Hello Greg,
We need the following 2 upstream commits applied to 5.4.y to fix an
iBFT
boot failure:
2021-03-29 rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx - 1a1c130a 2021-03-23 Rafael J.
Wysocki ACPI: tables: x86: Reserve memory occupied by ACPI tables
2021-04-13 rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx - 6998a88 2021-04-13 Rafael J.
Wysocki ACPI: x86: Call acpi_boot_table_init() after
acpi_table_upgrade()
Currently, only the first commit (1a1c130a) is destined for 5.10 &
5.11.
The 2nd commit (6998a88) is needed as well and both commits are needed
in 5.4.y.
Is this a regression (i.e. did this hardware work on older kernels?),
and if so, what commit caused the problem?
These commits are already in 5.10.y, what changed in older kernels to
require this to be backported?
Hello Greg,
Can the same 2 patches also be applied to 4.14.y, which one of distros
is based on?
4.14.y crashes during ibft boot with KASAN enabled without the 2 patches.
Thank you,
George
Not sure. With KASAN enabled the bug is exposed, but only during boot
as the ACPI tables are freed and their memory re-alloc'd. Silent data
corruption occurs if KASAN not enabled.
This is a latent bug that in upstream was more readily exposed with
the following commit:
commit 7fef431be9c9ac255838a9578331567b9dba4477
Author: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu Oct 15 20:09:35 2020 -0700 mm/page_alloc: place pages
to tail in __free_pages_core()
This is the failure with latest upstream stable and KASAN enabled:
