Exit code 1, which occurs approximately 1% of the time, means it ran out of statically-allocated memory before reproducing the issue, and increasing the memory usage any more only leads to diminishing returns. There is also something like a 0.1% chance that it segfaults due to memory corruption elsewhere than in the statically-allocated buffer. > >> > >> With this reproducer in hand, I was able to perform the following bisection: > > [...] > > > > See Bugzilla for the full thread. > > Additional details from > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217624#c5 : > > ``` > I can confirm that v6.4 with 0bff0aaea03e2a3ed6bfa302155cca8a432a1829 > reverted no longer causes any memory corruption with either my > reproducer or the original program. > ``` > > FWIW: 0bff0aaea03 ("x86/mm: try VMA lock-based page fault handling > first") [merged for v6.4-rc1, authored by Suren Baghdasaryan [already CCed]] > > That's the same commit that causes build problems with go: > > https://lore.kernel.org/all/dbdef34c-3a07-5951-e1ae-e9c6e3cdf51b@xxxxxxxxxx/ Thanks! I'll investigate this later today. After discussing with Andrew, we would like to disable CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK by default until the issue is fixed. I'll post a patch shortly. > > Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) > -- > Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: > https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr > If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page. > > #regzbot introduced: 0bff0aaea03e2a3
