Hi, I'm getting the attached oops during boot from the gssproxy process in rpc_clnt_debugfs_register(). The code at this point is: 0xffffffff8195cbdd <+450>: mov 0x50(%rax),%rcx <--- oopsing 0xffffffff8195cbe1 <+454>: mov $0xffffffff821cc8ba,%rdx 0xffffffff8195cbe8 <+461>: mov $0x18,%esi 0xffffffff8195cbed <+466>: lea -0x30(%rbp),%rdi 0xffffffff8195cbf1 <+470>: callq 0xffffffff819db773 <snprintf> RAX is -EACCES. Looking in the source: len = snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "../../rpc_xprt/%s", xprt->debugfs->d_name.name); I think xprt->debugfs is the value in RAX. (gdb) p &((struct dentry *)0)->d_name.name $5 = (const unsigned char **) 0x50 <irq_stack_union+80> which matches the offset on the oopsing MOV instruction. This is with linus/master (aa0c38cf39de73bf7360a3da8f1707601261e518). David --- BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000043 #PF error: [normal kernel read fault] ...
