* jammy/linux: 5.15.0-17.17 -proposed tracker (LP: #1957809) -- Andrea Righi <andrea.ri...@canonical.com> Thu, 13 Jan 2022 17:11:21 +0100 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947557 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: [ 119.987108] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000098 [ 119.987617] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 119.987971] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 119.988325] PGD 7c4a4067 P4D 7c4a4067 PUD 7bf63067 PMD 0 [ 119.988697] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 119.988959] CPU: 1 PID: 9353 Comm: cloud-init Not tainted 5.15-rc5+arighi-aws #rc5+arighi [ 119.989520] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014 [ 119.990055] RIP: 0010:wb_timer_fn+0x44/0x3c0 [ 119.990376] Code: 41 8b 9c 24 98 00 00 00 41 8b 94 24 b8 00 00 00 41 8b 84 24 d8 00 00 00 4d 8b 74 24 28 01 d3 01 c3 49 8b 44 24 60 48 8b 40 78 <4c> 8b b8 98 00 00 00 4d 85 f6 0f 84 c4 00 00 00 49 83 7c 24 30 00 [ 119.991578] RSP: 0000:ffffb5f580957da8 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 119.991937] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000004 [ 119.992412] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88f476d7f780 [ 119.992895] RBP: ffffb5f580957dd0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 119.993371] R10: 0000000000000004 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: ffff88f476c84500 [ 119.993847] R13: ffff88f4434390c0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88f4bdc98c00 [ 119.994323] FS: 00007fb90bcd9c00(0000) GS:ffff88f4bdc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 119.994952] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 119.995380] CR2: 0000000000000098 CR3: 000000007c0d6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 119.995906] Call Trace: [ 119.996130] ? blk_stat_free_callback_rcu+0x30/0x30 [ 119.996505] blk_stat_timer_fn+0x138/0x140 [ 119.996830] call_timer_fn+0x2b/0x100 [ 119.997136] __run_timers.part.0+0x1d1/0x240 [ 119.997470] ? kvm_clock_get_cycles+0x11/0x20 [ 119.997826] ? ktime_get+0x3e/0xa0 [ 119.998110] ? native_apic_msr_write+0x2c/0x30 [ 119.998456] ? lapic_next_event+0x20/0x30 [ 119.998779] ? clockevents_program_event+0x94/0xf0 [ 119.999150] run_timer_softirq+0x2a/0x50 [ 119.999465] __do_softirq+0xcb/0x26f [ 119.999764] irq_exit_rcu+0x8c/0xb0 [ 120.000057] sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x43/0x90 [ 120.000429] ? asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20 [ 120.000836] asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x12/0x20 [ 120.001226] RIP: 0033:0x501969 [ 120.001486] Code: 8d 54 e5 00 4d 8b a2 80 02 00 00 4d 89 ba 88 02 00 00 4d 39 f4 75 0f e9 84 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 4c 39 f2 74 7a 49 8b 14 24 <4d> 89 e7 49 89 d4 49 81 7f 18 e0 33 8f 00 75 e7 48 85 d2 74 e7 49 [ 120.002793] RSP: 002b:00007ffc407d68b0 EFLAGS: 00000206 [ 120.003196] RAX: 00000000008eaa20 RBX: 00007ffc407d6930 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 120.003711] RDX: 0000000000d2d940 RSI: 00007fb90b9522c0 RDI: 0000000000000001 [ 120.004224] RBP: 00007ffc407d6940 R08: 00007fb90a53df60 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 120.004750] R10: 0000000000bc6130 R11: 0000000000000006 R12: 0000000000d2dda0 [ 120.005262] R13: 0000000000bc6100 R14: 0000000000bc63b0 R15: 00007fb90b4dde30 [ 120.005775] Modules linked in: essiv authenc crypto_simd cryptd dm_crypt scsi_debug isofs nls_iso8859_1 dm_multipath scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_alua kvm_amd ccp input_leds kvm joydev serio_raw sch_fq_codel msr drm ip_tables x_tables autofs4 btrfs blake2b_generic zstd_compress raid10 raid456 async_raid6_recov async_memcpy async_pq async_xor async_tx xor raid6_pq libcrc32c raid1 raid0 multipath linear xhci_pci virtio_net ahci net_failover psmouse libahci virtio_blk failover xhci_pci_renesas [ 120.008799] CR2: 0000000000000098 [ 120.009077] ---[ end trace bfb8226a5f9067bc ]--- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1947557/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
