FYI, the kernel is BUG()'ing right after do_coredump: kernel/signal.c: if (sig_kernel_coredump(signr) && do_coredump((long)signr, signr, regs)) { ... const int code = signr | 0x80; DIES HERE>>>>>>> BUG_ON(!current->signal->group_exit); BUG_ON(current->signal->group_exit_code != code); do_exit(code); /* NOTREACHED */ } Since do_coredump() sets current->signal->group_exit, something else must be up.

RHEL-3 backport of 2.6 patch
I would expect to hit the second BUG_ON there, not the first.
There is a known race condition that can lead to this, and this was fixed in
2.6.
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U5 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-27.10.EL). An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-294.html |
