[SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

Hi,

I did install kernel 5.9.11 from testing repo and have some problems during shutdown.
After [OK] reached Power-Off there is about two pages of messages looking as crash dump info
and then computer is switched off.
I was looking to journalctl -b-1 and it is finished with:

Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb systemd[1]: Reached target Power-Off.
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb systemd[1]: Shutting down.
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb audit: BPF prog-id=6 op=UNLOAD
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb audit: BPF prog-id=5 op=UNLOAD
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb audit: BPF prog-id=4 op=UNLOAD
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb audit: BPF prog-id=3 op=UNLOAD
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb systemd-shutdown[1]: Syncing filesystems and block devices.
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb systemd-shutdown[1]: Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes...
Nov 25 09:41:37 lnb systemd-journald[212]: Journal stopped

... so messages are not in journal

Question: are these messages logged somewhere (they are to fast to read during shutdown)?

Reverting back to 5.9.10 - all is OK.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

Confirming; I see this on one of my systems (running linux-zen) - a crash trace with something to do with efivars? Scroll is too fast, I'll take a video and see if I can scrub through and find more detail.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

I do see a stack trace and register info right at the end of shutdown. I think it's a kernel panic. Are we experiencing the same issue?

OK, here's a stack trace:

What if you revert the following:

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

My problem is, that my camera is not able to take quality picture (it is unreadable) and I don't know, how to record this oops to file (probably not possible, as drives are already unmounted).
Looks as problem is identified by kernel guys and affects some systems with UEFI (maybe bugs in UEFI implementation in firmware).
I am just user and have no experience playing with kernel modifying and compiling.
My system is Lenovo Z50-75, systemd-boot and I can confirm this bug on default and lts testing kernels.
Other system is running on VMware ESXi (UEFI/systemd-boot) and I don't see this oops on reboot (either not affected or too fast to see it on remote console)

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

Ah, that's it.

According to https://lore.kernel.org/linux-efi/CAMj1 … l.com/T/#t, "The memory leak addressed by commit fe5186cf12e3 is a false positive" and there's a revert patch available there too.

I'll rebuild and confirm.

Edit: the above patch fails to build when applied against 5.9.11, probably because CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is not enabled?

fs/efivarfs/inode.c: In function ‘efivarfs_create’:

Trying again with a more minimal revert

Edit 2: OK, that compiled.

Now, let's try adding an #ifdef to detect whether CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is set...

Edit 3: That compiled, so the #ifdef worked to exclude the line. However, I don't know for certain whether that's actually the correct config item - I suspect it is, but I'm not 100% certain.

Next up, reboots!

Edit 4:

Stack trace doesn't appear now. Either of the above revert patches will work fine; I'm not really sure of the value of including `kmemleak_ignore(var);` unless any Arch config includes CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK.

Yup, this shows my lack of experience with kernel stuff:

We typically define these helpers unconditionally, and sort out the differences in the header file. In this case, we have

static inline void kmemleak_ignore(const void *ptr)
{
}

in include/linux/kmemleak.h if CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is not set.

This makes the calling code much cleaner.

kmemleak_ignore() is a noop if CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is not set. See include/linux/kmemleak.h. Thus no extra condition is needed here.

You can do (sudo) `halt` instead of `poweroff`. This will go through the shutdown sequence but then just stop, rather than power off.
This allows you to read those final messages.

Same here btw, kernel 5.9.11 has this issue on an Intel NUC8 i5, no problem with 5.9.10.

Thanks for tip. Unfortunatelly I can't see all info, only last page.
At least I can see, that Call Trace is related to efivars_destroy.

Edit: kernel 5.9.11-arch2-1 - reboot/shutdown is OK
Edit2: kernel 5.4.80-2-lts - reboot/shutdown is OK

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

I hope it gets upstreamed though, and also in stable, because until now there's been a discussion on the #ifdef in the mailing list. It seems like this form should be fine.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.9.11 Shutdown

It has been reverted in 5.10-rc6, so I assume it will be reverted in 5.9 stable and LTS as well
