Kernel crash (in ext4?)
pwaller opened this issue · 3 comments
Please let me know if you want to receive this kind of report or not.
novm 0.0-187.g62366c6, i7-3770, Debian 8 x64, go 1.4, python 2.7.8, linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt2-1 (2014-12-08).
I experienced a kernel crash after leaving this running idle for some time (>45 minutes):
$ novm create --name test --nofork --terminal --com1
The command froze, became a zombie and had a child process stuck in an uninterruptable sleep. I am unsure if the kernel crash is cause or effect of a novm problem.

For anyone following by email, I forgot to mention the novm version, it's 0.0-187.g62366c6. (I've also edited the report above).
Thanks for the report!
To confirm: is this a host crash or a guest crash? Looks like a host crash (all those crazy modules).
It doesn't look like anything related to the KVM module (but it might be). In any case, some random userspace program shouldn't be capable of crashing the host kernel like this. Looks like you've hit a kernel bug. You could try submitting this to upstream Linux, but if you've got third-party drivers they may not be sympathetic (I'm not sure about iTCO_*, asus_wmi, etc.).
It's a host crash. Closing for now. I'll do some more investigating. At least it's here in case someone happens to search for it.
