Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000007 Pid: 1, comm: init Tainted: G R O 3.4.24.19-0.11-default #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8144dd24>] panic+0xc1/0x1e2 [<ffffffff8104483b>] do_exit+0x7db/0x8d0 [<ffffffff81044c7a>] do_group_exit+0x3a/0xa0 [<ffffffff8105394b>] get_signal_to_deliver+0x1ab/0x5e0 [<ffffffff81002270>] do_signal+0x60/0x5f0 [<ffffffff8145bf97>] ? do_page_fault+0x4a7/0x4d0 [<ffffffff81170d2c>] ? poll_select_copy_remaining+0xec/0x140 [<ffffffff81002885>] do_notify_resume+0x65/0x80 [<ffffffff8124ca7e>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3c [<ffffffff814587ab>] retint_signal+0x4d/0x92 The system has a little memory left, then reboot it, and get the panic. Perhaps this is a bug and trigger it like this and the latest kernel maybe also have the problem. use a lot of memory wake up kswapd() reclaim some pages from init thread (pid=1) reboot shutdown the disk init thread read data from disk page fault, because the page has already reclaimed receive SIGBUS, and init thread exit trigger the panic Thanks, Xishi Qiu -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
