Kernel crash (2.4.27 + DeviceMapper + grsecurity)
Hi,
I am wondering if some people are running a 2.4.27 kernel with both device-mapper and grsecurity.
I've been using these patches with the 2.4.25 and 2.4.26 kernel without trouble.
Since I have upgraded to 2.4.27, I have experienced two system crashes. I have no oops, but using a serial cable and Magic sys keys, I can see that these two crashes happened at 06:25 during logs rotation:
savelog S 00000000 3948 18480 24071 22315 (NOTLB) mv R current 8 22315 18480 (NOTLB)
Each time the last process is "mv" (stuck in a system call).
The EIP seems to show that the system is stuck in gr_handle_rename (which is in gracl.c).
(I don't know if it is relevant, but as it was the same for both crashes I guess there is perhaps something weird here...).
The DM patch I'm using is linux-2.4.26-rc1-devmapper-ioctl.patch.gz.
