[PATCH 9/9] ftrace: function profiler band-aid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Kernel Panic when stressing ftrace function_profiler

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500156

This patch does not fix the whole issue but removes a few probable spots
where the panic could originate from.

	[root@void ~]#  while true
	>  do echo "starting new test..."
	> ./function_profiler.sh sleep 2 > /dev/null
	> dmesg -c
	> ./function_profiler.sh ls -la > /dev/null
	> dmesg -c;
	> done
	starting new test...
	starting new test...
	...
	Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
