I upgraded the kernel to v3.5-rc2 on my Ubuntu (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) and faced with the problem: if I build the module and load it (even without any using of it) I can't unload it with 'module is busy' message. Sometimes the rmmod command returns with 'Killed' and I get this in dmesg: Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849739] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 35af7004 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849765] IP: [<c109f965>] module_refcount+0x25/0x90 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849775] *pdpt = 000000002c8d8001 *pde = 0000000000000000 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849786] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849816] Modules linked in: cifs(O) fscache binfmt_misc snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hd a_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_timer snd_seq_device snd nouve au ttm drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit kvm_amd mxm_wmi soundcore video snd_page_alloc kvm i2c_nforce2 wmi k8temp serio_raw mac _hid ppdev parport_pc lp parport floppy skge pata_amd sata_nv forcedeth [last unloaded: cifs] Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849854] Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849865] Pid: 3180, comm: rmmod Tainted: G O 3.5.0-030500rc2-generic #2012 06082235 MSI MS-7309/MS-7309 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849877] EIP: 0060:[<c109f965>] EFLAGS: 00010293 CPU: 0 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849887] EIP is at module_refcount+0x25/0x90 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849894] EAX: 00000000 EBX: ecbe21e0 ECX: 35af7000 EDX: 00000000 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849903] ESI: 00000000 EDI: fa0be780 EBP: f5801ec4 ESP: f5801eb8 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849912] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849920] CR0: 8005003b CR2: 35af7004 CR3: 2c8a0000 CR4: 000007f0 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849929] DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849937] DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849945] Process rmmod (pid: 3180, ti=f5800000 task=f6c7a5e0 task.ti=f5800000) Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849954] Stack: Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849965] ecbe21e0 ecbe21e0 fa0be784 f5801efc c109fa28 ecbe21e0 c177e6da fa0be78c Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849978] 0004321e fa0be780 fa0be784 f5801f20 ecbe21e0 20bfff3c fffffff4 ecbe21e0 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.849992] fa0be784 f5801f3c c116ab35 00000000 00000000 b7791000 ecbe2208 00000400 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850001] Call Trace: Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850010] [<c109fa28>] m_show+0x58/0x1b0 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850020] [<c116ab35>] seq_read+0x145/0x380 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850029] [<c116a9f0>] ? seq_lseek+0x170/0x170 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850040] [<c119c2a4>] proc_reg_read+0x64/0xa0 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850053] [<c114dd5c>] vfs_read+0x8c/0x160 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850061] [<c119c240>] ? proc_reg_write+0xa0/0xa0 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850071] [<c114de6d>] sys_read+0x3d/0x70 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850081] [<c15cf89f>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850120] Code: 5b 5d c3 8d 76 00 55 89 e5 57 56 53 3e 8d 74 26 00 31 f6 89 c7 b8 ff ff ff ff eb 13 66 90 8b 0c 85 a0 c6 8a c1 8b 97 78 01 00 00 <03> 74 0a 04 8d 48 01 a1 0c 59 5d c1 ba 08 00 00 00 e8 f5 ad 22 Jun 14 13:30:10 workstation kernel: [ 527.850567] EIP: [<c109f965>] module_refcount+0x25/0x90 SS:ESP 0068:f5801eb8 Another thing I noticed is /proc/fs/cifs/traceSMB is set to some big negative value - very strange. If I use the module from the package everything is ok. Also with all previous kernels everything goes fine too. Any thoughts on what can be broken in v3.5 from v3.4? fyi: v3.5-rc2 doesn't make any difference. -- Best regards, Pavel Shilovsky. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
