Hi,

my crisv32 qemu test fails with next-20150917 as follows.

NET: Registered protocol family 16
kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:1648!

See http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders/qemu-crisv32-next/builds/83/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio
for a complete log.

Is there a chance to get proper backtrace?

Yes, it should be possible with CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y in the kconfig.


Good to know. I added it to my configuration.

Here it is:

kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:1648!

I still don't understand what's going on :(
Could you try with this instrumentation:

diff --git a/mm/slab.c b/mm/slab.c
index ce9c6531e6f7..10035d1a06d3 100644
--- a/mm/slab.c
+++ b/mm/slab.c

sub_zone_page_state(page_zone(page),

- BUG_ON(!PageSlab(page));
+ if (!PageSlab(page)) {
+ dump_page(page, "page");
+ dump_page(compound_head(page), "compound_head(page)");
+ BUG();
+ }
__ClearPageSlabPfmemalloc(page);
__ClearPageSlab(page);
page_mapcount_reset(page);

page dumped because: page
page:c1f17a04 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping:00d13600 index:0xc0

Does that help ?
