Hello, I am testing GFS (CVS version) with a 2.6.11.5-vanilla kernel. I just follow usage.txt [1] step by step. I created a small 2-nodes cluster (see my /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file [2]). My problem is a kernel panic [3] when I run "cman_tool join". The kernel panic occurs 16 secondes after "cman_tool join" exit successfully. I read the source and the panic() is done by ./include/asm-x86_64/spinlock.h:180: static inline void _raw_write_lock(rwlock_t *rw) { #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK BUG_ON(rw->magic != RWLOCK_MAGIC); #endif __build_write_lock(rw, "__write_lock_failed"); } Any hints? -- Alban [1] http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/doc/usage.txt [2] /etc/cluster/cluster.conf: -------->8-------->8-------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <cluster name="alpha" config_version="3"> <cman> </cman> <clusternodes> <clusternode name="sam21.toulouse"> </clusternode> <clusternode name="sam22.toulouse"> </clusternode> </clusternodes> <fencedevices> <fencedevice name="human" agent="fence_manual"/> </fencedevices> <fence_daemon post_join_delay="12"> </fence_daemon> </cluster> -------->8-------->8-------- [3] Kernel panic: ----------- [cut here ] --------- [please bite here ] --------- Kernel BUG at spinlock:179 invalid operand: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 Modules linked in: lock_dlm dlm cman gfs lock_harness md5 ipv6 parport_pc lp parport autofs4 i2c_dev i2c_core sunrpc dm_mod video button battery ac uhci_hcd ehci_hcd hw_random e1000 ext3 jbd ata_piix libata sd_mod scsi_mod Pid: 3583, comm: cman_comms Tainted: GF 2.6.11.5-alban01 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff80337b4c>] <ffffffff80337b4c>{_read_lock+12} RSP: 0018:ffff8100364cbd90 EFLAGS: 00010213 RAX: ffffffff881f3960 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffff8100364cbfd8 RSI: ffff81003ad7c680 RDI: ffffffff881f3960 RBP: 0000000000090000 R08: afe2180f00000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffffffff80434d60 R11: 0000000000000004 R12: 0000000000000019 R13: ffff81003efb1800 R14: ffff8100364cbe78 R15: 0000000000000010 FS: 00002aaaaaac6b00(0000) GS:ffffffff804e8c00(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00002aaaad18e000 CR3: 000000003a0f1000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process cman_comms (pid: 3583, threadinfo ffff8100364ca000, task ffff81003af48920) Stack: ffffffff881d875f 0000000000000005 ffffffff881d3cce 000000250000000a 000000000001babe ffff810039224b80 ffffffff881f28d0 000000000001e121 000000000000001f 000000250000000a Call Trace:<ffffffff881d875f>{:cman:find_node_by_nodeid+15} <ffffffff881d3cce>{:cman:cluster_kthread+654} <ffffffff80132630>{default_wake_function+0} <ffffffff8010f1c7>{child_rip+8} <ffffffff881d3a40>{:cman:cluster_kthread+0} <ffffffff8010f1bf>{child_rip+0} Code: 0f 0b aa 6e 35 80 ff ff ff ff b3 00 f0 83 28 01 0f 88 77 03 RIP <ffffffff80337b4c>{_read_lock+12} RSP <ffff8100364cbd90> <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops -------->8-------->8--------
