I just got this oops in a freshly booted 2.6.37-rc5 Xen domain, while
sitting idle at the login prompt:

The system is a somewhat out of date Fedora 13 with
selinux-policy-3.7.19-73.fc13.noarch and
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-73.fc13.noarch installed.
I'm not sure what at-spi-registry is or what it is trying to do here.
The crash seems non-deterministic; I rebooted the domain without any issues.
Thanks,

Thanks for the report.
Unfortunately I don't have any great ideas off the top of my head but it
has been a couple of months since I've played with that code; I'll take
a look and see if anything jumps out at me.
For what it's worth, a quick Google makes me think that at-spi-registry
is part of Gnome's assistive technology functionality. That said, I
have no idea what it does exactly, but evidently it does it over a UNIX
domain socket ...
If you're ever able to recreate the problem or if you can think of
anything else that might be useful please let me know.
Thanks.

There were some concerns that this may be due to the other end of a UNIX
socket going away during connect() and causing sk_free() to be called
which could result in sk_security being NULL/garbage in line 3929 above.
However, I just walked through the relevant bits in net/unix/af_unix.c
and it would appear that the sock_hold() and sock_put()s are all in the
right spots. I suppose there is the possibility that sk_security is not
being initialized correctly in the first place but that seems odd to me
as I would expect massive failures elsewhere if that was the case.
I'm hesitant to bring this up, but is there any chance you're having
memory corruption issues on the system? Maybe Xen?

Well, I considered the possibility of this being Xen specific, but I
really couldn't see how. Xen operates at the level of CPU instructions
and pagetable entries; if something is going wrong there it would cause
widespread chaos. Even if there's some rare corruption, why would it
pick on this specific SELinux thing? The system seems otherwise stable;
kernel builds work, etc.
It seems to me that if there's is a higher tendency for it to happen
under Xen, its because there's an existing race in the code which
happens to trigger more easily because of how the virtual CPUs are
scheduled. If that were the case, I'd also expect to see it under any
other virtualization system. I could try reproducing it with more VCPUs.
I have seen this specific crash before in earlier -rcs, so it isn't a
once-off. But is a while since I've seen it, so I guess its fairly
rare. It only seems to happen near bootup; once the system is running
it seems stable (but it could just be because I don't have many things
doing stuff with unix domain sockets).
Thanks,
J
