[SOLVED] Constant Kernel Panics: list_del corruption. next->prev

unit_collision · 2023-05-09 00:47:17

Hello,

Although I am not extremely new to Arch I still run into issues from time to time. This is the first one I can't seem to solve by asking friends or google search.

I play a lot of Overwatch 2 using bottles installed with flatpak, and recently started to run into issues with it where it would crash suddenly while playing. I summed this up to just general instability and ignored it.

Then I tried to run a game last week that froze up my entire system while preprocessing vulkan shaders. I had to hard shutdown which resulted in a kernel panic that removed my boot loader. I reinstalled both systemd-boot and my kernel, but my system would continue to either crash my game after thirty minutes of playing or fully lock up, going into kernel panic. I had to hard shutdown quite a few times during this period.

A friend suggested doing a fresh install of Arch to clear up the issue. I copied my '~' directory to my secondary storage and then copied it back after finishing the install. We finished doing this entire process yesterday. Today I tried to install Overwatch 2 using Lutris (since I assumed bottles may have been causing issues specifically). I was having issues where the game would crash immediately on start up, and was trying to figure out how to fix this. Sometime halfway through one of my installation of Overwatch my system locked up again and went into kernel panic. After hard shutting down again, I tried to install a different game through steam to see if the issue persisted and my system went into kernel panic again.

Most of my hardware is new, I ordered it November last year. The system went through shipping twice so I've been wondering if something could be damaged. A buddy of mine says that's pretty unlikely though. I'm not super familiar with PC specs so I don't know what all is relevant so I'm just posting everything.

Processor :
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Processor (12X 4.7GHz/64MB L3 Cache)
Processor Cooling :
iBUYPOWER 240mm Addressable RGB Liquid Cooling System - Black
Memory :
32GB DDR5-6000 ADATA XPG Lancer RGB
Video Card :
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
Motherboard :
ASUS PRIME X670-P WIFI
Power Supply :
850 Watt
Primary Storage :
1TB WD Black SN750 SE M.2 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD
Secondary Storage :
4TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive

Let me know if there's anything else information wise I can provide.

was it a native linux game?
did this other game also use vulkan shaders?
you don't have problems without playing a game, right?

else, I'm not that familiar with kernel panics, sorry.

Thanks for the reply!

Neither game I installed since the fresh install were native linux games, however the kernel panic has occurred for me playing native games before I did my fresh install (Project Zomboid). PZ would lock up, cpu usage would skyrocket, and the game would crash and send a core dump. I would be able to resume using the system afterwards though.

I downloaded the other game (Cyberpunk 2077) with the "Preprocessing Vulkan Shaders" setting off. The system locked up during the download.

Since the fresh install, these two issues occurred while downloading games. The first time while using Lutris to download overwatch. The second time while downloading Cyberpunk through steam. The issue occurred on the previous install once while I was backing up my home directory to my secondary storage. I had a few other things running at the time as well.

I'd like to add, before I did the fresh install, the issue got progressively worse with each panic occurring while the system was under lower and lower load. Some things would run fine, and then crash with less usage or strain, up to the point where a panic occurred while copying my home directory to secondary storage.

I just updated the bios to the most recent stable version to see if that helps with the issue.

I also read somewhere that journalctl -b logs are useless if I had to hard shutdown while using the system, I'm going to enable REISUB settings and see if I can catch the system in the panic before it locks up and becomes unusable.

Finished the bios update. Both cyberpunk and overwatch using Lutris seem to be working fine. Lutris has a few hiccups but doesn't crash or lock up the system like it was doing before.

I'm going to leave this issue open for a few days in case the issue shows up again while I am using the system. I plan on trying some actual stress tests to see if I can provoke the issue again.

Stress tests running xmrig and unigine-heaven for a few minutes each seem to be alright, doesn't provoke any panics. Marking thread as solved.
