Unhandled prefetch abort when probing USB flash drive

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

 



Hi,

I have been running into a kernel panic when probing a USB flash drive, and was after some advice or suggestions on what might be going wrong.

First up, the details of my setup:
 * Initially seen on Linux 5.7.19, but I've tested on a vanilla copy of Linux 5.15.0 without any extra modules, and the panic still occurs.
 * Flash drive (lsusb): Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1005:b113 Apacer Technology, Inc. Handy Steno 2.0/HT203
 * Our system is based on the Marvell 98DX323x SoC (Arm v7, based on the Armada 370/XP)

The panic occurs after sd_probe() gets called, with the USB flash drive attached. This occurs around 1 time out of 100. We first saw this during a reboot, but it can be reproduced much faster by loading and unloading the sd_mod module in a loop, to exercise the probe function.

When adding some diagnostic print statements, I found that adding a delay into sd_probe(), just after the call to device_add_disk(), seems to prevent the issue.

The actual headline of the panic is not always the same, we have seen:
* Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x808) at 0x9fbfa73c
* Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1416) at 0x76f5e508
* Unhandled prefetch abort: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1008) at 0x803c8a88

Included below is an example of the panic output.

Thank you,
Joshua Scott
