Linux 6.15.* kernel crash

suspiciouslyspirited · 2025-06-28 00:56:07

Good morning.

Looking for possible pointers to track down the cause of the kernel crashing ever since 6.15.1.
- There is no specific trigger (that I can determine). The machine stays up for hours, then crashes "out of the blue".
- Downgrading to 6.14.10 alleviates the problem.
- Ryzen 7 5700x3d, GPU RX7900xt running Wayland/Sway

The dumps all look similar, with amdgpu featuring heavily in the stack trace (see below).

Insights appreciated.
Thanks.

Could you try if the same problem is also present on the latest mainline release?

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-mainline-6.16rc3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

In any case this issue will be hard to debug without a reproducer ...

Also why is your kernel tainted, which OOT module do you have loaded? Does the crash also occur without it?

razermouse(OE) razerkbd(OE) v4l2loopback(OE)

There is no specific trigger (that I can determine). The machine stays up for hours, then crashes "out of the blue".

Keep an eye on "cat /proc/meminfo" - do you run OOM/leak RAM?

suspiciouslyspirited · 2025-06-28 13:37:37

Great suggestions - thank you.

Seeing as kernel 6.15.4 was just released along with a new linux-firmware package, I'm going to try that first (before the rc-kernel) - as well as removing the modules tainting the kernel (packages openrazer-driver-dkms and v4l2loopback-dkms from extra).

No OOMs, as far as I can tell (I would expect to see relevant log/journal entries).

Thanks again. Will report back.

suspiciouslyspirited · 2025-07-04 11:52:41

A quick update:
On kernel 6.15.4 (not tainted) with linux-firmware 20250627-1 the machine remained stable all week until yesterday. I had another kernel panic, with identical-looking dump (same call stack). This time, however, I think I have the trigger: Steam is updating a game (ARK: Survival Ascended) in the background. At about the 32% completion mark, the kernel invariably panics (recreated three times). I'm yet to figure out if it's just this particular game or others too.

cryptearth · 2025-07-04 12:17:25

do you use a nvme as storage for steam?
if so: keep an eye on it's temps: game updates are quite resource intensive tasks
could be the nvme overheating may lead to the crash (just an idea)

seth · 2025-07-04 18:53:26

The amdgpu module crashes in __get_vm_area_node which is memory allocation.

If you're somehow using a tmpfs as the download destination (overlayfs?) or amdgpu leaks GTT/GART (shows up frequently) you're not gonna see any OOM killer when/before this happens.
Keep an eye on /proc/meminfo

I am seeing the same kernel panic with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT. I've only had it occur after a several hour uptime(6+) and playing Guild Wars 2 in a specific area(SMC in WvW). I have watched both GPU VRAM and GTT and memory with amdgpu_top and htop and have not noticed either hit their limits during this time.

Specifically I am using Bottles with ge-proton10-9, dxvk-2.7 and vkd3d-proton-2.14.1 when this occurs.

I believe it is a kernel bug as it is clearly stated

kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:3118!

Looking at the code: https://github.com/archlinux/linux/blob … oc.c#L3118 shows that it's

BUG_ON(in_interrupt());

This probably should get reported to the kernel, however I am new to reporting issues and am not sure where to begin. I had originally posted here because a search returned this post.

I also see that there's a commit for vmalloc.c: https://github.com/archlinux/linux/comm … fdf8841321
This is applied to 6.15.7, however I am not sure if that would be related to this at all.

The OOPS in teh OP is because amdgpu tries to allocate memory from an interrupt context.
Do you have a system journal fro context?
For the previous boot:

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

fly · 2025-07-22 15:31:10

I found the journal from a few days ago. http://0x0.st/8nes.txt

I had skimmed it at the time and nothing stood out. As far as I could tell the messages near the end are not related and are just Wine warnings.

I did notice the call trace showing amdgpu, I believe there's been a bit of changes. I that the power profile mode handling had changed. Perhaps it has already been fixed in mainline/6.16.

seth · 2025-07-22 18:41:26

That journal is mostly just flatschpak & steam, there're no obvious errors, let alone kernel oopse's, let alone anything akin to the oops in the OP… is it supposed to cover

I am seeing the same kernel panic with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT.

Randomly:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306429&p=2
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2252990
Do you also get this w/ the LTS kernel?

fly · 2025-07-22 19:20:02

Yes, that journal was from just before the panic, I am not sure why it wouldn't be showing any kernel issues either. When the kernel panic occurs it displays a QR code for the kernel log, and pauses the system until forced reboot.

For reference here's the kernel panic that I got.

[30882.408643] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
[30882.409814] Kernel Offset: 0x34400000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)

Thanks for those posts, gives me a few tweaks to attempt.
I have since updated to 6.15.7, and haven't had the panic, however I also haven't had the system on for very long.
I have not tried the LTS kernel, I suppose that would be an important way to diagnose this, I'll try if the kernel panics continue.

seth · 2025-07-22 19:54:38

When the kernel panic occurs it displays a QR code for the kernel log

Fwwi, the kernel panic'd - nothing will be stored to disk anymore after this.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kdump - but you got the backtrace and

[30882.408500]  ? drm_crtc_vblank_helper_get_vblank_timestamp_internal+0x145/0x380

it seems to fall into the vicinity of the flip timeouts (same cause, different impact?)

fly · 2025-07-26 12:01:39

I've been running the LTS kernel for a few days now and have not had the panic. I haven't changed any other values or tweaks.

Kdump looks very useful, if I continue to get the panic I'll look into setting it up.

I had same issue with linux-kernel 6.15.6-arch1-1 on AMD Ryzen 7 5600G, RX 7600. While starting some games (e.g. The Finals) system panic'd with same message:

Installing linux-lts kernel seems to have solved issue.

loqs · 2025-08-13 21:14:53

Is the issue still present in linux 6.16 and if so is there an upstream bug report?

gromit · 2025-08-13 21:16:24

Also you could test the latest release candidate:

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-mainline-6.17rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Different backtrace - does the game use a different resolution?
(Can you run it in a windowed mode?)

fly · 2025-08-14 15:32:50

I've just upgraded to 6.16, I last had the issue on 6.15.9. I'll see if it happens still.

I have been slowly trying to make single changes to see if anything would fix it. The last change I made was to switch from fsync to ntsync for Guild Wars 2 where I was experiencing the problem, I hadn't experienced the issue since however like previously stated I only was getting the panic about once a week. I'll switch back to fsync (in case that was a temporary workaround) to test 6.16.

Also previously I thought it might have been uptime related, I don't anymore, I had it happen around 5 hours system uptime, and during the week the system is often on for more than 8 hours. The inconsistency is probably due to requiring a large group vs group combat event during gameplay which isn't always happening or consistently large (the combat varies from 1 to 3 groups potentially each being about 70 players, so 210 players maximum, often the groups are much smaller, like 15 to 20, depending on two or three teams would be 30 to 80 players).

The Finals appears to be a free to play game, so I could give that a try (especially if I don't have to go into a round as it's competitive) to see if I can reproduce it more consistently.

EDIT: I gave The Finals a test on 6.16, and didn't have any problem getting through the tutorial and even played part of a match(Got kicked, I think due to some recent change with anti cheat).

I appears that 6.16 has fixed this issue for me, I have not experienced it since updating to 6.16. Usually I would have experienced it now that I've been in a few large events in game.

In case and please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Hello everyone, I recently updated my system and tried running kernel 6.16, but i still getting crashes while starting "The Finals". Not necessarily on the first launch, but if you try to launch the game about 3 times, the problem will definitely appear. I haven't tried other games because the problem occurs less frequently in them (as I remember, I was getting panic at least in "Dead by Daylight", "Forza Horizon 5", but it was much rare than in "The Finals"). I was using linux-lts kernel for about a week and it was absolutely stable.

I found that in 6.16 kernel "BOOTUP_DEFAULT" power profile is set by default, while in linux-lts (now I'm on 6.12.43-1) default power profile is "3D_FULL_SCREEN", which is strange, because in 6.11.7 "3D_FULL_SCREEN" was set by default for dGPU. Nevertheless, changing power profiles does not fix the issue, at least I tried changing power profile while running linux-lts kernel and it didn't crashed.

I have few amount of VRAM and system RAM (8 GB and 16 GB accordingly), I thought that issue was occuring in low-VRAM scenarios, but that's not the case with "The Finals". I noticed that the problem occurs less often if I disconnect/turn off the second monitor. Also, the problem started to occur more often when I changed one of the monitors from 1080p to 4k, lol.

Hello everyone, I recently updated my system and tried running kernel 6.16, but i still getting crashes while starting "The Finals".

Yeah, I had a panic yesterday. Not sure if something changed between 1.16.1 and 1.16.2 or if it was just the inconsistency that I've been having trying to repro this.

Not necessarily on the first launch, but if you try to launch the game about 3 times, the problem will definitely appear.

I'll give this a try with The Finals. I did notice on first launch that there was a freeze for a second or two, however on the second launch I did not notice it. I'll reinstall and try launching several times to see if I can repro the issue this way.
EDIT: Tried launching 10+ times, tried disabling shader cache too. This is using Proton Experimental. Could not reproduce.

I found that in 6.16 kernel "BOOTUP_DEFAULT" power profile is set by default, while in linux-lts (now I'm on 6.12.43-1) default power profile is "3D_FULL_SCREEN", which is strange, because in 6.11.7 "3D_FULL_SCREEN" was set by default for dGPU.

There was a change that allows them to submit workloads and it dynamically changes the profile, however I could not see it being changed I believe it's a bit of hidden logic.
Commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … a679e2ae8f

I have few amount of VRAM and system RAM (8 GB and 16 GB accordingly), I thought that issue was occuring in low-VRAM scenarios, but that's not the case with "The Finals".

I have 12 GB VRAM, and 32 GB and when I experience it in Guild Wars 2 neither are close to being full, usually 4-6 GB VRAM, and 10 GB RAM.

I noticed that the problem occurs less often if I disconnect/turn off the second monitor. Also, the problem started to occur more often when I changed one of the monitors from 1080p to 4k, lol.

I have not tried disconnecting my monitors because the problem is very difficult to reproduce. However it might be worth noting that I have two displays, both 1080p. Primary is 165 Hz with VRR, and the second is 60 Hz.

If you can find two kernel versions that work and don't work, you could try bisecting the kernel and finding the commit/s that cause this. I don't know if it's possible between LTS and Stable though. If someone else could help with that that would be great, I have not compiled a kernel, and am not sure of the best way to build it. I know Arch has the ABS however I don't know if it's easy to bisect with it.
