Hi,
I've been able to get 2.3.28 with Ingo's zoned-2.3.28-H2 patch going on ARM, but unfortunately I keep on getting Oopses in do_fork, specifically in copy_fs.
The oops is within the following code:
tsk->fs->root = dget(current->fs->root);
where the dentries count is incremented. The address seems to be the ASCII string 'linu'.
Dumping out the contents of current->fs shows that it is valid before the kmalloc() but not after it. In fact, turning on poisoning in mm/slab.c changes the Oops address to 0x5a5a5a5a, the poison value.
Has anyone else used Ingo's patch, and have they seen similar results?
I have no idea whether this happens on the stock 2.3.28 kernel - it is not possible to get this to boot on ARM without serious hacking. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ |
