These crashes happen while running "dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip > /dev/null" in 2.6.31.6. I'm just making a raw image of another drive. Removing gzip masks the problem. It happens anywhere between almost immediately to after running for 15-30 minutes. All filesystems are XFS, but none of sdb's partitions are mounted and I'm reading the device directly (/dev/sdb, not a partition). The system that's making the image is mounted read-only and isn't running anything else. (Another backtrace at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/11/81.) Here's a curious one; EIP appears to be in data: Pid: 1312, comm: gzip Not tainted (2.6.31.6 #6) G31M-ES2L EIP: 0060:[<c1ae78e4>] EFLAGS: 00010286 CPU: 0 EIP is at 0xc1ae78e4 EAX: c1ae78c0 EBX: c107ccb1 ECX: c1ae78c0 EDX: 00000001 ESI: c1ae78c0 EDI: dfa39069 EBP: c7d29ed0 ESP: c7d29e94 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Process gzip (pid: 1312, ti=c7d28000 task=df8b6080 task.ti=c7d28000) Stack: c107ccc1 c107e559 00000200 c11587cc 00000000 df8a6c80 dfa07168 00000000 <0> 00000000 0000c000 00004000 00000000 dfa39068 00000000 dfa39068 dfa07168 <0> c1158946 df8a6c80 00000000 c11589fd 00000000 df8a6c80 00000000 dfa39068 Call Trace: [<c107ccc1>] ? end_bio_bh_io_sync+0x30/0x38 [<c107e559>] ? bio_endio+0x24/0x26 [<c11587cc>] ? blk_update_request+0xdf/0x24e [<c1158946>] ? blk_update_bidi_request+0xb/0x41 [<c11589fd>] ? blk_end_bidi_request+0x10/0x4f [<c1158a6c>] ? blk_end_request+0x7/0xc [<c11abcc2>] ? scsi_end_request+0x17/0x69 [<c11abfd3>] ? scsi_io_completion+0x173/0x335 [<c11a8340>] ? scsi_finish_command+0x70/0x86 [<c11ac6b6>] ? scsi_softirq_done+0xd7/0xdc [<c115b401>] ? blk_done_softirq+0x51/0x5d [<c101bde0>] ? __do_softirq+0x5f/0xc8 [<c101be6b>] ? do_softirq+0x22/0x26 [<c101becd>] ? irq_exit+0x29/0x34 [<c1004097>] ? do_IRQ+0x53/0x63 [<c1002ea9>] ? common_interrupt+0x29/0x30 Code: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0 72 77 83 00 00 00 00 40 79 ae c1 40 8e 4c df 09 00 00 f0 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 <00> 02 00 00 00 02 00 00 04 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 08 EIP: [<c1ae78e4>] 0xc1ae78e4 SS:ESP 0068:c7d29e94 CR2: 0000000000000001 ---[ end trace fb168fcf160f6893 ]--- -- Glenn Maynard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
