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.

Comment 4 Qian Cai 2011-07-12 00:58:58 UTC
The real problem is that you hit a panic during xfstests.

The second problem is that your kdump is misconfigured.

Saving to the local filesystem /dev/sdc2 
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) 
fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sdc2 
Possibly non-existent or swap device? 
mount: mounting /dev/sdc2 on /mnt failed: No such device or address 
Attempting to enter user-space to capture vmcore 

So, it then tried to enter user-space to capture vmcore which your system was running out of free memory from reserved 128MB at that time, but unfortunately oom won't work in kdump kernel.

Comment 5 Eric Sandeen 2011-09-28 14:53:50 UTC
The bug is in:

ext4_ext_walk_space()
{
...
        while (block < last && block != EXT_MAX_BLOCK) {
...
                BUG_ON(end <= start);


Given that this function is ONLY used for fiemap, BUG_ON is quite a terrible result - we should at least just fail the fiemap call with a message I suppose rather than taking down the box...

Comment 6 Eryu Guan 2011-10-10 14:45:27 UTC
The xfstests 225 panic issue should be a dup of bug 692063

Comment 7 Eric Sandeen 2011-10-12 17:05:00 UTC
Duping because the bug summary is identical to 692063.

Please open a new bug explicitly for the memory-related issues you mentioned; I'm not quite sure what the actual issue is there.

Thanks,
-Eric
