Copy of my mail to kernel-team: Show Details Hi,
after reading through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates I think that bug 164904 is appropriate for gutsy. Problem: - XFS delays vunmap and leaves stale mappings. This is considered wrong even in normal kernel. But as Xen uses those mappings memory corruption can occur Why I think its appropriate for gutsy - It causes, sometimes silent, data-corruption and crashes - Hard to diagnose as the backtraces are quite random - Obviously correct fix, as the fix is the fallback currently used in tight memory conditions. - Patch is applied upstream Any other Information needed? Greetings, Andres -- stray mappings left behind by xfs make xen kernels crash. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
