Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: normal
I have a dual-core host. I wanted to give one of my guests use of 2 vcpus and
use of both real cpus.
I had the following in my config file for the guest:
vcpus = 2
cpus = 0,1
This appeared to work correctly and I saw a big difference in the load average
(the guest is monitored by munin-node).
However after 12 hours or so, the guest simply stopped responding and froze. I
saw nothing obvious in the sar system activity report, the xend log, the guest
logs, guest syslog etc. It just froze at a localtime between 0647 and 0650 (if
thats significant?).
A quick Google found a few reports of the same issue but I did not go into more
details. I reverted to the default of vcpu=1 and no trouble has been had.

This kernel is known to have problems with SMP. It is no Xen bug.
