Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Bug 1619605

Summary: NULL pointer dereference while deleting VDO volumes that had been used for stacked raid testing [rhel-7.5.z]
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Reporter: Oneata Mircea Teodor <toneata>
Component: kmod-kvdoAssignee: Matthew Sakai <msakai>
Status: CLOSED ERRATA QA Contact: Corey Marthaler <cmarthal>
Severity: medium Docs Contact: Marie Hornickova <mdolezel>
Priority: high    
Version: 7.6CC: awalsh, cmarthal, jkrysl, limershe, msakai, rhandlin
Target Milestone: rcKeywords: ZStream
Target Release: ---   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   
Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: 6.1.0.185 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When the write policy of a VDO device was set to "sync", or if the underlying storage device did not accept flushes, the VDO recovery journal thread overflowed its available stack space during a reaping operation. Consequently, the stack frames were corrupted, and some errors such as NULL pointer dereferences occurred. With this update, the recovery journal reaping code has been restructured to strictly limit thread stack size. As a result, the stack can no longer overflow, and the thread state corruption no longer occurs under the described circumstances.

Comment 5 Corey Marthaler 2018-10-01 20:33:28 UTC
We're no longer seeing this issue after stacked raid10/raid* vdo tests are run and cleaned up for additional testing. Marking verified in the latest rpms.
