Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 22:16:17 -0400 From: Dave Jones <davej@...hat.com> To: Linux Kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: frequent slab corruption (since a long time) Every so often, I see a slab corruption bug reported against the Fedora kernels (going back as far as 2.6.11), and it's still plagueing us. It seems to have turned up in a number of different scenarios, which makes it all the more complicated, but the footprint is always the same. We write ffffffff00000000 to freed memory. All the example cases seen so far have been on 32-bit x86. Anyone have any clues where that value could be coming from? There's a collection of corruption reports at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160878 Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
