[BUG 4.9/4.10] crash in __d_lookup() due to corrupted dentry_hashtable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Al,

Gustavo reported the crash below within __d_lookup() on s390. I'm wondering
if you can make any sense of it:

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
Failing address: fffffffffffff000 TEID: fffffffffffff803
Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

Looking at the relevant part of __d_lookup:

struct dentry *__d_lookup(const struct dentry *parent, const struct qstr *name)
{
	unsigned int hash = name->hash;
	struct hlist_bl_head *b = d_hash(hash);  <--- points to corrupted entry
	struct hlist_bl_node *node;
	struct dentry *found = NULL;
	struct dentry *dentry;

	rcu_read_lock();
	
	hlist_bl_for_each_entry_rcu(dentry, node, b, d_hash) {

		if (dentry->d_name.hash != hash)
			continue;
...

The contents of *b within the dump is:

> struct hlist_bl_head 000003e0806248f8
struct hlist_bl_head {
	first = 0xffffffffffffffff
}

Note that 0x000003e0806248f8 is a valid address within the
dentry_hashtable. In addition all other entries look ok, as far as I can
tell. This is the only entry that contains a -1UL value.

We also have a second dump with a similar crash with a 4.9 kernel. In that
case there are in total three entries spread within the dentry_hashtable
with a -1UL value, while all other entries seem to look ok. So there seems
to be a pattern.

Note: these kernels do contain addon patches that are not mainline, but I
don't believe that any of those can explain these corruptions.
