When I fuzz testing a 32 bit UML at a 32 bit host (guest 3.12.-rc6-x, host 3.11.6) with trinity and use hostfs for the victom files for trinity. then trintiy often hangs while trying to finish. At the host I do have 1 process eating 100% CPU power of 1 core. A back trace of thet linux process at the hosts gives : tfoerste@n22 ~ $ sudo gdb /usr/local/bin/linux-v3.12-rc6-57-g69c88dc 16749 -n -batch -ex bt radix_tree_next_chunk (root=0x21, iter=0x47647c60, flags=12) at lib/radix-tree.c:769 769 while (++offset < RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE) { #0 radix_tree_next_chunk (root=0x21, iter=0x47647c60, flags=12) at lib/radix-tree.c:769 #1 0x080cc13e in find_get_pages (mapping=0x483ed240, start=0, nr_pages=14, pages=0xc) at mm/filemap.c:844 #2 0x080d5caa in pagevec_lookup (pvec=0x47647cc4, mapping=0x21, start=33, nr_pages=33) at mm/swap.c:914 #3 0x080d609a in truncate_inode_pages_range (mapping=0x483ed240, lstart=0, lend=-1) at mm/truncate.c:241 #4 0x080d643f in truncate_inode_pages (mapping=0x21, lstart=51539607585) at mm/truncate.c:358 #5 0x08260838 in hostfs_evict_inode (inode=0x483ed188) at fs/hostfs/hostfs_kern.c:242 #6 0x0811a8cf in evict (inode=0x483ed188) at fs/inode.c:549 #7 0x0811b2ad in iput_final (inode=<optimized out>) at fs/inode.c:1391 #8 iput (inode=0x483ed188) at fs/inode.c:1409 #9 0x08117648 in dentry_iput (dentry=<optimized out>) at fs/dcache.c:331 #10 d_kill (dentry=0x47d6d580, parent=0x47d95d10) at fs/dcache.c:477 #11 0x08118068 in dentry_kill (dentry=<optimized out>, unlock_on_failure=<optimized out>) at fs/dcache.c:586 #12 dput (dentry=0x47d6d580) at fs/dcache.c:641 #13 0x08104903 in __fput (file=0x47471840) at fs/file_table.c:264 #14 0x0810496b in ____fput (work=0x47471840) at fs/file_table.c:282 #15 0x08094496 in task_work_run () at kernel/task_work.c:123 #16 0x0807efd2 in exit_task_work (task=<optimized out>) at include/linux/task_work.h:21 #17 do_exit (code=1196535808) at kernel/exit.c:787 #18 0x0807f5dd in do_group_exit (exit_code=0) at kernel/exit.c:920 #19 0x0807f649 in SYSC_exit_group (error_code=<optimized out>) at kernel/exit.c:931 #20 SyS_exit_group (error_code=0) at kernel/exit.c:929 #21 0x08062984 in handle_syscall (r=0x4763b1d4) at arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c:35 #22 0x08074fb5 in handle_trap (local_using_sysemu=<optimized out>, regs=<optimized out>, pid=<optimized out>) at arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c:198 #23 userspace (regs=0x4763b1d4) at arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c:431 #24 0x0805f750 in fork_handler () at arch/um/kernel/process.c:160 #25 0x00000000 in ??
