Created attachment 1298798 [details] journalctl --boot=-1 (Last few minutes before system freeze) Description of problem: Firefox causing system to completely lock up. Unrecoverable, with no logs in the journal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ gnome-shell --version GNOME Shell 3.25.3 $ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 54.0 $ uname -r 4.13.0-0.rc0.git6.1.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time I use Firefox. Doesn't always happen immediately but it happens without fail every time I use firefox. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Browse Internet 3. Actual results: System locks up and becomes completely unresponsive. Unable to open a new TTY line, move the mouse or do anything at all. Expected results: System wouldn't lock up Additional info: After rebooting, checking journalctl --boot=-1 doesn't provide any information relevant to the issue. Cant see anything in /var/spool/arbt or firefox crash reports. I'm lost for how to troubleshoot it at this point, but it's definitely an issue.
As I said, I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot the issue at this point. If you have any ideas, I would be happy to get more information.
Just did the same thing with Chrome as well.
Created attachment 1299126 [details] ABRT Error file Looks like the issue may be related to the Kernel. ABRT is reporting: # cat backtrace kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:1208!
That abrt report isn't useful, unfortunately. The dmesg doesn't actually contain the backtrace to figure out the problem and neither does anything else. It's still very early in the kernel cycle so the best option is probably to keep an eye on it or figure out how to get a full backtrace.
I'm experiencing this issue too with 4.13 using both Firefox and Chrome. Crashes in Firefox will record the skbuff.c:1280! line to the logs while Chrome records nothing.
It seems like Brendan and I are both using Dell XPS laptops, most likely with the same Broadcom card as mine: 3a:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4350 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 08) Subsystem: Dell Device 0023 Kernel driver in use: brcmfmac Kernel modules: brcmfmac [pd@XPS ~]$ dmesg | grep brcmfmac [ 88.279844] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac [ 88.281749] brcmfmac 0000:3a:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 88.814866] brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = wl0: Oct 22 2015 06:16:26 version 7.35.180.119 (r594535) FWID 01-e791c176 [ 88.881213] brcmfmac 0000:3a:00.0 wlp58s0: renamed from wlan0 [ 93.765859] brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev: set p2p_disc error [ 93.765879] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_add_iface: add iface p2p-dev-wlp58s0 type 10 failed: err=-16
