Hm one note, and sorry this probably not very trusting... have you ensured (uname -a) that you actually booted into the right older kernel. Its just easy to go wrong as normally only the kernel with the highest version number is used. One have to fiddle manually with /etc/default/grub (for HVM

Would be great if you were able to get it working again. At least to see whether the crash happens in the same area (timers). At the moment this sounds like something in user-space changed in a way that allows it to mess badly with the kernel. That sounds bad. And if its really somethign getting

I have now downgraded all of these systems to 3.19.8-031908-generic (Mainline). We'll know in a couple of days if this fixed it (or as soon as a few hours if it didn't fix it, possibly). I'll update when I know anything else; good so far! 4.0.9 definitely didn't fix it completely, but MAY have

3.19 crashed as well, just now. This is surprising. I don't have a trace, as the kernel downgrades messed up netconsole somehow, but I'll try to get it working again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

The ifquery segfaults should be safe to ignore. I see those a lot but those don't seem to have any impact (yeah, probably should be fixed at some point ... if there were not always more pressing matters). Your in-house utility, hard to say without knowing more about what causes the segfault

Hey Stefan, Just wanted to update you that I've installed the Mainline 4.0.9 kernel (4.0.9-040009-generic #201507212131) on all affected machines, finishing about an hour ago, from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds. I've still had two crashes in the hour since the downgrade. I don't

Oh hm, another crazy thought...maybe it would also be worth trying a 3.19 kernel... If the guests then crash as well then maybe something in the area of user-space (as in the whole release) is causing issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

More braindump: One thing that seems sure is that the crash occurs in __run_timers after optionally cascading pending timers into higher level lists. This picks a list of timers from the root vector array (tv1) into a temporary location and then removes timers from that (and calls actions)

Note that the following is not final statement but sharing some thoughts to whoever else is looking at this report (and for me to remember). So while I did find nothing that really looked odd in the xen-netfront code I saw there was some change to the generic timer code: commit

Having written that down, it feels quite dangerous to use LIST_POISON in combination with __hlist_del as the latter only protects against the next pointer being NULL (indicating the last list entry). That definitively breaks when trying to detach the same timer twice. Need to think about whether

Looking at both traces this looks to be consistently happen inside run_timer_softirq() and from the offset I would guess we are in the inlined __run_timers. Another noteworthy part is the value of RAX. This is the value of LIST_POISON2 which is used to mark an invalid pointer of a (hlist_node

Thanks for looking into this Stefan! We were completely fine with 15.05 and 3.19. If it won't break anything terribly, I can try to put 3.19, 4.0, and 4.1 on these machines, but each one crashes every 24-48 hours, so it might take me several days. Which kernel would you recommend starting with,

Hi Will and thanks for volunteering. That backtrace at least looks to confirm the educated guess about being related to network. *If* it actually is related, then I could imagine that processing incoming network traffic in softirq context of cpu#1 might cancel a timer which was set to wait for
