Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel paging request; RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81210d75>] [<ffffffff81210d75>] fput+0x5/0x90

[Bartong]

Kernel Oops causing system to become unresponsive (cannot SSH in or get a console on screen via CTRL-ALT-F1). Requires hard reset to bring system back up. Sorry I'm new to reporting these sort of bugs so unsure if I've supplied sufficient information!

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.12 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Bartong (barton-guy)]

I first noticed the problem on kernel 4.4.0-81. The computer froze up a few times before I started digging into the logs to try and figure out what was wrong. It was freezing about 3-4 times per day.

I rolled back to kernel 4.4.0-79, which seemed to be more stable but still suffered an Oops at least once per day. Upgraded to 4.4.0-83 when it became available, but still suffering an Oops occasionally.

Also around this time I was suffering graphics issues where the display became unresponsive. There was no kernel oops, but it seemed the nouveau driver was crashing. I've switched to the nvidia proprietry driver, which has resulted in a stable display, but even since then a kernel oops reoccured. Most recent log of the oops below.

I'm probably not too keen to go mainline kernel as this is not a testing system - but could we achieve a similar test if I went for the HWE kernel (which I think is currently 4.8 ?)

Thank you for your reply!

Thinking back on system changes I think these issues may have started occurring roughly the time I installed LXD and started running containers.

So I've uninstalled LXD and will monitor to see if the issue clears up.

Thanks.

[Bartong (barton-guy)]

So I now have stable system uptime exceeding 48 hours with no oops messages - which was never close to happening before with LXD installed.

So based on that test I'd probably have to put the kernel issues down to LXD. I have googled a bit and seen that there have been a number of bugs in the 4.4 kernel that were related to LXD, but all seemed to have been closed with fixes committed. Is it a chance I've found a new bug? Or just something particularly related to the kernel modules I have installed clashing with LXD (such as the nvidia proprietary driver and virtualbox) ?
