Subject: Re: BUG in find_pid_ns


Adding Oleg since he knows about as much about signals and pids as
anyone.

To my knowledge there are no in progress patches to this area of the kernel
and nothing has changed in quite a while.

The bad pointer value is 0xfffffffffffffff0.  Hmm.

If you have the failure location correct it looks like a corrupted hash
entry was found while following the hash chain.

It looks like the memory has been set to -16 -EBUSY? Weird.

It smells like something is stomping on the memory of a struct pid, with
the same hash value and thus in the same hash chain as the current pid.

Can you reproduce this?

Memory corruption is hard to trace down with just a single data point.

Looking a little closer Sasha you have rewritten
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, and that seems to be the most recent patch
dealing with pids, and we are failing in hlist_for_each_entry_rcu.

I haven't looked at your patch in enough detail to know if you have
missed something or not, but a brand new patch and a brand new failure
certainly look suspicious at first glance.
