      I've see a few of these....

      Standard kernel, standard install of XCP 8.2. Server does keep running. Related to SMB ISO share going off-line?

      Linux xcp4 4.19.0+1 #1 SMP Tue Mar 30 22:34:15 CEST 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

          Also in my setup I see several kernel NULL pointer followed by a system crash and a reboot after several days. in log files (kern.log) there is a hole from several hours before the crash.
          XCP-ng 8.2
          CPU AMD EPYC Milan
          SMB ISO mounted on a self hosted VM based on windows 2019.
          Several error relater to this storage repository also in not used (no anymore ISO inside, and so no link on virtual DVD drive active).
          Now I delete this SMB ISO repo looking forward to see if the problem it's solved or not.... quite impressed for the chance to create a server crash with a similar bug... 😞

            Seems like it's also reported upstream

              @hoerup Ye we have reported it upstream after investigating and testing changes.

                It means the kernel tried to deference a null pointer. This generates a page fault which can't be handled in the kernel- if it's running a user task (but in kernel space), it generally makes an "Oops" which (uncleanly) kills the current task and may leak kernel resources. If it's in some other context, e.g. an interrupt, it generally causes a kernel panic.

                    Follow-up on this subject: a fix is still queued for the next kernel update on XCP-ng 8.2, and is already present in XCP-ng 8.3 Alpha.

                      An update candidate has a fix for this and should be published tomorrow as an official update.
