Package: linux-image-2.6.21-2-vserver-sparc64 Version: 2.6.21-5 Severity: normal
Booting 2.6.21-2-vserver-sparc64 will not start vservers with dlimits in place, complaining "vdu: readdir(): Bad address" (meaning a return of EFAULT). Further, vserver-stat produces its header but no servers, despite that servers without dlimits were successfully started by the init scripts. Some stracing makes it look like the root cause is a getdents64() call with its data pointer only aligned mod 4, not mod 8. However, booting 2.6.18-4-vserver-sparc64 works but gives a host of dmesg output like Kernel unaligned access at TPC[4b72d0] filldir64+0x54/0x134 Kernel unaligned access at TPC[4b72ec] filldir64+0x70/0x134 Kernel unaligned access at TPC[4b72b8] filldir64+0x3c/0x134 when starting vservers. Despite these warnings it _works_, which is key. This bug may be inappropriately filed -- I have no idea if the important package is the kernel, glibc, or util-vserver, though from a bit of code groveling I'd bet against the latter. Requesting the attention of some guru.
