[Bug 316355] Re: Xen dom0 oops when using LVM: "NULL pointer dereference"

I still see this on 2.6.24-23-xen after dist-upgrading this morning.

To test it I ran dd of a 7G LVM volume to another 7G LVM volume. This is
a fairly reliable method of causing the NULL pointer dereference.

Once this bug has occurred I cannot perform any further LVM operations,
any attempt to do so puts the process into an uninterruptible sleep.

A reboot seems to be the only way to get the system usable again.
