>Description:
after switching one of my machines from xen2 to xen3,
i occasionally (less frequently than once a day) see lwps in domU
stucking in "biowait", "vflushbuf". (and "vnlock").
i guess in some cases bio requests get stuck or lost?
i haven't successfully checked if it was the whole xbd or just
some requests being stuck.
- it's a single processor machine.
- both of dom0 and domU are netbsd-current.
(i haven't noticed the problem on linux domU yet,
but it can be a matter of luck.)
- it used to work fine with xen2.
