Description Paul Whalen 2020-01-08 17:22:27 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:

On an armhfp guest with an XFS filesystem and lpae kernel (aarch64 host running rhel 8.1), attempting to run mock:

vmscan: shrink_slab: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x150 negative objects to delete nr=-2147483644

is repeated on the console. When left to continue eventually it hits oom-killer. The system has plenty of RAM available and does not touch swap.

[root@localhost ~]# free
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:       41368220      165068    40591308         592      611844    40709764
Swap:       8380412           0     8380412


2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
5.3.7-301.fc31.armv7hl+lpae
5.4.7-200.fc31.armv7hl+lpae

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

Unknown.

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Reproducible running an armhfp guest with 25G+ RAM allocated, and using an XFS filesystem. I have not been able to reproduce with ext4.

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

Will check and update the BZ. 

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

No.

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Comment 3 Paul Whalen 2020-01-08 20:07:24 UTC
Looks like it can be triggered with any sort of load. A simple 'dnf update' was sufficient. 

No change with 5.5.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc32.armv7hl+lpae

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 16:07:59 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 17:05:18 UTC
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
