I have problems with UML crashing that I believe are network related, because the crash happens whenever I try to make heavier use of the network connection to rsync more significant amounts of data from the UML.
It may or may not be significant, but when I am rsyncing from one UML to another, it has so far always been the one that is supplying the data that has crashed. I have this with a UML that is accessed via a tap link and a real network connection, and also between two UMLs on the same host communicating via an 'mcast' connection. Most of the time the affected UML simply locks up, and I can't do anything with it. Even if I try to drive it with uml_mconsole, that will not communicate with the UML. I sometimes see the ---[cut]--- type of output, but it doesn't get beyond that line. Sometimes I see no output before the thing locks up. I've been experimenting with two UML instances communicating via mcast on my local machine, and I have experienced this output: -bash-4.2# /sbin/sshd -bash-4.2# EIP: 0023:[<08075749>] CPU: 0 Not tainted ESP: 002b:165fffb8 EFLAGS: 00010206 Not tainted EAX: 963523cf EBX: 16600638 ECX: 01400002 EDX: 01400000 ESI: 0a0d4828 EDI: 00000000 EBP: 165fffbc DS: 002b ES: 002b 0837a750: [<0806cf3a>] show_regs+0xc0/0xc6 0837a77c: [<0805cd42>] segv+0x202/0x218 0837a81c: [<0805cdaa>] segv_handler+0x52/0x5d 0837a848: [<08068a5f>] sig_handler_common+0x79/0x8c 0837aac8: [<08068b4d>] sig_handler+0x34/0x43 0837aad4: [<080687e2>] hard_handler+0x5a/0x88 0837aafc: [<ffffe410>] 0xffffe410 Kernel panic - not syncing: Kernel mode fault at addr 0x963524a7, ip 0x8075749 0837a744: [<08249cc3>] dump_stack+0x16/0x1a 0837a758: [<08249d4d>] panic+0x67/0x149 0837a770: [<0805cd4e>] segv+0x20e/0x218 0837a81c: [<0805cdaa>] segv_handler+0x52/0x5d 0837a848: [<08068a5f>] sig_handler_common+0x79/0x8c 0837aac8: [<08068b4d>] sig_handler+0x34/0x43 0837aad4: [<080687e2>] hard_handler+0x5a/0x88 0837aafc: [<ffffe410>] 0xffffe410 EIP: 0023:[<400010c2>] CPU: 0 Not tainted ESP: 002b:ff5a8674 EFLAGS: 00000212 Not tainted EAX: ffffffda EBX: ff5a87f0 ECX: ff5a8790 EDX: 401edff4 ESI: 00000000 EDI: ff5a87f0 EBP: ff5a8790 DS: 002b ES: 002b 0837a6b4: [<0806cf3a>] show_regs+0xc0/0xc6 0837a6e0: [<0805cfd3>] panic_exit+0x20/0x36 0837a6f4: [<08088af7>] notifier_call_chain+0x20/0x4b 0837a71c: [<08088b39>] __atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x17/0x19 0837a72c: [<08088b50>] atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x15/0x17 0837a748: [<08249d65>] panic+0x7f/0x149 0837a770: [<0805cd4e>] segv+0x20e/0x218 0837a81c: [<0805cdaa>] segv_handler+0x52/0x5d 0837a848: [<08068a5f>] sig_handler_common+0x79/0x8c 0837aac8: [<08068b4d>] sig_handler+0x34/0x43 0837aad4: [<080687e2>] hard_handler+0x5a/0x88 0837aafc: [<ffffe410>] 0xffffe410 Terminated bash-4.1# What happened here was that I started two virtually identical UML instances on the same host, communicating with each other via mcast interfaces. I started sshd on one of them and then started to rsync data from it to the other. After a short while I got the above. I have a UML running on a remote machine that I access via the Internet. I can always crash this when I try to copy data from it, and I assume that the above represents the same fault. I'm happy to do any testing required to try to help fix this.
