Public bug reported:
A KVM/QEMU guest on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy, HWE kernel 6.8.0-79-generic)
hits a kernel oops with “Bad pagetable: 000d” while a Java GUI
(AWT/JavaFX) is active. Kdump triggers and captures a vmcore. First
noticed after updating to 6.8.0-79; comparison with 6.8.0-78 is pending
(I will test -78 next and report back).
Environment
- Guest OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 (Jammy) with HWE kernel 6.8.0-79-generic
- Virtualization: KVM/QEMU, machine type Q35
- Guest GPU: virtio GPU [1af4:1050] (virgl, 3D accel forced to drive 5120x1440
monitor)
- Mesa stack in guest: 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.3
- glxinfo -B shows: vendor Mesa; renderer “virgl (AMD Radeon Graphics
(radeonsi, raphael_mendocino, …))”
- lspci: “00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Red Hat, Inc. Virtio GPU
[1af4:1050]”
- Kernel cmdline (guest):
workqueue.default_to_unbound=1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 panic=10
loglevel=7 systemd.show_status=1 drm.debug=0x1e crashkernel=512M-:192M
Symptom / oops signature
- Console shows:
- “AWT-EventQueue-: Corrupted page table at address 8038358c”
- “Bad pagetable: 000d [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI”
- Oops path from vmcore (crash(8)):
pgtable_bad → do_user_addr_fault → exc_page_fault → asm_exc_page_fault →
crash_kexec
- Example PTE that triggered:
PTE 0x8000000299d39867 → PHYS 0x299d39000 FLAGS:
PRESENT|RW|USER|ACCESSED|DIRTY|NX
- Task at oops time:
PID 11858, COMM "AWT-EventQueue-" (JVM GUI thread)
- Hardware banner in oops:
“QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2”
Frequency / workload
- Reproduced under interactive GUI load in the VM (Java AWT/JavaFX
application). Prior lines in dmesg show frequent DRM atomic FB flips from
virtio_gpu while the desktop/app is active.
What I collected
- kdump vmcore + dmesg from crash (vmcore:
/var/crash/202509090957/dump.202509090957; dmesg saved)
- guest serial console log and QMP event log from the host during the incident
- full kernel command line and module list, Mesa/GLx info, and lspci output
What I’m about to try
- Boot the same guest with 6.8.0-78-generic (vmlinuz.old/initrd.img.old) to
determine if this is a 6.8.0-79 regression or not; I will update the bug with
results.
- If requested, I can also try a -proposed HWE build for confirmation.
Questions for triage
- Does this look like a kernel-side virtio_gpu/DRM/MM issue vs. a userspace
virglrenderer trigger?
- Any known fixes in later 6.8 HWE updates that match this signature?
