Subject: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7: amverify w/ ide-tape causes bug, then kernel panic

Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2005 08:43:54 -0400

Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7
Version: 2.6.12-6
Severity: important

amverify started, then shortly later (after the first thing was done
verifying, I think) these managed to make it to syslog. As you can see,
it got the bug message, then rebooted itself a few minutes later:

Sep  9 01:12:27 Maxwell kernel: ide-tape: bug: tape->next_stage != NULL
Sep  9 01:16:14 Maxwell kernel: klogd 1.4.1#17, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Sep  9 01:16:14 Maxwell kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.12-1-k7

This is quite repeatable, and I never saw it on 2.6.8 (sarge). I'll test
that particular tape on 2.6.8 just to be sure.

Shortly (as in a second at most) after that, it panics (with the "in the
interrupt handler, not syncing" message), which doesn't make it to the
log. If that info is imporant, I'll work on getting a serial console to
capture it.

Oh, btw, it just died on a different tape tonight... I rebooted to
2.6.8, and it works fine there. So its definitely a regression from 2.6.8.

Hi Anthony,

I am forwarding this to the IDE Tape maintainer for his consideration.

Anthony, do you still see this bug with 2.6.15 or (better yet) 2.6.16?
(will be uploaded tomorrow).

2.6.15, yes. I'll check 2.6.16 when it hits unstable (I'm guessing, 
though I still need to test, that the ide-tape cleanup in 2.6.9 borked it)

2.6.16 generally panics before even looking at the initrd. The one time 
(out of like 10 tries) it booted, the ide-tape bug is still there.

There is an additional message, something along the lines of 
dma_map_(something). It repeated a lot, starting when amverify read the 
tape label and continuing until the eventual fatal panic.

Tried to get it a second time to write it down, but 2.6.16 wouldn't boot 
again. Filing a separate bug on that.

Oh. :/  Well, so much about continous improvement, ey? ;-)

Just a general note from a bystander, who is probably not directly concerned
by this particular bug.

Please, when you mention such bugs, can you add at least a one line
description of what they actually do, or maybe copy the original bug title or
something, so those who handle bug reports, possibly offline, through the
email interface, can get an instant idea of what this is about.

This would help everyone's productivity, and is not so costly a thing to do
for the poster, so i mention it here.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions?
