I noticed various slab errors with complete kernel crashes with my USB keyboard/mouse on a 32bit parisc machine with both 2.6.28-rc1 and -rc2. Kernel 2.6.27 was still OK. Linux kernel bootlog shows: --------------- ohci_hcd: USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver ohci_hcd 0000:00:0e.2: OHCI Host Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:0e.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 ohci_hcd 0000:00:0e.2: irq 1, io mem 0xf2007000 usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-0:1.0: 3 ports detected usb usb1: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0001 usb usb1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, SerialNumber=1 usb usb1: Product: OHCI Host Controller usb usb1: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.28-rc2 ohci_hcd usb usb1: SerialNumber: 0000:00:0e.2 uhci_hcd: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver After sucessful bootup (without any USB devices attached) I get this when I insert a USB keyboard: --------------- usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice input: SILITEK USB Keyboard and Mouse as /class/input/input0 Slab corruption: size-4096 start=8dd9b000, len=4096 000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 generic-usb 0004:047B:0002.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [SILITEK USB Keyboard and Mouse] on usb-0000:00:0e.2-1/input0 input: SILITEK USB Keyboard and Mouse as /class/input/input1 generic-usb 0003:047B:0002.0002: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [SILITEK USB Keyboard and Mouse] on usb-0000:00:0e.2-1/input1 usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=047b, idProduct=0002 usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-1: Product: USB Keyboard and Mouse usb 1-1: Manufacturer: SILITEK Similiar when I insert a mouse: ------------------ usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice input: Logitech N48 as /class/input/input0 Slab corruption: shmem_inode_cache start=8bd9daa0, len=640 Redzone: 0x0/0x9f911029d74e35b.
