Hi Shannon:
I’m reporting that commit 38cd0664a6bf1c3b887992ea029d2bb516f52c59 is causing a
hang in the `xl create windows7` command on my skylake desktop. This is a
regression from previous behavior.
commit 38cd0664a6bf1c3b887992ea029d2bb516f52c59
Author: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao@linaro.org>
Date: Wed Sep 28 18:19:02 2016 -0700
libxl/arm: Add the size of ACPI tables to maxmem
Here it adds the ACPI tables size to set the target maxmem to avoid
providing less available memory for guest.
Signed-off-by: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao@linaro.org>
Acked-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>
I’ve was able to chase down this patchset by bisecting between
40277cded320efa32b86c0c9f01e33145eab5ee4 and
343f84be135e6f9e681960a9e235296eae159fc8.
I’ve confirmed that reverting 38cd0664a6bf1c3b887992ea029d2bb516f52c59 cleanly
avoids the hang.
I'm wondering how best to go forward,
Regards,
-Paul

I think it has been fixed by commit 031655d "libxl: fix issues in 38cd0664".

Thanks Haozhong.
That would be my guess as well -- without having the knowledge of which
changeset Paul tested or some more logs.
Wei.

HaoZhong/Wei:
Yes, looks like 031655d "libxl: fix issues in 38cd0664" fixed it.
My master was at 40277cde, which was the last changeset before 031655d.
Thanks for the response.
-Paul
