Frequent Kernal Panics - Arch Linux #33

Been having frequent kernel panics with the latest commit of the driver (d30225b) and the latest arch kernel 3.13.6. I'm on a lenovo yoga 11s.

It can occur as soon as I log on or I get as long as 15 minutes , but it happens every time. I still have testing to do but I updated the arch kernel and with that got the latest commit of the driver. I still need to revert the driver to the last commit and also the precious arch kernel, for testing, but I wanted to bring it up as an issue with arch kernel 3.13.6 and commit d30225b.

I will try to get a kernel dump message next time it happens.

I cannot help you without the traceback in the kernel dump.

This is the best I can do for now. I can't scroll so if you need something better I will do some more tinkering with it.

Unfortunately, none of the routines in the traceback are part of r8723au.

If these crashes have recently started, then you might consider using the 'git bisect' commands to see what commit contributed to the crashes.

just rebooted, was loading a ton of tabs in chrome... haven't tried to
reproduce it, as my tab state is now trashed.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

The problem was fixed by xhanging two kzalloc() calls in rtw_addbareq_cmd()
from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC().

Yjanks, that dump helps a lot. Please test this morning's commit.

Good question about GDB. If I were not writing so often to non-coders, I would make that my .sig.

Thanks for that dump. I haven't had any time to do testing since the original post. I'll load it up tonight and give it a shot and I'll post back my results. Thanks again

That seems to help. I'll throw some more traffic at it today, but so far
things are looking good.
