I'm guessing that "kmem -v" also fails? The last vmap_area entry should point back to the global "vmap_area_list" list header, for example: crash> kmem -v | tail ffff96e7ecaaca80 ffff96e54c89c400 ffffffffc0e54000 - ffffffffc0e5a000 24576 ffff96e757ffe380 ffff96e4be98f3c0 ffffffffc0e5d000 - ffffffffc0e6d000 65536 ffff96e467b33400 ffff96e6a3ae1a00 ffffffffc0e6d000 - ffffffffc0e73000 24576 ffff96e85cf4e600 ffff96e752c52b40 ffffffffc0e77000 - ffffffffc0e7c000 20480 ffff96e85cf4e380 ffff96e5506c6c00 ffffffffc0e7c000 - ffffffffc0e81000 20480 ffff96e802baa500 ffff96e5506c69c0 ffffffffc0e81000 - ffffffffc0e86000 20480 ffff96e802baac00 ffff96e5506c6cc0 ffffffffc0e86000 - ffffffffc0e8c000 24576 ffff96e574196f80 ffff96e55ffd6c80 ffffffffc0e90000 - ffffffffc0e95000 20480 ffff96e574196680 ffff96e55ffd6880 ffffffffc0e95000 - ffffffffc0e9a000 20480 ffff96e87c222800 ffff96e5496ca680 ffffffffc0e9a000 - ffffffffc0ea4000 40960 crash> vmap_area ffff96e87c222800 struct vmap_area { va_start = 18446744072651120640, va_end = 18446744072651161600, flags = 4, rb_node = { __rb_parent_color = 18446628510972342169, rb_right = 0x0, rb_left = 0xffff96e574196698 }, list = { next = 0xffffffffae69af90, prev = 0xffff96e5741966b0 }, purge_list = { next = 0x0, prev = 0xdead000000000200 }, vm = 0xffff96e5496ca680, callback_head = { next = 0x0, func = 0xffff96e71d51aa00 } } crash> sym 0xffffffffae69af90 ffffffffae69af90 (D) vmap_area_list crash> Dave -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
