Hmm, it looks the oops happened in do_direct_IO() somewhere in zero_user().
Just to verify - your program was doing direct IO on block device with block
size 512 bytes. Somehow the page user provided got freed before we got to it
(that could possibly be a fault of Xen's tap:aio if it plays some dirty tricks
ordinary userspace process couldn't do). So is tap:aio just an ordinary process
using AIO/dio or does it do anything special?
Regarding those EIO errors before - what filesystem do you use? There's a
problem in ext3 which could cause EIO return from direct IO writes when they
are combined with buffered writes.
