Description of problem: A kernel oops has been observed on an up-to-date f7 machine. No patterns as to the cause have been found, therefore there is no way to determine reproducibility at this time. The process that creates the oops condition is console-kit-dae. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ConsoleKit-0.2.1-2.fc7 How reproducible: None. There is no pattern to how the error is produced. Actual results: Oops. Expected results: No Oops. Additional info:
Created attachment 156747 [details] The portion of /var/log/messages which contains the oops.
Created attachment 156768 [details] patch attempting to fix problem It appears that lookup_one_len() returns an error pointer sometimes. We should make sure dir entry is valid before dereferencing. Not sure if the error should be returned to sysfs_remove_group()'s caller.
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while and the attached patch appears to resolve the issue. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel and if the patch was accepted upstream? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
Current kernel is now 2.6.23 and reporter has not responded.
