Title:
kernel panic: NULL pointer dereference in wb_timer_f()
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Impish:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Impact]
It is possible to trigger a kernel panic with the latest impish kernel
running systemd autopkgtest using --enable-kvm with the test instances
created by systemd during the autotest. The panic happens in the host,
not in the guest VM executed by systemd.
[Test case]
Add --enable-kvm to the options in test/testdata/test-functions
(systemd), run `sudo autopkgtest . -- null`, wait for the panic to
happen.
[Fix]
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YW6N2qXpBU3oc50q@arighi-desktop/T/#u
[Regression potential]
The fix is addressing a race in the block layer (in the buffered write
throttling code - block/blk-wbt.c) between a disk being released and
the timer callback that periodically checks if the latency for a
specific block device has been exceeded. If the fix is not correct we
may still have a race in this code, that can still show potential
kernel panics in the block layer subsystem.
[Original bug report]
I can trigger the following kernel panic with the latest impish kernel
5.13.0-19-generic, running systemd autopkgtest using --enable-kvm for
the instances created by systemd to run the autotest:
