2018-01-19 14:46:16 Joseph Salisbury description In doing Ubuntu 17.10 regression testing, we've encountered one computer (boldore, a Cisco UCS C240 M4 [VIC]), that hangs about one in four times when running our cpu_offlining test. This test attempts to take all the CPU cores offline except one, then brings them back online again. This test ran successfully on boldore with previous releases, but with 17.10, the system sometimes (about one in four runs) hangs. Reverting to Ubuntu 16.04.3, I found no problems; but when I upgraded the 16.04.3 installation to linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic, the problem appeared again, so I'm confident this is a problem with the kernel. I'm attaching two files, dmesg-output-4.10.txt and dmesg-output-4.13.txt, which show the dmesg output that appears when running the cpu_offlining test with 4.10.0-38 and 4.13.0-16 kernels, respectively; the system hung on the 4.13 run. (I was running "dmesg -w" in a second SSH login; the files are cut-and-pasted from that.) I initiated this bug report from an Ubuntu 16.04.3 installation running a 4.10 kernel; but as I said, this applies to the 4.13 kernel.

This bug was causing regression tests to hang about one in four times when running cpu_offlining tests. This patch to fix this regression was just submitted to mainline, so it is also needed in Bionic. == Fix == commit d47924417319e3b6a728c0b690f183e75bc2a702 Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Date: Tue Jan 16 19:59:59 2018 +0100 x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Prevent use after free == Regression Potential == Low. This patch fixes a current regression that is a use after free. ### Original Bug Description ### In doing Ubuntu 17.10 regression testing, we've encountered one computer (boldore, a Cisco UCS C240 M4 [VIC]), that hangs about one in four times when running our cpu_offlining test. This test attempts to take all the CPU cores offline except one, then brings them back online again. This test ran successfully on boldore with previous releases, but with 17.10, the system sometimes (about one in four runs) hangs. Reverting to Ubuntu 16.04.3, I found no problems; but when I upgraded the 16.04.3 installation to linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic, the problem appeared again, so I'm confident this is a problem with the kernel. I'm attaching two files, dmesg-output-4.10.txt and dmesg-output-4.13.txt, which show the dmesg output that appears when running the cpu_offlining test with 4.10.0-38 and 4.13.0-16 kernels, respectively; the system hung on the 4.13 run.
