Source: linux Version: 6.1.27-1 Severity: critical Tags: upstream Affects: ganeti Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Kernel Maintainers, A regression was introduced with upstream commit 58c5d0d6d5, subsequently backported to 6.1 as 7e6631f7 and released with 6.1.26. These commits break MAP_32BIT and affect applications relying on it. In particular, we are seeing failures in ganeti's autopkgtests[1], where a daemon written in Haskell (the GHC linker uses MAP_32BIT) segfaults with a null pointer dereference. From the build artifacts: ganeti-luxid: mmap 4096 bytes at (nil): Cannot allocate memory ganeti-luxid: Try specifying an address with +RTS -xm<addr> -RTS This has already been discussed on GHC's discourse[2] and has been fixed upstream, with the fix queued for 6.1.30[3]. Please consider upgrading to 6.1.30 or cherry-picking the fix for Bookworm. Thanks, Apollon [1] https://ci.debian.net/packages/g/ganeti/testing/amd64/, notably the run at 2023-05-14 15:13:51 UTC, the first one running on 6.1.27.
