Subject: Deadlock (un-killable processes) in sys_futex
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 18:22:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAP145pinoutWaVCAf1xk8X-Bc8Uu=d2DD8k3w_o=V7caNLqNLA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

After fuzzing the linux kernel (3.12-rc4) I have two processes which
are stuck in an un-killable state. This is not specific to 3.12-rc4,
as I'm able to reproduce it on most modern kernels (e.g. Ubuntu's 3.5)
after a few minutes of fuzzing with a syscall fuzzer.

The debug data can be found here: http://alt.swiecki.net/linux/20327/
- process PIDs: 20327 and 13735

It includes..

ftrace report (probably the most useful):
I'm not expert in this kernel area (futex/mm), but it seems like a
constatnt loop between fault_in_user_writeable() and do_page_fault():

kdb stacktraces showing that both processes (single-threaded) are
stuck in sys_futex:
