The 3.11.5-031105.201311251400_amd64 (6b8fe6d417f93fa628779b1afd9e7717bbcb0572) kernel is bad, I was able to trigger the oops. However, the oops was only triggered after several days of usage, making me uneasy that the cause of the oops might be present in earlier kernels and I simply failed to trigger it.
In the meantime until I get a new kernel to test, I'll go back to some previous kernels and test them a bit more to see if I can trigger anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249719 Title: Kernel oops - BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000030; IP: [<ffffffff811c07c7>] touch_atime+0x17/0x140 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since 3.11.0-13-generic, I've been encountering the following kernel oops. I can trigger it quite reliably by watching full-screen videos on YouTube using google-chrome (Version 31.0.1650.48) for roughly 10 minutes. Once the oops happens, the system remains up, but certain programs (like top) start hanging and a reboot is needed to restore full functionality. I've tried using 3.12.0-999-generic (3.12.0-999.201311080433), but get the same problem there. I don't get the oops when booting into 3.11.0-12-generic, so I suspect the problem was introduced in 3.11.0-13-generic (especially since I see there were some changes made related to the shmat system call). Attached is the oops from dmesg. The EIP location and stack-trace are identical for all the oops I've seen so far.
