OK,

I thought that if I download kernel from current I get the fixed version
from Manuel (in xbd_xenbus.c 1.16)
Apparently it is not so?
your kernel is from 20061025, long before I commited the fix



oh, I thought that fix was for the DOMU kernel. Is the current DOM0 / DOMU kernel good for production use (I think server will not be under high load)?
This far it has worked pretty well for with linux domU.

Yes, it's for the domU. Sorry, I misread your first mail.
Hum, there's still a possible race condition at attach time. Can you try
the attached patch ?


I can, after I have downloaded kernel source. You have commited version 1.20 of xencons.c and version 1.16 of xbd_xenbus.c. Are they the same version as these diffs?
