Hu, is this a 2G/2G host, by any chance?

The French report is complaining about this happening after a host
kernel upgrade, and I would assume that this wouldn't spring a 2G/2G
split on you without asking.

UML is trying to map a page at the top of its address space (which it
assumes to be 0xc000 unless you are running a 2.6.16-rc4 UML and
enabled host 2G/2G support).  We need to figure out why that doesn't
work.  If it's not the host split, then I don't have any other ideas
off the top of my head.

It doesn't seem so:
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT=y
(from debian kernel's 2.6.16-k7 binaries)

did you mean .17-rc4? Debian kernels contain very little modifications,
and usually track upstream very closely.

Oh, I found
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xB000

may this be the problem? I found reports telling it broke other SW:

Yup, that's the problem.  They did spring a split change on you.

On rc4, UML will run if you enable host 2G/2G support.

So it seems we have 2 bugs one of which is a duplicate for #360598

I also get a problem specific to host 2.6.16 kernels, but that's when I run 
x64 guests on x64 2.6.16 hosts (x86 32-bit guests work normally); I've not 
tested 32-bit 2.6.16 hosts.

The error message is different. However, I can't exclude there is the same 
root cause acting in a different way, but I've now debugged this a bit and 
this seems unlikely.

EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

Does this mean that UML will run on a non-standard-vm-split _only_ if
the host has CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G=y ?

If so is this considered a bug or a feature? :)

Thanks a lot

The question is not clear.  The host will only have a nonstandard
split if it has CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G or equivalent enabled.

Do you instead mean whether UML will run on a nonstandard split host
if IT (not the host) has CONFIG_HOST_2G_2G (not CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G)
enabled?

If so, the answer for now is yes.

> If so is this considered a bug or a feature? :)

More a bug.  We are considering ways of detecting the host vmsplit at
run time and adapting to it, but added back the CONFIG_HOST_2G_2G as
an interim measure.

Thanks, will enable it in the .17 release of the debian package.

The option is not without cost.  It reduces the address space
available to UML processes.  Since the B000 split seems to be
Debian-specific, you might add a corresponding Debian-specific patch
to UML which defines the top of the address space to B000, rather
than A000, which CONFIG_HOST_2G_2G does.
