Hrmmmm.. "SI_KERNEL Sent by the kernel." it is undocumented. open a bug report so kernel folks can find what's going on.
It is documented (well, at least mentioned) in sigaction(3).
Userspace attempts to dereference a pointer. It is of course the kernel which will try to satisfy that paging request, but cannot, as this is apparently a NULL pointer and there is no page mapped at 0x0 for e2fsck. Thus SIGSEGV is raised, naturally by the kernel, so the SI_KERNEL origin is well-formed.
Does this mean a bug report is not indicated?
SIGSEGV does not indicate a bug report, it indicates a bug! :) One that maybe should be reported. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
