I am not subscribed to any of the lists on the To list here, please CC me on any replies. I am encountering a fairly consistent crash anywhere from 15 minutes to 12 hours after boot with scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 dm_mod.use_blk_mq=1 The crash looks like: [ 5466.075993] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI [ 5466.075997] Modules linked in: esp4 xfrm4_mode_tunnel fuse usblp uvcvideo pci_stub vboxpci(O) vboxnetadp(O) vboxnetflt(O) vboxdrv(O) ip6table_filter ip6_tables xt_tcpudp nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_conntrack nf_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables intel_rapl joydev serio_raw wmi_bmof iwldvm iwlwifi shpchp kvm_intel kvm irqbypass autofs4 algif_skcipher nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel [ 5466.076022] CPU: 3 PID: 10573 Comm: pool Tainted: G O 4.15.13-f1-dirty #148 [ 5466.076024] Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook Folio 9470m/18DF, BIOS 68IBD Ver.

This is clearly deep in the blk_mq code, and it goes away when I remove the use_blk_mq kernel command line parameters. My next obvious step is to try and disable the load of the vbox modules. I can include the full dmesg output if it would be helpful. The system is an older HP Ultrabook, and the root partition is, sda1 (a SSD) -> a LUKS encrypted partition -> LVM -> BTRFS. The kernel is a stock 4.15.11, however I only recently added the blk_mq options, so while I can state that I have seen this on multiple kernels in the 4.15.x series, I have not tested earlier kernels in this configuration. Looking through the code, I'd guess that this is dying inside blkg_rwstat_add, which calls percpu_counter_add_batch, which is what RIP is pointing at. Regards, Zephaniah E. Loss-Cutler-Hull.
