[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1789131] [NEW] Probable regression with EXT3 file systems and CVE-2018-1093 patches

2018-08-26 Thread Sarah Newman
Public bug reported: A customer reported on all of their ext3 and none of their ext4 systems that the file system was in read-only mode, I believe after rebooting into 3.13.0-157.207 from 3.13.0-156.206. Here is the output of tune2fs -l for one of the file systems: tune2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) L

I noticed the unusual thing here is: RAID stride: 128 RAID stripe width: 512 I'm going to do some testing around this to see if it's related. It could be this is the issue and not anything EXT3 vs. EXT4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is

I confirmed that adding "-E stride=128,stripe_width=512" to the call to mkfs results gets the following errors almost immediately at boot with 3.13.0-157.207: [5.680480] EXT4-fs error (device xvda1): ext4_validate_block_bitmap:376: comm mountall: bg 213: block 7007360: invalid block bitmap [

I believe a command sequence like this can be used to reliably reproduce the issue: umount /mnt truncate -s128m /tmp/test.img cmd="/sbin/mkfs.ext3 -E stride=128,stripe_width=512 -F /tmp/test.img" echo $cmd > /dev/kmsg $cmd mount -o loop /tmp/test.img /mnt/ while dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/$RANDOM bs=

2016-10-26 Thread Sarah Newman
Are you sure SLAB vs. SLUB fixed this? I have images built from October 13 and today (October 22) with 4.8.0-22-generic and 4.8.0-26-generic respectively. On a 4.8.0-22-generic boot there are 37 kworker threads, on 4.8.0-26-generic there are 524 kworker threads. It could be that with enough reboot

Also: the 524 threads was with Xen PVM and two VCPUS. With one VCPU the problem goes away. The run on 4.8.0-22-generic also had two VCPUs. There is no problem with Xen HVM and 4.8.0-26-generic with either one or two VCPUS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel

2013-11-27 Thread Sarah Newman
Hi, I am using 12.04 and that particular sequence appears to be expected behavior due to duplicate address detection in ipv6 leading to the ipv6 address being tentative. I see similar behavior on an ethernet port which has never physically been connected to anything. Before attaching anything to
