We are seeing crash in do_task_stat while accessing stack pointer, It
seems same task has already completed do_exit call.
So it seems a race between them:
Please, post exact kernel version and struct task_struct::usage if you
still have that kernel core (or even full task_struct)
Hi Alexey,

We are working on 4.9.65 and Please find below usage value and other task_struct value,
please let me know if some other data required as well.
Kernel stacks live their own lives nowadays, the code needs try_get_task_stack().

Hi Alexey,

Yes , agree we have to put some check like below

  if (permitted && (task->flags & PF_DUMPCORE) && try_get_task_stack(task)) {

                        eip = KSTK_EIP(task);

                        esp = KSTK_ESP(task);

                }

Or instead of this also , can't we check whether task is in exiting path or not by checking some flags like PF_EXITING.

Regards

Gaurav
