I received the following trying to unmount a GFS partition. I tried to unmount a GFS partition shared between three nodes and it hung. I discovered that one of the nodes had become unresponsive so I manually ACKED the fence request and attempted to unmount. The following occurred: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 001dae44 printing eip: f88cda59 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: lock_dlm dlm cman gfs lock_harness 8250 serial_core dm_mod CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<f88cda59>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010286 (2.6.8.1) EIP is at name_to_directory_nodeid+0x15/0xf9 [dlm] eax: 001dae00 ebx: e8dc304c ecx: c1b5ae3c edx: e8dc304c esi: 00000000 edi: 001dae00 ebp: e8dc304c esp: f7297ec0 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process dlm_recoverd (pid: 859, threadinfo=f7296000 task=f7125930) Stack: f706c000 f706c000 c1b5ae00 00000000 f88db235 00000000 e8dc304c c1b5ae00 c1b5aef0 e8dc304c f88cdb5e 001dae00 e8dc30c5 00000018 f88dc727 e8dc304c 00000003 00000003 f706c000 00000000 001dae00 e8dc304c e8dc304c c1b5ae00 Call Trace: [<f88db235>] rcom_send_message+0xe1/0x217 [dlm] [<f88cdb5e>] get_directory_nodeid+0x21/0x25 [dlm] [<f88dc727>] rsb_master_lookup+0x1a/0x126 [dlm] [<f88dc9a6>] restbl_rsb_update+0x142/0x165 [dlm] [<f88dcf04>] ls_reconfig+0xd5/0x220 [dlm] [<f88ddf71>] dlm_recoverd+0x0/0x66 [dlm] [<f88ddc99>] do_ls_recovery+0x16c/0x444 [dlm] [<f88ddfbd>] dlm_recoverd+0x4c/0x66 [dlm] [<c012aeb9>] kthread+0xb7/0xbd [<c012ae02>] kthread+0x0/0xbd [<c0102161>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Code: 83 7f 44 01 74 65 8b 44 24 34 89 44 24 04 8b 44 24 30 89 04 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 001dae44 f88cda59 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<f88cda59>] Not tainted Using defaults from ksymoops -t elf32-i386 -a i386 EFLAGS: 00010286 (2.6.8.1) eax: 001dae00 ebx: e8dc304c ecx: c1b5ae3c edx: e8dc304c esi: 00000000 edi: 001dae00 ebp: e8dc304c esp: f7297ec0 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Stack: f706c000 f706c000 c1b5ae00 00000000 f88db235 00000000 e8dc304c c1b5ae00 c1b5aef0 e8dc304c f88cdb5e 001dae00 e8dc30c5 00000018 f88dc727 e8dc304c 00000003 00000003 f706c000 00000000 001dae00 e8dc304c e8dc304c c1b5ae00 [<f88db235>] rcom_send_message+0xe1/0x217 [dlm] [<f88cdb5e>] get_directory_nodeid+0x21/0x25 [dlm] [<f88dc727>] rsb_master_lookup+0x1a/0x126 [dlm] [<f88dc9a6>] restbl_rsb_update+0x142/0x165 [dlm] [<f88dcf04>] ls_reconfig+0xd5/0x220 [dlm] [<f88ddf71>] dlm_recoverd+0x0/0x66 [dlm] [<f88ddc99>] do_ls_recovery+0x16c/0x444 [dlm] [<f88ddfbd>] dlm_recoverd+0x4c/0x66 [dlm] [<c012aeb9>] kthread+0xb7/0xbd [<c012ae02>] kthread+0x0/0xbd [<c0102161>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Code: 83 7f 44 01 74 65 8b 44 24 34 89 44 24 04 8b 44 24 30 89 04 >>EIP; f88cda59 <pg0+38477a59/3fba8000> <===== >>eax; 001dae00 Before first symbol >>ebx; e8dc304c <pg0+2896d04c/3fba8000> >>ecx; c1b5ae3c <pg0+1704e3c/3fba8000> >>edx; e8dc304c <pg0+2896d04c/3fba8000> >>edi; 001dae00 Before first symbol >>ebp; e8dc304c <pg0+2896d04c/3fba8000> >>esp; f7297ec0 <pg0+36e41ec0/3fba8000> Code; f88cda59 <pg0+38477a59/3fba8000> 00000000 <_EIP>: Code; f88cda59 <pg0+38477a59/3fba8000> <===== 0: 83 7f 44 01 cmpl $0x1,0x44(%edi) <===== Code; f88cda5d <pg0+38477a5d/3fba8000> 4: 74 65 je 6b <_EIP+0x6b> f88cdac4 <pg0+38477ac4/3fba8000> Code; f88cda5f <pg0+38477a5f/3fba8000> 6: 8b 44 24 34 mov 0x34(%esp,1),%eax Code; f88cda63 <pg0+38477a63/3fba8000> a: 89 44 24 04 mov %eax,0x4(%esp,1) Code; f88cda67 <pg0+38477a67/3fba8000> e: 8b 44 24 30 mov 0x30(%esp,1),%eax Code; f88cda6b <pg0+38477a6b/3fba8000> 12: 89 04 00 mov %eax,(%eax,%eax,1)
