Kernel panic during boot in usb_add_task
0%
Description
I tried my brand new HP Compaq laptop 6710b under DragonFly, but during booting
the installer CD it "throws" a page fault:
uhub0: 2 ports ...
uhub0: <Intel UHCI root hub, ...>Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x0
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc04a9c5c
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc25f8d38
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc25f8d48
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gram 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = Idle
current thread = pri 46 (CRIT)kernel: type 12, code=2
stopped at usb_add_task+0x4c: movl %edi,0(%eax)This happens with the latest snapshot version as of yesterday and also with the
1.10 release.
FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 silently hangs during boot, while NetBSD 4.0RC_4 works like a
charm (it can even dual-boot windows natively)!
There exists a thread on dragonfly.kernel named "Kernel panic during boot in
usb_add_task" about this issue.

The "bug" disappears if I compile a kernel without USB support.

Smells of a null pointer dereference to me.

Could we get a backtrace and/or a crashdump?

Can you do a traceback ? The 'trace' command from the DDB prompt,
I believe.-Matt

The exception occurs in TAILQ_INSERT_HEAD(&taskq->tasks, task, next),
more precisely, looking at the macro expansion, in
*(&taskq->tasks)->tqh_last = task.
So it looks like tqh_last is a NULL ptr which presumably means that
the list head has not been initialized yet.
Maybe usb_add_task() is called before usb_create_event_thread() (which
initializes usb_taskq[]).

This is fixed in revision 1.44 of src/sys/bus/usb/usb.c.

Hello,
I also have a HP 6710b laptop, and when I first got this panic I started hunting
for devices, and I noticed that the crash is triggered only when the bluetooth
adapter is enabled in BIOS and when it is already started at boot time, so I
disabled it from BIOS as a workaround.
I'm going to re-enable it and see if it works.
Thanks for the fix and huge amounts of beer to the one who did it ;)
Regards,
Cristi
