Hi,
As I umount a ntfs partition, the kernel report some trace infomation,
I can't call it oops, right?
Andrew, could you tell me who is the right person should I send to?
I navagated the ntfs inode.c, and found a possible bug, replaced
kmalloc with kzalloc,
because the ntfschar size is 2. then the kernel doesn't warning
again. and the slub debug info also disappeared.
This patch works for me:
diff -udr linux/fs/ntfs/inode.c linux.new/fs/ntfs/inode.c

BUG_ON(!na->name);
i = na->name_len * sizeof(ntfschar);
- ni->name = kmalloc(i + sizeof(ntfschar), GFP_ATOMIC);
+ ni->name = kzalloc(i + sizeof(ntfschar), GFP_ATOMIC);
if (!ni->name)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(ni->name, na->name, i);
- ni->name[i] = 0;
}
return 0;
}
And please look the failed kernel message:
