A HVM domian booting generates around 200K (evtchn:qemu-dm xen-dyn) interrupts,in a short period of time. All these evtchn:qemu-dm are bound to VCPU 0, until irqbalance sees these IRQ and moves it to a different VCPU. In one configuration, irqbalance runs every 10 seconds, which means irqbalance doesn't get to see these burst of interrupts and doesn't re-balance interrupts most of the time, making all evtchn:qemu-dm to be processed by VCPU0. This cause VCPU0 to spend most of time processing hardirq and very little time on softirq. Moreover, if dom0 kernel PREEMPTION is disabled, VCPU0 never runs watchdog (process context), triggering a softlockup detection code to panic. Binding evtchn:qemu-dm to next online VCPU, will spread hardirq processing evenly across different CPU. Later, irqbalance will try to balance evtchn:qemu-dm, if required.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
