Description

This has happened twice apparently during the nightly hammer run, but also happens at other times. The computer reboots, without dumping a kernel core, so I have no way to tell what causes it. It happens at least once every two days and started recently. I'm running v3.1.0.93.g7ca562-DEVELOPMENT.

Hi Pierre,

If it reboots maybe there is something in dmesg, can you please upload
the output of 'dmesg -a' somewhere?

Thanks,
Antonio Huete

Here's the output of dmesg -a. I doubt it has anything useful, as the computer rebooted when I was asleep, waited for the password, continued booting, and failed to start X, so I had to reboot it again.

turn off cstates in bios, and let me know what happens.

Updated by phma about 12 years ago

Here are three partially written periodic files. Each one shows that hammer got to the reblock phase of maintaning a filesystem, but not the recopy phase. None of them got to /crypt0, which is a pfs in /crypt/.

Also, typing "mount" to see what's mounted triggers either the kernel debugger or a reboot.

I got a dump! I switched to the text console a few minutes before the periodic job was scheduled to start. A few minutes later, I got the kernel debugger. I called dumpsys and rebooted. It said "LK_RELEASE: no lock held." I'll pass it to Matt as soon as I can get a hold of him.

Could you post the backtrace from core.txt or from a kgdb session on the kernel dump? That'd be pretty useful to tracking down the errant LK_RELEASE.

Thanks!

Okay; the backtrace here:

We were finding an unlocked vnode of VT_PROCFS; it turned out to be the root vnode from linprocfs.

linprocfs_allocvp contained a vx_unlock() of the vnode it had just allocated in the new-vnode case; this should be removed. (linprocfs_subr.c:223); it should be returned a locked vnode here. If not, the root vnode was not locked when we were in the namecache.

linprocfs also should use a vhold_interlock() around its vget() loop, and perhaps shouldn't synchronize with the pfs_token. It is likely still racy; probably the same fixes done to procfs this release cycle should be applied to it?

Any update on this?

Actions #9

Updated by phma about 12 years ago

I had forgotten to leave linprocfs mounted while hammer runs. I have verified that typing "mount" when linprocfs is mounted no longer causes a problem. It is mounted now; I'll let you know what happens tonight.

I have, since the fix, seen the computer reboot for no apparent reason when I tried to log on to an X session as another user. Any idea why?

The computer ran its periodic and stayed up all night.
