Hi,

I'm observing Linux PV/PVH guest crash when I resume it from sleep. I do
this with:

      virsh -c xen dompmsuspend <vmname> mem
      virsh -c xen dompmwakeup <vmname>

But it's possible to trigger it with plain xl too:

      xl save -c <vmname> <some-file>

The same on HVM works fine.

This is on Xen 4.14.1, and with guest kernel 5.4.90, the same happens
with 5.4.98. Dom0 kernel is the same, but I'm not sure if that's
relevant here. I can reliably reproduce it.

This is already on my list of issues to look at.

The problem seems to be related to the XSA-332 patches. You could try
the patches I've sent out recently addressing other fallout from XSA-332
which _might_ fix this issue, too:

Thanks for the patches. Sadly it doesn't change anything - I get exactly
the same crash. I applied that on top of 5.11-rc7 (that's what I had
handy). If you think there may be a difference with the final 5.11 or
another branch, please let me know.


Some more tests reveal that this seems to be s hypervisor regression.
I can reproduce the very same problem with a 4.12 kernel from 2019.

It seems as if the EVTCHNOP_init_control hypercall is returning
-EINVAL when the domain is continuing to run after the suspend
hypercall (in contrast to the case where a new domain has been created
when doing a "xl restore").
