Interesting! I didn't come across that when digging into this.

It looks like this hasn't been followed up on at all  since April:
https://lists.gt.net/engine?list=linux;do=search_results;search_type=AND;sea
rch_forum=forum_1;search_string=ldisc%20reopened&sb=post_time

Currently I've got ~40 dom0's running with the patch on 4.9.44-39 and it's
resolved all stability issues, previously I was seeing multiple crashes a
week.

Cheers,
