I am getting this crash with the current Debian lenny UML kernel, but not with
the previous one.
The background is that I use a UML guest to provide a repeatable environment
for some builds I run each night. I use Debian lenny as my host and use the
user-mode-linux packages from that distribution. The UML image from
user-mode-linux 2.6.24-1um-1 runs fine. My builds all run with no problem in
that guest environment.
However, I wanted to rebuild the kernel and the source package for
2.6.24-1um-1 is no longer available so I tried using the latest lenny
version: 2.6.25-1um. I rebuilt that (linux and modules) from source (with no
changes yet) but when I use that as the guest UML, within a matter of minutes
I get a kernel panic:
Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)
page pfn = 2cb
page->flags = 400
page->count = 1
page->mapping = 00000000
vma->vm_ops = 0x83a7d08
vma->vm_ops->nopage = 0x0
vma->vm_ops->fault = special_mapping_fault+0x0/0x60
BUG: failure at mm/rmap.c:669/page_remove_rmap()!

This is repeatable, and occurs with the same PFN reported, even on two
completely different host systems (one is an i386 system, the other is an
amd64 system, although the guest is 32-bit in both cases). If I switch back
to the 2.6.24-1um-1 version it is fine.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong? I have tried Google but I can't find any
discussion of this error with UML and there doesn't seem to be any recent
problems in this area mentioned on LKML. Is anyone else seeing this? Is
anyone else using UML 2.6.25 successfully?
What is the best way to report this -- should I log a bug report with the
Debian user-mode-linux package?
By the way, is there any way I can get the source package for user-mode-linux
2.6.24-1um-1 so I can use that to rebuild with the changes I need, until this
problem is fixed?
