Gah, there was an obvious typo, scratch that.
Below is a proper patch. Please try this one instead.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help, it stopped working again, after about 3h uptime.
Aha, then it might be rather other way round; dma_alloc_noncontiguous() doesn't work on Xen properly.
Could you try the one below instead of the previous?
Unfortunately, this one doesn't fix it either :/
Hmm. Then how about applying both of the last two patches? The last one to enforce the fallback allocation and the previous one to use dma_alloc_coherent(). It should be essentially reverting to the old way.
Oh, I noticed only now: the last patch made it fail to initialize. I don't see obvious errors in dmesg, but when trying aplay, I get:
