BUG at mm/memory.c:1501 in 2.6.0-test5

From: Petr Vandrovec
Date: Thu Sep 18 2003 - 15:30:13 EST


Hi,
yesterday night I shut down VMware virtual machine. About 20 seconds
after that I decided to close VMware UI, and bad thing happened - VMware's
window was partially obscuring xterm, and when I closed UI, only
upper half of VMware window disappeared, until place where xterm window
ended. Bottom half of window was left here, and X server died.

+========+
| |
+===| | +=====+
|xte| VMware | => |xterm|
+---| | +-----+------+
| | | |
+--------+ +--------+

Investigation revealed that X server got killed as shown below (unfortunately
stack trace is a bit suspicious - couple of stale entries is printed due
to quality of gcc 3 in eliminating unused local variables & aligning stack
to 16byte boundaries), with page_file() being set for some page whose
vma->vm_ops was NULL (vma->vm_ops == edx, vma == esi in dump below).

Today I spent over 8 hours trying to find what wrong could VMware do
to the system and/or XFree, but as I was not able to explain it,
I think that I'll ask here. Maybe someone else will know how this could
happen. Only thing I know is that system was under big memory pressure
while VM was running, and that VMware I used uses fadvise(WILL_NEED)
with approx 128kB buffers before issuing actual pread(). But as this
happened in completely different process, it should not matter.

Kernel is UP with all debugging enabled, DRI disabled, i8042 debugging
enabled. System is old 1G Athlon, A7V, 512MB RAM. MCE check is printed
since we stopped setting bank 0 in -test3 or -test4, and I already
reported this on L-K, with no conclusion.
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
