I experienced a bug that is likely the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1350373 . Commit b7dd0e350e0bd4c0fddcc9b8958342700b00b168 , which is supposed to fix it, doesn't appear in this kernel and doesn't apply cleanly either. Is there any point in trying to backport the patch?
I had the same kernel panic while booting a PV domU on
3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.centos.plus.x86_64. I had to start the domU again to boot correctly. Can this patch be added to the CentOS 7 kernel-plus?

I can certainly add the patch (commit b7dd0e350e0bd4c0fddcc9b8958342700b00b168) to the Plus kernel. It would be best if you could file a request on http://bugs.centos.org so that we can track it better.

A CentOSPlus kernel set with the referenced patch applied is available for testing at:
https://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/7/plus/xen/
Feedback appreciated,
Akemi
Thanks for the build Akemi. I will try to test this kernel in the next days however it will be hard to know if it fix the kernel panic because I can't reproduce it. It's seems to be random and pretty rare in my case.
The test kernel doesn't boot on my side:

I switched back to 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.centos.plus.x86_64.
Looks as if the patch broke something before it could fix the problem...
