout stopping cpus panic: spin lock held too long .. => panic For serial output in middle when there are no crashes i have noticed that there are at least 2 different execution paths. For most VM's boot flow continues with serial lines like these: .. (XEN) HVM1 restore: CPU 0 xnb(xnb_probe:1123): Claiming device 0, xnb xnb(xnb_attach:1267): Attaching to backend/vif/1/0 xnb(xnb_frontend_changed:1391): frontend_state=Initialising, xnb_state=InitWait (d1) HVM Loader .. For some though, there are lines like these, but they still boot, it just seemed that these lines might be a possible continuation for "unsuccessful panic". .. (XEN) HVM3 restore: CPU 0 xnb(xnb_detach:1330): xnb(xnb_detach:1339): xnb(xnb_detach:1330): xnb(xnb_detach:1339): xnb(xnb_probe:1123): Claiming device 0, xnb xnb(xnb_attach:1267): Attaching to backend/vif/3/0 xnb(xnb_frontend_changed:1391): frontend_state=Initialising, xnb_state=InitWait (d3) HVM Loader .. Why those lines starting "xnb(xnb_detach:1330):" do not have any message? Could it be that there is a bad pointer to message buffer that can not be printed? And then sometimes panic happens because access goes out of allowed memory region? Line numbers are just somewhat informational, since those messages are from across all my tests, various configs, versions. Yesterday i set up system with FreeBSD 13.1-STABLE, still can crash, same panic. What i do not know about those xnb messages is, to which VM they are related, since serial output is shared and on parallel while VM1 might be created, VM2 is starting or being destroyed. Thanks.
