LP 1840046 is just another report of the same issue, but the issue is likely to be fixed with upstream stable patchset 2019-07-23: that is currently already in progress: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1837664
Yes, we can leave this open (of course) until LP 1837664 is completed (it's already Fix Committed). And after a quick verification if the issue is really solved, we can eventually close this LP. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Changed in: ubuntu-z-systems Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1841447 Title: Periodic Msg "BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: -16384" Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Fix Committed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: A message "BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: -16384" occurs frequently during IPL of Ubuntu 18.04.1 and 18.04.2 and also periodically appear very often on the console device after the IPL has finished, which is very annoying.
