XEN fails to run VM due to failure to open new loopback device after upgrade to RHEL 5.11
Issue
Due to a regression in udev XEN might fail to start a VM after upgrade to RHEL 5.11. This appears as a failure to open new loopback device
because loopback devices are not correctly released back to pool of free loopback devices.
Environment
