Summary: Kernel panics on do_raw_spin_lock()
Product: Memory Management
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc14.x86_64
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: Other
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No

Kernel seems to frequently panic with RIP at do_raw_spin_lock(). I assume this might be vma related since the trace often implicates vma_merge() and friends.

Screenshots of panic:

hm, those photos aren't terribly useful. They seem to be pointing at the compaction code.

Maybe using the pause_on_oops kernel command line option (Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt) will prevent the frist part of the first oops from scrolling off the screen?

It's possible but I'm agreed that the photos aren't terribly useful. It would be preferable to see the first oops where as this appears to be a second or third oops.

Also, I note this is a Fedora kernel. Is the bug readily reproducible? If so, would you be willing to verify the problem happens with 2.6.38.7? What are the reproduction steps?
