When the guest OS freezes I get the following messages seen below. I would
like to know what is a good approach for debugging this issue. I am not
sure what a process stall is. Is that a deadlock?

But what is this perf output showing me then ? Are
generic_file_buffered_write , ext4_file_write etc all system calls ?
No, they're C functions inside the kernel.

There are 3 situations I can think of offhand, but I don't know which
one you are interested in:
1) Userspace does a read/write to a data page that is not memory
resident and the page is backed by a mmap'ed file.
2) Userspace does a

I am sorry, its still not clear to me. All I am asking is I want to know
and understand how mmap works, given an address *X*, how does the Linux
kernel figure out that *X* is an mmaped page?
Before you ask *how* it does it, first

So it seems the kernel module I am porting assumed to always run
on the same CPU core once entered kernelspace, but on a preemptive
system you cannot guarantee that.
Correct. You probably want to fix the assumption(s) in the kernel

You can even use filp_open(), vfs_read(), vfs_write() if sys_* is not

The reasons to not do file I/O from inside the kernel are many and well
documented. Of course,

This is ONLY a hint for finding the header files in the /usr/src/linux
directory. I do generally like this.
find include -type f | xargs grep kthread_run
Remember that there's arch-dependent headers as well. You may want this:

Hi
In 3.10.1 the system call table is in arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl
Only for x86. You're on an ARM or PowerPC or MIPS or any of the other 27
or so architectures we support, it's elsewhere. ;)

This patch will create a percpu structures compression algo.

I haven't seen any performance gain with this need to find the

My first guess is that the higher-level zram stuff is submitting

Try using strace and see if all of the different crashes have the same or

strace is userspace, and *highly* unlikely to track down random memory

Hello,
I am having a machine with two ethernet devices.
Is there a way to generate NETDEV_REGISTER or NETDEV_UNREGISTER
events, besides rmmod/insmod of
the device driver ?
What use case do you have for generating those at other times?

That's added by your syslog daemon (whatever that might be). It's
basically the value returned by /bin/hostname

Thanks, but unfortuantely this is not so.
On this machine I have:

Weird. Maybe you have a flaky syslog() call that writes UDP packets to the
local host, rather than using the unix-domain socket at /dev/log - when the
