Below call chains will alloc map_set without fully initializing map_set. rxe_mr_init_fast() -> rxe_mr_alloc() -> rxe_mr_alloc_map_set() Uninitialized values inside struct rxe_map_set are possible to cause kernel panic. It's noticed that crashes were caused by rnbd user cases, it can be easily reproduced by: $ while true; do echo "sessname=bla path=ip:<ip> device_path=<device>" > /sys/devices/virtual/rnbd-client/ctl/map_device; done The backtraces are not always identical.
