2011-10-18 15:04:44 Stefan Bader description I'm filing this bug in response to threads at [1] and [2]. From those threads, we see reported that * the instance becomes unavailable. * the issue is reported to have to have been seen multiple different instance types [TYPE: m2.xlarge, m1.large, t1.micro ( all types have hung ) ] * at [2] there is BUG_ON output pointing at swap, but I would not have expected a user of an m2.xlarge to be using swap, so I personally suspect that that hang is different.

With that in mind several instances where the lazy mmu mode was disabled explicitly have been removed. However it was found that from k(un)map_atomic there is a chance to cause an oops. Fix: The following patch has been sent upstream (currently it is only in the -mm tree and linux-next). It has been tested to fix the problem on 2.6.38. The specific symptom seen, seems to have come up since 2.6.37, however the lines of code that are re-introduced have been removed since 2.6.31. Testcase: Trying to do forks under high load should trigger the issue (at least on 2.6.37+ kernels) -- I'm filing this bug in response to threads at [1] and [2]. From those threads, we see reported that  * the instance becomes unavailable.  * the issue is reported to have to have been seen multiple different instance types     [TYPE: m2.xlarge, m1.large, t1.micro ( all types have hung ) ]  * at [2] there is BUG_ON output pointing at swap, but I would not have expected a user of an m2.xlarge to be using swap, so I personally suspect that that hang is different.
