Description Casey Dahlin 2009-09-21 13:51:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Customer is getting kernel panics due to list_del being called on an already freed list entry. The reason appears to be that the _uid_ses keyring is being cleaned up twice.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.18-8

How reproducible:
Customer sees this regularly when there are a large number of logins and logouts.

Have there been panics like this in the past? What's a good technique for finding the culprit in this case? I've tried systemtap but you can't guarantee the integrity of a disk log after a panic, and getting the stap logs out of a core file has proved ugly.

Comment 2 Dave Anderson 2009-09-21 17:40:21 UTC
Is there a vmlinux/vmcore pair that I can look at?
