Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm reproducing a kernel bug in vmalloc_sync_all() with a 32-bit x86
kernel.
The problem appears in
Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-50-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 6 18:45:45 UTC
2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
Kernels 4.15.0-49 and prior work fine.
The kernel 4.18.0-20-generic works fine.
This problem has not been experienced with upstream Linux kernels.
It appears that invoking vmalloc_sync_all() a few times end up
triggering this issue. This can be triggered by restarting the lttng-
sessiond service with lttng-modules-dkms installed (sometimes a few
restarts are needed to trigger the bug). This ends up unloading and
reloading those modules, which issues a few vmalloc_sync_all() as side-
effect.
I'm not reporting this issue with the "ubuntu-bug linux" command because
it crashes the system on that kernel (system hangs, no console output).
My test system runs within a kvm virtual machine on a 64-bit host.
