Aron,
Seems we have two method, maybe we can use xen-unstable.hg to generate xenlinux patch as
first choice or talk to redhat side and persuade them pulling CSet from xen-unstable.hg
just at it syncing with xen-ia64-unstable.hg. If so, it will reduce unnecessary extra work
more :)
Just FYI.
Thanks & Best Regards

Xiantao,
Thank you for tracking this down! Unfortunately we can't simply
rebase the patch because it is made by Juan from linux-2.6.tip-xen
rather than directly from xen-unstable... i.e. we do not own the
patch, and it is constantly being remade without our intervention.
Because of the method Red Hat uses to generate this patch, this
problem will continue to occur. I will bring up the issue today,
because I think we need to find a long-term solution to this problem.
Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Aron

Hi Fenghua/Aron
This issue should be caused by mismatch of xen and xenlinux's Cset. Xen's
version should be xen-unstable.hg's Cset 10314, but xenlinux not based
xen-unstalbe.hg's 10314 and seems that it based xen-ia64-unstable.hg's Cset
10314. If so, it will cause unpredictable aftermath. The obvious phenomena is
that one page of xen0's kernel code was flushed and triggered breakfault at
last. Seems we should rebase linux-2.6-xen.patch to xen-unstalble's Cset 10314
first?
Thanks & Best Regards
