Title:
[AEP-BUG] Critical:concurrent invocations of ndctl can cause linux
panic
Status in intel:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Description:
Patch: fix patch in the libnvdimm pending tree.
Proposed fixes here:
https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2019-June/021847.html
and pushed out to libnvdimm-pending:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/log/?h=libnvdimm-pending
Upstream Bug link: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/issues/96
The problem is fairly easy to reproduce in as little as 10 minutes.
Do the following in parallel, like in separate terminals. Example...
in term #1, #3, #5, type
while [1]; do ndctl create-namespace -m devdax -s 48G done
in term #2, #4, #6, type
while [1]; do ndctl destroy-namespace all -f done
Even simple invocation will eventually lead to a panic, it can take hours
though. Example...
in term #1 run the script
#/bin/bash
while /bin/true
do
ndctl destroy-namespace -f all
date
for R in ndctl list -R | jq -r ".[] | .dev"
do
for i in {1..10}
do
ndctl create-namespace -r $R -s 8g -m devdax
done
done
done
in term #2 type
while /bin/true; do ndctl list done
Run that same terminal #1 script in 2 separate terminals, thereby
creating 2 separate threads that will destroy/create will usually
result in a panic within an hour.
