Description Chris Murphy 2019-12-09 17:20:23 UTC

This splat is a regression from 5.3.x series, and results in tainted kernel on every startup. Still happens with 5.4.2.

Upstream is looking into it.

Comment 1 Chris Murphy 2019-12-10 00:35:25 UTC

I'm not seeing it with 5.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32.x86_64+debug

Comment 2 Chris Murphy 2019-12-19 21:50:18 UTC

This is still happening in 5.4.5-300.fc31.x86_64

Comment 3 Chris Murphy 2019-12-19 22:30:52 UTC

Should be fixed by commit: a356646a56857c2e5ad875beec734d7145ecd49a ("tracing: Do not create directories if lockdown is in affect")

I'm not seeing it in linux-stable@ though

Comment 4 Justin M. Forbes 2020-03-03 16:19:07 UTC

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 31 kernel bugs.

Fedora 31 has now been rebased to 5.5.7-200.fc31.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 32, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 32.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 5 Chris Murphy 2020-03-03 19:47:33 UTC

I'm not seeing it in 5.5 or 5.6. Closing.
