Please follow up via emailed reply-to-all.

In fact, please report -mm bugs via email. bugzilla is more suited to
longer-term problems, and -mm bugs are super-short-term, we hope.

Anything you can do to make that wordwrapping go away for ever would be
great, thanks.

I don't know what would have caused this. do_ioctl() did a jump-to-zero,
but it has code in there to explicitly test for null pointers.

Perhaps some weird race, although I find it hard to imagine how we could
have such a race in any ioctl which bash is likely to be calling.

Is it repeatable at all?

You have the full kernel log with no wrapping there

It happened once so far. The load was moderate (and certainly not
comparable to what I did for Mel yesterday)

Make that twice. The interesting thing is it was preceded by CD/DVD
access just before, to something is rotten there.

so just what is this kernel? A hybrid of -mm and -fc7 or what?

Can you boot with "kstack=32" so that we can see more of the stack?

-mm + md-improve-partition-detection-in-md-array.patch revert + Mel's
patches for bug #8464 + the fedora nouveau patch

the fc7.nim is there because it was build in an F7 buildroot, not
because it carries the full Fedora patchset

I can try. It's not triggering quickly though

Seems I was completely wrong about the trigger, but anyway it happened
again, this time on 2.6.22-rc2.mm1.cfs14 (and I had kept kstack=32)

This is do_tty_hangup() exchanging the fops while we're waiting for the
lock. The new fops (hung_up_tty_fops) only have the unlocked variant and
thus we Oops our way.

The following program reproduces it quite easily on a SMP box. I'm
running it from X as root like this:
while true; do xterm /path/to/program; done

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#include <sys/ioctl.h>

pid_t pid;

void *thread(void *arg)
{
while (1)
ioctl(0, TIOCSPGRP, &pid);
}

int main()
{
pthread_t t;

pid = getpid();

pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread, NULL);
sleep(1);
vhangup();
perror("vhangup");
return 0;
}

I'm not exactly sure how to solve that in a clean way, though. Moving
the call to lock_kernel() up would make the Oops go away, but could
result in the wrong error code being returned. Checking for ioctl first
and unlocked_ioctl last would cause useless locking. And retrying the
unlocked ioctl doesn't look nice either :-(

hm that was dumb. I'll stick a raw_smp_processor_id() in there.

tty: add compat_ioctl

Add compat_ioctl method for tty code to allow processing of 32 bit ioctl
calls on 64 bit systems by tty core, tty drivers, and line disciplines.

Based on patch by Arnd Bergmann:

OK, the change of hung_up_tty_ioctl() from locked to unlocked
is not necessary for this patch. On the surface it seemed a clever
way of not needing two different functions to do the same simple:

return cmd == TIOCSPGRP ? -ENOTTY : -EIO;

which does not need any locking for its own sake. But clearly
the hangup behavior requires the locked version.

I'll redo the patch with hung_up_tty_ioctl remaining locked.

That will separate the compat ioctl stuff from this issue.

I am unable to reproduce the oops on either i386 SMP or x86_64 SMP
using your test program. This is against plain 2.6.21 with only
my compat ioctl patch applied.

Here is a patch that restores the locked ioctl for hung_up_tty_ioctl.
Can you try it and see if it removes your oops?

Unfortunately I can't get the timing right to trigger this,
but it is very clear the locked ioctl fop must not be
allowed to disappear like my original patch allows.

Andrew:

Would you prefer I resend the entire compat ioctl patch or
submit an incremental patch like in my message I'm quoting above?

The compat_ioctl patch is in mainline, and has been for some time.

Hence a patch against mainline would be appropriate, thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] tty restore locked ioctl file op

Restore tty locked ioctl handler which was replaced with
an unlocked ioctl handler in hung_up_tty_fops by the patch:

commit e10cc1df1d2014f68a4bdcf73f6dd122c4561f94
Author: Paul Fulghum <[email protected]>

tty: add compat_ioctl

This was reported in:
[Bug 8473] New: Oops: 0010 [1] SMP

The bug is caused by switching to hung_up_tty_fops in do_tty_hangup.
An ioctl call can be waiting on BLK after testing for existence of
the locked ioctl handler in the normal tty fops, but before calling
the locked ioctl handler. If a hangup occurs at that point, the
locked ioctl fop is NULL and an oops occurs.

Sorry for the delay, your mails didn't make it into my inbox, and I
usually just mark threads on which I'm Cc'ed as read in my lkml mailbox,
thus I didn't notice it earlier. Any traces of the lost mails on your
side?

The patch works as expected, no Oops in sight. Regarding the
reproducability, it might be that it was easier to trigger on rc1. When
I retried today with rc4, I only got 2 Oopses in a minute, while the
first test had spitten out about 20 Oopses in 10 seconds (not sure if I
really had rc1 running back then, though).

Thanks,

No clues on this end.

I'm sure it's very timing dependent.
I'm confident with this fix.

Thanks for your help.
