Re: [Bug #13660] Crashes during boot on 2.6.30 / 2.6.31-rc, random programs

[Joao Correia]

No formal patch has been sent yet, that i am aware of. I have made
some changes following suggestion by Americo Wang advise, to the
following:

(patch by Ingo)

diff --git a/kernel/lockdep_internals.h b/kernel/lockdep_internals.h
index 699a2ac..031f4c6 100644
--- a/kernel/lockdep_internals.h
+++ b/kernel/lockdep_internals.h
@@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ enum {
  * Stack-trace: tightly packed array of stack backtrace
  * addresses. Protected by the hash_lock.
  */
-#define MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES	262144UL
+#define MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES	1048576UL

 extern struct list_head all_lock_classes;
 extern struct lock_chain lock_chains[];

and afterwards, a new bug popped up, solved by changing

include/linux/sched.h

# define MAX_LOCK_DEPTH 48UL

to

# define MAX_LOCK_DEPTH 96UL


I have now found a third limit bug, related to MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS,
which was hidden so far, which im trying to raise and replicate. This
is being discussed in detail in another message exchange on the lkml,
between me and Americo.

Thank you very much for your time,
