http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614670 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614670#c0 Summary: XFS crash with stack corruption, with bugfix by XFS devs Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell-web@zmi.at QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 SUSE/3.6.3-1.2 Firefox/3.6.3 I've suffered twice now from an XFS bug with the default openSUSE 11.2 kernel version 2.6.31.12-0.2-xen (VM running on XenServer). The kernel crashed. Christoph Hellwig (XFS dev) wrote back today (2010-Jun-16 11:41): ************** Try backporting commit 070ecdca54dde9577d2697088e74e45568f48efb "xfs: skip writeback from reclaim context", that should get rid of places calling into ->writepage with already deep stack usage. ************** As this is a Novell/openSUSE kernel, could you please provide the fix? Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. have XFS filesystem 2. Once I did: I just rsynced from another server to this one, the filesystem is nearly full, I was in the process of vgextend (done), lvextend (done) and just wanted to call xfs_growfs but before I could press enter the system was gone. It's a VM within XenServer, if that matters. 3. Today it crashed while running rsync from a PC to that server, while in the process of syncing the file list. Actual Results: kernel crash Expected Results: should not crash :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
