2.5.47-ac4 panic on boot.

My thinkpad 760e starts to boot but panics while running depmod -a:
(unfortunately the top is cut off...it doesn't fit:))

...

I tried it a few times...the last few change, but its always in reap_timer_fnc.

I haven't tried any other 2.5 kernels, but 2.4.18/19 work.

This is probably a dodgy device driver doing something bad with kmalloced memory.

If you have time, please go through and disable various drivers in config, see if you can isolate it to a particular one.

Thanks.

I did that...
Disabling PM made it boot:

< CONFIG_PM=y
< CONFIG_APM=m
< # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
< CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
< CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
< CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
< # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
< # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
< # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set
---

I think I still had swsusp on before I disabled PM...I will have to test more tomorrow to make sure thats it...
Perhaps its the CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE that did it?

I had tried linux init=/bin/sh, which got to the shell, then 2 seconds later paniced, so I have a feeling its the idle thingy:)

On another note, pcibios_read_config_dword seems to be missing, and pcmcia-core wants it. I'll have to see whats up with that tomorrow...but at least I got it booting now:)

Could be...

slab runs a timer every couple of seconds to drain caches which could otherwise be wasted-for-ever memory. So it looks like we don't get to find out about abuse until much later. Damn.

Oh, it'd be interesting to enable memory debugging under the kernel-hacking menu - that may trap the bug when it's happening.

I tried 2.5.47-ac5...
I got the configs confused so I had started from an old one and built up until it crashed:

(%:/data/src/tp/2.5/linux-2.5.47-ac5)- diff .config ../CONFIG_works 159,167c159
< CONFIG_PNP=y
< # CONFIG_PNP_NAMES is not set
< # CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG is not set

< CONFIG_PNPBIOS=y
---

213d204
< # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ISAPNP is not set
362d352
< # CONFIG_NET_SB1000 is not set

.config crashes, it oopses as soon as pnp starts, then 2 seconds later the previous oops comes up and it panics.

the only thing I managed to read was that the EIP was in kfree, and most of the call traces had pnp_ in the name

I can't get the rest until I figure out how to get some kind of serial console working...I wonder if I can get it working over infrared to my pda :)

attached is the full .config:

Irritating when it does that. Here's a little patch which should stop the machine dead after the first ooops, prevent stuff from scrolling off the screen.

This, with the missing touch_nmi_watchdog() would be a handy kernel boot option, perhaps.

Ok..that worked:

for future reference...what is the important part of the oops so I don't have to type the useless parts?

I'm guessing just the Call Trace, which is:

Osamu Tomita sent following fix a few days ago. No rediffed against 2.5.47-ac4. With this, I was able to get pcmcia_core loading. On the other hand, I seem to be able to crash my Dell Latitude by removing and then re-inserting 3c59x -cardbus-adapter. And by trying to reboot or halt, so I really cannot tell whether this patch _really_ works. But it definitely did something!-)

Suonpää...

Thanks! that lets pcmcia_core load at least...It still doesn't work though:( I had the same problem with 2.4.19 though, I need to use pcmcia-cs for it to work. pcmcia-cs is 3.2.1 while the kernel is 3.1.22, and I haven't figured out how to get pcmcia-cs to work with 2.5 yet:)
