It would be good to have something soon-ish.
This "dead at boot time" issue is impacting the general ability to
test
patches against latest -git in time for the current merge window.
In the meantime, does the patch I sent out help people? I'd like to
get feedback, but I'm a lazy bum, and don't use DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
myself, so I was hoping that people who actually see this could
comment on my untested suggestion.
Oh.. so this bug is supposed to only bite with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y ??
Then something else is broken, perhaps. I just saw a long traceback
scroll off the top of the screen, with lots of bio_* functions in the
list
and assumed it was the same bug.
Mmm.. I'll get out the camera and try it again now..
Okay, mine is dying with EIP at blk_rq_map_sg+0xcb/0x160.
Screen photo is at http://rtr.ca/recent/2.6.23-git12-crash.jpg,
but the top was cut off (isn't there a new config option or patch
to do double-columns or scrollback or something ???.
I tried the fancy "boot_delay=nnn" feature, but that doesn't slow down
the tracebacks at all. So I hardcoded some mdelay(1000) lines into
the traceback code, and here's the top part of the oops now:
http://rtr.ca/recent/2.6.23-git12-crash2.jpg
...
And, yes, I make that out as being this line from blk_rq_map_sg():
next_sg = sg_next(sg);
