Comment 2 Jeff Layton 2011-08-17 10:26:16 UTC
Well, that's very odd -- it fell down inside of __kmalloc. Could you follow the directions here and post the listing of where it crashed?

    http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting#Oopses

...also, what slab allocator are you using in this kernel? Something like this on the kernel config in the build directory should tell you:

$ egrep 'CONFIG_SL.?B' /path/to/.config
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
# CONFIG_SLAB is not set
CONFIG_SLUB=y
CONFIG_SLABINFO=y
# CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is not set
# CONFIG_SLUB_STATS is not set

Comment 3 subi.the.dream.walker 2011-08-17 11:43:03 UTC
the slab config is:

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
# CONFIG_SLAB is not set
CONFIG_SLUB=y
CONFIG_SLABINFO=y
# CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is not set
# CONFIG_SLUB_STATS is not set

don't have the time to run the gdb test right now. i'll post the result later. thanks.

Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2011-08-17 12:04:55 UTC
F16 is moving to 3.1-rc now.  While Jeff is looking, you might try the latest F16 kernel build from koji and see if it recreates.

Comment 5 Jeff Layton 2011-08-17 14:48:42 UTC
Thanks, I'll set the needinfo flag. Let me know when you have the gdb listing...

I tried 3.1-rc2 and the panic is still there.

here is all the gdb lists.

After changing the slab allocator to CONFIG_SLAB, the kernel oops inside another code piece.

(gdb) l *(__free_pages+0x1)
0xffffffff8108be68 is in __free_pages (/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:25).
20       *
21       * Atomically reads the value of @v.
22       */
23      static inline int atomic_read(const atomic_t *v)
24      {
25              return (*(volatile int *)&(v)->counter);
26      }
27
28      /**

Comment 10 Jeff Layton 2011-08-18 10:38:25 UTC
Do you have /sbin/mount.cifs installed? If not then this patch may help:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs&m=131345112022031&w=2

...could you test it and let me know if it does?

Comment 11 Justin Piszcz 2011-08-18 10:41:16 UTC
I just tried this patch and it fixed the problem so far for me (no instant crash) but will follow up if there are further problems.

Justin.

Patch applied, so far so good. Nice, thanks very much.

Comment 13 Jeff Layton 2011-08-25 10:24:47 UTC
Could you also test with the kernel here and let me know if it also works?
