Subject: Re: [BUG linux-next] kernel NULL pointer dereference on linux-next-20160420
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 12:47:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <571FC5C0.1080208@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5719729E.7000101@linaro.org>
Did some preliminary investigation on this one.
The problem is the cc->freepages list is empty, but cc->nr_freepages >
0, it looks the list and nr_freepages get out-of-sync somewhere.
Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks,
Yang
