Hi all,

I ran into a boot problem with latest linus/master
(6929f71e46bdddbf1c4d67c2728648176c67c555) that manifests

like this:

Hi, what's the .config you use?

Pretty much x86_64 defconfig minus a few options (PCI, USB,
...)

Oh yes indeed. I immediately crash in the same way with this config.
I'll
start digging...

(defconfig finishes boot)

This is funny, booting with slub_debug=F results in:
I'm not sure if it's ACPI or ftrace wrong here, but looks like
the changed free pointer offset merely exposes a bug in something
else.

So, with Kees' patch reverted, booting with slub_debug=F (or even
more specific slub_debug=F,ftrace_event_field) also hits this bug
below. I wanted to bisect it, but v5.7 was also bad, and also
v5.6. Didn't try further in history. So it's not new at all, and
likely very specific to your config+QEMU? (and related to the ACPI
error messages that precede it?).

I see it too, but not on v5.0. I can bisect it.

Bob, Erik, did we miss something in that patch?

Maybe the patch just changes layout in a way that exposes the bug.

Anyway the "ftrace_event_field" cache is not really involved, this is
just because of slab merging. After adding "slub_nomerge" to
"slub_debug=F", it starts making more sense, as the cache becomes

I've also changed the warning so it's not printed just once, and also
prints tracking info (see the hunk at the end of my mail, I'll turn this to a

proper patch later).

With "slub_debug=FU slub_nomerge" there are now multiple warnings,

And it seems ACPI is allocating an object via kmalloc() and then
freeing it via kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>) which

is wrong.

Hi Vegard,

quoted

That's it :-) This fixes it for me:

We'll take this patch for ACPICA and it will be in the next release.

Rafael, do you want to take this as a part of the next rc?

Yes, I do.

Folks, what happened to the patch? I don't see it in current upstream.

Looks like it got reported again:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/a1461e21-c744-767d-6dfc-6641fd3e3ce2@siemens.com (local)

I've attached a properly formatted patch.

Thanks,


Vegard
